Cash out when you make money? Sounds reasonable, until you realize that coin you sold for a few thousand yuan, if you held for another week, could now be worth six figures. This is the most heartbreaking part of the crypto market. Many people fall into a strange cycle: they are satisfied with small profits and end up missing big opportunities. The key is that no one can accurately predict the next turning point. Some live to see the next round because they took profits early, while others suffer huge losses due to greed. Where is the balance? It may lie in your understanding of your risk tolerance and market cycles.

Oh no, this is my daily routine. I sell too early and regret it to death. --- Basically, it's just gambling with luck. No one can really hit the exact point. --- I'm the fool who took a few thousand bucks and ran. Now I regret every day. --- The key is to understand yourself. Obviously, I don't. --- It's comfortable to settle for gains, but my mentality explodes when looking at the K-line. --- Risk tolerance? My risk tolerance is losing everything and still persisting. --- This wave is indeed a matter of psychological resilience. Greed and fear are pulling back and forth. --- A friend persisted until the end and now has truly made a fortune, but he also experienced a wipeout. --- Can't put it into words, it's painful. I know this theory well, but executing it still fails.

This is my daily routine—the coins that have already sold always replay in my mind... Honestly, no one can predict, and it's all just luck-based gambling. I'm also a victim. Securing the profit sounds safe, but greed is the real key to wealth, haha. The key is to know how much you can lose; otherwise, you'll eventually face social death.

If I had known earlier, I would have held for another week. Thinking about it now, I still feel heartbroken. To be honest, balancing greed and timely stop-loss is really difficult. Everyone wants to make big money but is afraid of retracement. That's why I set take-profit and stop-loss levels to avoid constantly struggling with the decision.

Selling too early ruins the mood, holding on for too long leads to losses that make me question life—this is my daily routine... Honestly, I still need to understand myself better and not be swayed by FOMO and greed.
