đ§ Selling in Fear Breaks Compounding â and Locks in Long-Term Losses
Across the last four major bear markets â 2018, 2020, 2022, and now 2025 â the same brutal pattern repeats:
When fear peaks, investors rush for the exits.
US mutual fund and ETF flow data shows massive outflows right near market bottoms.
Money leaves not because long-term fundamentals collapse â but because short-term pain becomes emotionally unbearable.
Thatâs how compounding dies.
đ Panic selling converts temporary drawdowns into permanent losses.
đ The biggest rebounds usually begin after most investors have already given up.
Markets punish emotion.
They reward patience.$BTC
