You ever notice how quickly people latch onto economic narratives that fit their political narrative? It's wild—confirmation bias runs deep. Folks will cherry-pick data, embrace half-baked theories, ignore contradictions...all because the story aligns with what they already believe about whoever's in charge. In crypto markets, same thing plays out constantly. Traders convince themselves of bull cases that validate their bags, dismiss bearish signals as FUD, construct elaborate frameworks to justify their conviction. The psychology is identical. Real market literacy means questioning your own bias first.

Listen, I'll just say one thing—when a promising coin drops, it's called market manipulation; when a bearish coin rises, it's called the big players cutting the leeks. So what, are we all smart people?

That's why there are so many self-deception stories in the crypto world— the more you hold, the less your brain works.

No, I mean, this is true clarity. How many people are still self-hypnotizing themselves?

I've heard this kind of argument too many times, but it really hits home. When you're holding your own bag in your hand, who genuinely wants to hear the opposing opinions?

Well, that's right. We're all living in our own information bubbles.
Holding positions is justice. This is the most true statement in the crypto circle, haha.
No matter how you look at your own bags, you're always right. Opposing opinions are just FUD, classic.
Confirmation bias is something I've also done a lot... gotta admit.
The psychological game in the crypto world is even more ruthless than in traditional markets.
The hardest part is to face the facts that contradict your own views.

Oh wow, isn't this the same drama we see in the crypto world every day?
When your own bought-in coins go up, it's considered value investing; when others' coins go up, it's the big players harvesting retail investors. Truly unbelievable.
