In 2015, I bought $10,000 worth of ETH, and now it has turned into 200 million in my account just by holding it. Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime lucky break.
But once you pull up the real chart and look at it, you realize what psychological torment really means:
This isn't just a simple rise from point A to point B. Every correction along the way is a test of life and death.
When it rises to 14 million, you start to believe you're a genius investor. When it drops to 390,000, you're already considering whether to cut your losses. When it climbs again to 93 million, everything feels worth it. But then it crashes back to 530,000, and your hands begin to tremble.
The most heartbreaking question is actually very simple: can you really hold on?
Most people can't answer this question. Not because the answer is difficult, but because their wallets have long since made the decision for them.
