Recently, I experienced the thrill of MEME coins, bought some to try, and before I could fully adapt, I hurriedly ran away. There's a pretty painful issue here—the psychology of taking profits.



Playing high-volatility assets like this, it's easiest to fall into a trap: watching the price climb step by step along the green ladder, thinking "just a little more," and then feeling like standing on a tall building looking down, getting more and more dizzy the higher you go. That feeling causes people to keep holding on, greedily hoping for the final wave of the market.

But the problem lies right here—the moment of peak is often when the dump begins. Many people have fallen at this critical point. Overcoming the psychology of taking profits isn't easy, but you really need to learn to stop at a certain point. Otherwise, watching your position turn from green to red—only those who have experienced it know how that feels.

Bro, I'm really feeling for you with this wave of mental breakdowns. Taking profits is always the hardest lesson.

Hey, this is my daily life in a nutshell. Going all in when I'm finally blinded by green, only to end up on a roller coaster ride. Honestly, knowing when to take profits is easy to say but hard to do. You're right. When to really run depends on luck. MEME coins are like that, the thrill of making quick money is too addictive. If I had known earlier, I would have taken advice. Now I'm still eating dirt. Greed is truly the most deadly. When it's green, everyone thinks they can fly a little longer. Now I just want to sell when I see big gains, to avoid getting trapped. Setting a take-profit is easy to change, but the hardest part is psychological. Actually, you just need to learn to take profits when it's good, instead of trying to catch the whole market.

Really, taking profits is even harder than cutting losses. I also want to hold on a bit longer every time, but end up falling from heaven to hell. --- Turning green to red happens in an instant; greed really is poison. --- That's why I now set automatic sell orders, leaving no chance for myself to regret. --- Still the same advice: secure your gains, no matter how many dreams you have, you need a plan. --- Every time I say next time I will definitely take profits, but what happens? I end up repeating the same mistakes. It's so true. --- My strategy is to sell after a certain percentage increase, regardless of whether it can go higher. It's exhausting. --- The most toxic feeling is actually that "almost doubled" sensation, which drives people crazy to chase the rise.

Really, taking profits is even harder than cutting losses. I am that greedy fool, watching the gains shrink right before my eyes.
