The hardest skill in crypto isn’t buying early, it’s knowing when to sell. This is my 3rd cycle, I’ve watched six-figure wins vanish because I got greedy. I’ve held through the 'just one more pump' phase until there were none left. I used to think profit taking meant weakness. Now I know it’s the strongest move a trader can make. I’ve round-tripped life changing trades, felt like a genius one day, watched it all bleed back the next. That pain taught me what no bull market ever could: paper profits mean nothing until they’re realised. So this cycle, I changed: No chasing tops. No fantasy hopium exit targets. I scale out into strength and move on. Some plays kept running, but I locked in peace of mind, not unrealistic up only dreams. If you’re scared to sell, ask yourself this: What’s the point of making money if you never actually take it? Profit > Paper. Survival > Perfection. Freedom > FOMO. Take the win. You’ll never regret that.
