Look, everyone picks the wrong crypto sometimes. That's just part of the game. What actually drains your portfolio? Holding onto a losing position because your ego won't let you hit that exit button. Pride costs way more than admitting you made a bad call.

These are the pitfalls I've stepped into. Clinging to them instead of letting go results in even greater losses.

Really, sometimes I just can't bring myself to press the sell button, constantly finding reasons in my mind as I watch the numbers drop. Conversely, those who decisively admit defeat tend to live longer.

You can't argue with that, I have deep experience with this. The hardest moment is when you have to cut losses, always hoping to turn things around, but the more you hold on, the deeper you get trapped.

To be honest, stop-loss is a hundred times harder than choosing coins. Watching it turn red and still holding on tightly just because you don't want to admit defeat, this move is truly remarkable.

Really, the hardest moment to cut losses is not losing money itself, but swallowing that bitter pill.

Isn't this the art of cutting losses? It's easy to say but hard to do.

Stop-loss is even harder than bottom-fishing, and that's because of that damned pride.

Really, stop-loss is much more difficult than choosing coins. Many people absolutely refuse to cut losses because they can't let go of that pride.

If you can't hold on, then you have to let go, or you're just bleeding yourself. I've seen too many people stubbornly hold onto worthless coins, and in the end, they don't even know how they died.

Taking a loss and admitting defeat really saves much more money than stubbornly holding on, it's just that button is damn hard to press.
