The question that old-timers in the crypto circle fear the most: When will you sell?

How intense is this question? 90% of people have made big money on paper, but in the end, they all gave it back.

I know a guy who started in 2020 with $5,000 to test the waters. That bull market came fast, and he doubled his money to $10,000 in six months. During a dinner with a few friends, they advised him, "Bro, you've made enough, take out half now." He raised his glass and waved, saying, "Not even close, I see $500,000."

Three months later, the market reversed, turning $10,000 into $30,000, and after two more weeks, he was left with just a few hundred dollars.

That night, he sent me a voice message. The background noise was loud, but I could tell his voice was drifting. After that, he never opened his trading app again.

I've also fallen into traps myself. When my account hit $600,000, I was impulsive and wanted to break the million mark. But a deep correction immediately cut it back to $200,000. That feeling was like someone slapping you in the face — you wake up, but it hurts.

Later, I set a strict rule for myself: take half of the profits when I double my money. Not because I was scared, but because I finally understood — the numbers on the screen, if not withdrawn, are just a string of fluctuating code.

Now, I rely entirely on rhythm judgment for trading. There’s a new trend in the market again, and I’ve already laid out some positions, waiting for signals to confirm before acting.

True veterans are those who stop halfway up the mountain.
