On January 17th's close, the 20,000 principal I held has now grown to 13.9K. A few days ago, I really got beaten up by the market; watching my account shrink was tough, but luckily it has recently regained some value.

Speaking of which, the gaming sector has finally shown some movement these past couple of days. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this sector earlier and had already invested in tokens like MANA, IMX, and BIGTIME, which are part of the gaming ecosystem. Unfortunately, I didn't have the guts to buy AXS back then, but this token has seen a pretty strong rally this wave.

The process from correction to rebound is really a test of patience. Gaming tokens have shown quite a bit of resilience during this cycle, especially when mainstream sentiment shifts. These project tokens often move independently when that happens. Overall, this round of trading has basically offset previous losses, so I'll keep observing the sector's movements.

MANA3,46%

IMX-1,95%

BIGTIME-0,63%

AXS7,96%

Oops, I missed the wave of AXS, now I’m kicking myself. Game coins are indeed a bit resilient, but I don’t know how long they can hold up. 13.9? Breaking even with a good profit, just worried that the next wave will bring it back to the original. This thing called mentality is, to put it nicely, a test; to put it bluntly, it’s the process of being cut. Are you still holding MANA and IMX? Where do you think this rebound will go? To recover your funds, you need to cash out early. Your mentality is good. Is the gaming sector really an independent market? I feel like it still moves with the overall market. After playing for so long, turning 20,000 into 13.9K is already good; most people have already been liquidated. Wait, try another dip? I don’t think it’s that simple. Is BIGTIME reliable? It feels like it’s just lukewarm.

Uh, missing out on that AXS wave really is a bit of a regret. Game tokens are indeed resistant to decline. After this round of rebound, my mindset feels much better. Wait, does 13.9 refer to 139 or 1.39? I'm a bit confused. I'm also holding MANA and IMX, just not sure how long the gaming sector can sustain itself. The roller coaster from shrinkage to recovery is really uncomfortable. How did you get through it without bottom fishing?

20,000 to 139,000? Let's not talk about the data first; the real regret is that we didn't catch this wave of AXS. There are flaws in the initial research and analysis. After investigation, it's clear that the tokenomics design in the gaming sector has issues. Be cautious of subsequent dilution and market dumps. For MANA, IMX, and others, it’s recommended to pay attention to the movements of these wallet addresses, rather than just looking at the price increase. Don't be greedy. When you've offset your losses, it's time to take profits and think about it. In this cycle, there are too many projects with questionable backgrounds. Historical data shows that the independent market performance of gaming tokens is often fleeting. Be alert to a shift in capital attitude. Is it a test of mentality? More like a test of your FOMO, honestly. This rebound is just to break even? You need to look again at the fundamentals supporting it. Projects worth deploying are indeed scarce. Another capital-driven pump or genuine application? You need to distinguish clearly.

Haha, that wave of AXS indeed didn't get in, a bit of a regret. The guys holding MANA and IMX, this rebound is still reliable. The gaming sector is like this, making big money quietly. 13.9x, damn, your principal is growing so aggressively. Mindset is the key, those who endure the shrinkage are the experts. Keep focusing on the GameFi line, I feel there's still hope. This cycle, gaming projects are quite resilient, unlike other sectors which are more fragile. Everyone feels uncomfortable during shrinkage, but if you endure it, you've already won half the battle.

Haha, it's another rebound story after being beaten down by the market. 13.9x recovery is pretty good. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in on the gaming sector. Why do I always miss AXS? Did I regret it again this time? How are the gains for MANA and IMX? Mindset is really the hardest part. I often think about cutting my position when prices drop. The gaming coins are indeed showing some potential this cycle. I've also noticed their independent movement. Wait, what does it mean to roll from 20,000 to 13.9? Did you make how many times your money? Still a bit unclear. I haven't paid much attention to BIGTIME yet. Is it worth heavy investment? Breaking even doesn't mean you're making money. Keep going, bro. It's really a matter of mental resilience. Only by enduring the pullback can you see the subsequent market trend. Could the next hot spot in the gaming sector be related to NFTs? Why do I feel these kinds of tokens are too volatile? They can make quick profits but also quick losses.

Oh, it's a bit unfortunate that I didn't get in on this wave of AXS, but MANA and IMX are also pretty good. The gaming sector still shows resilience in this cycle; it just depends on how long it can hold up. From 20,000 to 139,000, rolling out the gains, you really need a strong mindset. It's only easier to talk after a rebound and recovery; keep a close eye on this sector. The feeling of earning it back is great; those days of shrinkage were really tough.

ngl the gaming token resilience rn is actually fascinating from a game theory angle—like watching market participants slowly realize correlation isn't destiny, proof sketch left as exercise for the reader 😅

Ha, it's that kind of pattern where it crashes and then rebounds. How strong must your heart be? Missing out on AXS shows your vision is still a bit lacking, brother. This wave of gaming coins is indeed interesting. Finally, they are alive again. 13.9, just break even. Being greedy might lead to even bigger losses. I'm also holding that bunch of MANA. Let's see if there can be another wave later. Mindset is really the biggest test. If you can endure it, you're already halfway to winning.

Wow, 13.9x. How strong must that mentality be? I already cut my losses and escaped long ago. Wait, I didn't hold onto AXS, so I feel a bit regretful. The gaming sector's recent performance is indeed outrageous. Mindset really is a big deal. Not everyone can withstand that period of shrinkage.
