Taking consistent 2-3x gains and exiting might feel conservative, but it's often the smarter play in crypto markets. Sure, you could hold and potentially catch a 20-50x moonshot—or watch your entire position vanish when momentum shifts. Greed is what ruins traders long-term. Those who chase every last penny tend to get liquidated or hold through devastating crashes. The key isn't finding the biggest win; it's building a repeatable system. Lock in your profits at reasonable targets, manage your risk religiously, and accept that leaving money on the table beats losing everything. Consistency beats lottery tickets every single time. The most successful traders aren't the ones who hit one massive score—they're the ones who compound steady wins over years.

Honestly, I think 2-3x is a bit conservative to run away haha

That's right, running with 2-3 times profit is already pretty satisfying. How many retail investors are still dreaming of 100 times?

The medical record shows that this patient's greed has reached the mid-stage. Running after 2-3 times the profit? It sounds conservative, but from a clinical perspective, this is exactly the common trait of the longest-living traders. Those who insist on chasing the last point are basically lying in the liquidation room.
Strategy complications are very common—it's recommended to regularly review your risk warning mechanisms. The diagnostic cycle for compound returns is measured in years, not in moonshots.

Honestly, selling at 2-3 times might seem conservative, but it really leads to a longer life.

That's right, getting in with 2-3x leverage is really much better than going all-in.
