Don't remind me again today

I've seen too many stories like this: accounts grow from 50,000 to 120,000, unwilling to withdraw, and then the market experiences a deep pullback, ultimately unable to hold even 60,000.



To be honest, I have also fallen into this pit. It wasn't until I watched my unrealized gains evaporate by more than half that I realized a truth – the numbers bouncing on the screen will never compare to the real money that can be spent.

**Why must withdrawals be made regularly?**

First, let's talk about the psychological aspect. When there is a large unrealized gain lying in your account, watching the market every day can become tormenting. If it goes up, you want to wait a little longer; if it goes down, you hesitate to cut your losses. But what if you withdraw the principal or even part of the profit first? Then your mindset would be completely different—what's left is all "earned bullets," and your operations would be much more rational.

Let's talk about the practical aspects. Everyone understands the volatility of the crypto market. Last week, we were celebrating doubling our investments, and this week we might be figuring out how to break even. Taking profits at different stages is essentially scoring your trading strategy—if you're willing to withdraw money, it means you've really made a profit, rather than just playing a numbers game.

**My own withdrawal rhythm for reference:**

First checkpoint: **When the account profit reaches 50%**, immediately withdraw all the principal. For example, if you start with a principal of 20,000 and it grows to 30,000, first withdraw 20,000. This way, no matter how the account fluctuates afterward, you will be in a winning position.

Second checkpoint: **After a single large market movement ends**, take 15%-25% of the profit fixed. Suppose you made 30,000 U from a round of altcoin trading, withdraw 7,000-8,000 immediately, regardless of whether it will rise further afterwards.

Third checkpoint: **Fixed monthly withdrawal**. Even if you only earned 3000 this month, you should withdraw a portion. Treat trading as a legitimate source of income, not gambling.

**Withdrawal Notes:**
- Prefer to use the official channels of mainstream trading platforms, either P2P or direct bank connection is fine, and avoid unknown OTC channels.
- The single amount shouldn't be too exaggerated; withdrawing in batches is safer and also facilitates subsequent fund proof.
- Be sure to mention the real-name account and keep all transaction records.

Final statement summary: Floating profits can be deceptive; only the money in hand can accompany you through life. The market is always there, but opportunities missed are truly gone.

Really, I know all too well what happens if you don’t withdraw that 120,000. Greed is the biggest killer in the crypto space.

Unrealized profits are all just an illusion—this really hits home. I'm the kind of person who didn't dare withdraw 120,000 and ended up seeing it cut in half. Now just looking at the account balance gives me psychological trauma.

Damn, I can't believe I went from 50,000 to 120,000 and still didn't want to sell. I'm really impressed... This is the story from six months ago, and it still hurts to look at it.

You turned 50,000 into 120,000 and still can't bring yourself to withdraw. That's really something... No wonder you're still trying to buy the dip.
