JOMO
The joy of missing out, a calm counter to FOMO that comes from skipping a risky trade.
An inversion of fear of missing out. JOMO is the satisfaction of staying out of a pump that later collapses, or holding cash while others chase a top.
The term gained traction as exhausted traders pushed back against constant hype. It frames patience and inaction as wins, not failures. Watching a rug pull happen to someone else is the purest form of JOMO.
