I mixed up the allocation ratios in two projects—invested $50k into one and only $5k into the other. Looking back now, the allocation is severely unbalanced. This is a classic investor mistake: the judgment of a project's potential is often less accurate than the market's actual performance. The combination of large fund inflows and small trial investments may seem like risk hedging, but in reality, it exposes a bias in understanding the market rhythm. This lesson is quite profound.

I've also done this before, it hurts. The one with 5k actually increased by 10 times in the end.

Haha, isn't this just my common problem? I always think I've got the right result, but then society hits me hard in return.

Haha, isn't this what we're all going through... losing the wrong bet is the most heartbreaking.

How's that 50k you threw in doing now? Cut in half? --- This is typical FOMO aftermath. On-chain data was signaling it all along, we just couldn't see it. --- Sounds nice to call it "cognitive bias," but really you just lost the bet, right? I get it. --- How come you weren't this smart during backtesting? Now you're filled with regret. --- That $5k one doubled instead? Now that's ironic. --- The eye of the storm is safest, yet still got liquidated. Pretty on-brand for my average performance. --- 10:1 leverage ratio... damn, how much guts did that take? --- Next time remember to reverse it. Looks like contrarian thinking is the real way. --- So now debating whether to add $5k to that position or cut losses and exit? --- On-chain whales saw through it all early. Us retail traders are always one step behind.

Haha, isn't this just my daily routine? I am the clearest when money is thrown in the wrong direction.
