Real talk on trading: don't get too greedy. When you're sitting on solid gains, taking profits isn't just smart—it's essential. The temptation to hodl for that life-changing moonshot is real, but most traders who get rekt are the ones who watched profits slip away waiting for the next 10x. The Lambo dream can wait. Your capital security shouldn't. Lock in wins when you hit your targets. This is how you actually build wealth in crypto instead of giving it all back to the market.

Exactly right, so many people die at the greed barrier, watching their accounts turn from green to red right before their eyes.

ngl I've seen too many people go to zero directly because of greed. Taking profits early is really not a loss.

That's so true. Many people end up giving back all their profits because of greed. Everyone understands the principle of taking profits when the time is right, but execution is difficult.

Hmm... That's quite right, but how many people actually manage to do it?

NGL, that's why I only have 0.5 BTC in my account now. I was greedy before and waited for a 10x, but it just set me back to square one.
