People often ask me the same question.

"Some coin is trapped, falling from profit to loss. Should I sell now or wait for a rebound?"

They ask sincerely, but I generally choose not to answer.

Because the answer to this question is not in the candlestick chart, nor in the market trend. It’s hidden in three places: why you initially bought in, how much fluctuation you can tolerate, and whether you still have room to maneuver. And these three answers only exist in your mind.

My own strategy is simple: cash is king. Missing out is accepted, earning less is okay, even if I miss the entire market trend, that’s a conscious choice I made, and I have to bear the consequences.

On the other hand, if you hold a trapped position, whether you cut at the bottom or hold on until you break even, or even luck out with a rebound and profit, all of this is a direct extension of your original buying decision. There are no surprises, no accidents.

Other people’s holdings are just their causal cycle. I respect that, but I will never participate.

The key point is this: the market will never cover anyone’s losses. Someone’s advice can’t save your drawdown, nor can it replace you in bearing the final outcome. Gains come at a cost, and losses are not just bad luck.

Understand this layer, and you are truly beginning to take responsibility for your own funds.
