When I first acquired this coin, it was only 10x, then there was an 8x correction that scared me into almost cutting my losses. But then it skyrocketed to 50x, and I started gradually selling off from 30x. Honestly, I was feeling greedy at the time and only sold half. So what happened? It later dropped more than twenty times, and I finally cleared out the remaining holdings. Seeing the sharp decline midway, I thought about bottom fishing for a bargain, but I was stopped out by the stop-loss. I still made some profit, but after all this, my mentality was completely shattered. This wave of market decline was truly outrageous, a completely irrational sell-off. Looking at this trend, if it weren’t for the profits from later stages offsetting the losses, this trade would have been a total loss.

Greed really needs to be controlled. Wanting to add more at 50x, but ended up hitting a 20+ times limit down. Haha, that's just me—refusing to sell at high levels. The mentality can really be shattered; next time, I must set a proper take-profit line. This kind of market is a test of human nature; most will end up crashing. Profit is made, but the process is really damn torturous. Can't hold on anymore; trying to bottom fish instead gets stopped out in the opposite direction, feeling that vibe. Honestly, greed is always playing out; it all depends on who can survive until the end. Scaling out at 50x is correct, just not fully executed. Another story of greed to the end, but in the end, I still made it out alive.

Greed can ruin a lifetime, brother. Being able to tolerate 30x gains but losing at 20x is truly outrageous mental resilience. --- So you're the type who wants to keep earning after making money, but ends up losing instead, right? --- Not selling at the top at 50x—that's the self-cultivation of a leek (retail investor). --- Wow, just watching this operation makes me feel sorry for you. You can even lose more when trying to cut losses. --- Basically, it's a lack of planning, relying solely on intuition. No wonder you're getting wrecked. --- It's a mindset issue, not a problem with the coin. --- Still wanting more at 50x? Oh my, greed truly is the original sin. --- Early exit to enjoy early, but you insist on earning that last dollar, and end up with nothing. --- Who’s to blame for the dump? The key is that you didn't take profits when you should have. --- This is called being able to make money but not to hold onto it—typical.

honestly, your position sizing was statistically abysmal. if you'd actually run a basic monte carlo simulation on your exit strategy, you'd see the probability of getting caught bagholding was like 78% given those volatility parameters. but sure, blame "irrational panic selling" instead of your complete lack of risk management framework. classic retail behavior masked as market wisdom.

Greed harms people. If it's 30x, you should go all in, but you insist on waiting for 50x. This is a typical human weakness; I've seen it too many times. The bottom-fishing attempt directly backfired. Luckily, I didn't lose everything.
