The big gains in your hands, nine out of ten times, come from that period you least want to look back on.
Just think about your own experience and you'll understand. What does true bottoming look like?
No one is talking, no buzz. No stories to tell, no one cares. Whatever you say, it seems no one is listening.
But this is exactly the signal. When the market no longer needs you to speak out, it’s actually the best time to lay low. Opportunities are always incubated in cold water, not under the spotlight. The same goes for this cycle of Ethereum; many people are waiting for this stage.
True investors understand that the best time to position is when most people are already numb and indifferent.

Well said. The most difficult days turned out to be the most profitable. With this ETH momentum, I'm just waiting for that moment.

The idea of incubating in cold water is brilliant. I did it exactly like this last year. No one paid attention to me back then, but looking back now, I made a fortune.

You're so right. When ETH dropped to a few hundred dollars, I was still hesitating. Now I regret it to death.

That really hits home. I kept shouting that Ethereum was about to take off every day, but no one paid attention. Now I realize that was the best time to get on board.

Exactly right, the low points are when everyone collectively forgets.
I love the phrase "cold water incubation," I'm experiencing it now.
Last year at this time, no one paid attention to Ethereum; now it's a matter of who can endure.
People tend to be most numb at the bottom; this wave is indeed a period of waiting.
It's only when there's no hype that it's a real signal; you can never find bargains under the spotlight.

Exactly right, the low points are when no one pays attention. The batch of ETH I bought last year now, looking back, was the hardest few months, being criticized as trash coins every day, but then it tripled in value. Truly, the most painful times are the best opportunities.

empirically speaking, everyone's biggest gains came from periods they actively tried to forget. the silence is the signal, not the noise. when eth's trading at prices nobody wants to discuss, that's when the actual positioning happens. contrary to popular belief, apathy isn't bearish—it's the mathematical proof that smart money's already moved.

I love the idea of cold water incubation, but honestly, when will the water really be cold... I have no idea about this temperature right now.
That last wave last year really numbed me, and now it's starting to stir again. Isn't this a trap?
The worst thing is thinking you're at a low point, only to see it drop even further. How do you tell the difference?
