Looking back, my biggest blunder was sitting tight when I got in early on that meme token around 257k. The thing is, it went absolutely crazy over the next 8 hours—hit 849k. Could've locked in serious gains if I'd at least taken some profits off the table. Instead, I just watched it happen. Lesson learned: on these explosive moves, you've gotta take some chips off when the moment's there. Hindsight's 20/20, but that's a trade I won't forget.

Never bought the dip even with a 3x increase? How strong is that mentality? --- Wish I had taken profits in batches earlier; greed kills. --- Watching 257k to 849k slip away just like that, I was completely shattered. --- That's why meme coins are just gambling; luck plays too big a role. --- This is why you need to set take-profit levels; even in a booming market, you can't go all in. --- 3x in 8 hours, unless you're naturally destined to sell early. --- So true, every time it's like watching it fly away before your eyes.

Bro, this time greed really is killing people. --- From 257k to 849k, just watched it slip away, how painful that must be. --- That's why I always take profits when I see gains now, regardless of what happens next. --- That's how meme coins work, just a one-hour thing. If you miss it, it's really gone. --- Why do I always forget to close my position once I hold on? --- Sometimes greed is even more painful than losing money, honestly. --- I should have just run when it doubled the first time. --- You can't make money with this kind of play without a cold heart.

ngl this is peak crypto psychology right here... let me break this down for my students actually—the paralysis you're describing? it's called decision fatigue under volatility, and most traders experience this exact same mental block

Oh dear, this is greed at work. A 3x increase but I didn't move... --- Should have sold half back then; this kind of crazy coin easily drives people mad --- 257k to 849k... experiencing the thrill of your account soaring and crashing, huh --- Honestly, it's still a lack of profit-taking discipline. I now sell half at a 50% gain, and only gamble with the rest --- This lesson is costly, but better than losing everything... at least there's a story to tell --- If you can't hold, don't complain. Meme coins are all about quick in and out, brother --- It seems many people have this problem: watching their several-fold gains turn into zero...

This is the most painful realization, watching it fly from 257 to 849 without cutting it at the high point is truly heartbreaking.

Let me tell you, this is a classic case of paper hands regret. From 257k to 849k, a straight 3x, and I still couldn't hold on. Laughing to death.
