Sitting out while watching others cash in is straight up mentally very damaging, no matter if the market is good or bad. You start questioning your skill and your IQ for a second just because you aren't making money when everyone else is. But then you gotta compare your situation to whether you were at the right place at the right time in 2024 to hit that $100-$1,000,000 trade that gave you the capital to move on to 2025/26.

Trying not to look to the past because looking in the past is what held me back in trading. Just comparing and looking in the past, I was looking at traders that hit nice trades in early years when meme coins were on the come-up, and just traders are just buying coins nobody would bid in 2026.
