That whole "I earned this splurge" mentality? Yeah, it's basically keeping certain folks in the crypto space perpetually profitable. Every time someone hits a 2x on some memecoin and immediately apes into the next shiny thing thinking they've unlocked some trading superpower—that's the cycle. FOMO-driven retail convincing themselves every win justifies the next reckless move. Classic pattern that never gets old.

To put it bluntly, it's a game of self-deception; making a little money makes you feel like a trading expert.

Ngl, this is the psychology of a gambler; win once and you think you're a genius trader, haha.

the "unlocked trading superpower" part hits different when you map it against actual price deviation data... retail literally cannot help themselves lol

Really, winning a trade with 2x makes me feel like a trading genius, but the next second I'm played people for suckers... how tight is this cycle.
