When the market is volatile, it truly tests a person's patience.

Yesterday, I couldn't resist the temptation and chased a peak, directly losing over 100,000 USDT. It was really painful.

However, today’s dip allowed me to buy the dip a bit. The current plan is: if it continues to fall, hold onto BTC, Dogecoin, and PEPE without selling, and wait for a rebound; if it rebounds and goes up, then withdraw everything and get out completely. Goodbye.

The biggest lesson is—must break the habit of short-term trading. Honestly, doing short-term trading is a sickness, it really needs treatment. The key issue is the itch to trade, unable to resist the urge to operate. This time, I’ve learned my lesson. In the long run, holding coins is the right way.

BTC-1,2%

DOGE-0,1%

PEPE1,07%

Honestly, we all have the itch to trade; some lose a lot, some lose less. Losing over 100,000 is just like paying tuition. If next time you can hold back, you'll make a profit.

Ha, isn't this just my daily routine? This itchiness can't be cured. Losing over 100,000 in a liquidation must be so painful, I totally understand. You promised to hold the coins without moving, but a wave of volatility made you forget everything—human weakness. Are Dogecoin and PEPE still holding on? I'm starting to doubt life. Short-term trading turns into gambling, feeling like I just can't stop. It's good that I can learn from this experience this time, but I will probably make the same mistakes next time haha.

Ah, over 100,000 USDT just gone like that. The cost of being impulsive is too high. To be honest, I've also chased highs before. Every time I thought I was smart, but each time was worse than the last. PEPE, you still dare to hold onto it without selling? I really don't have that patience; I got out early. It's just about admitting you're not good enough. Don't always think about short-term turnaround; holding coins is more reliable. This time's lesson was so costly. Hopefully, I can change next time, or it might really become a problem.

The itch to trade is really the devil. I cut over 100,000 just to chase the high. I'm really impressed with this move. But since I’ve realized that holding coins is the right way, I really need to control my hands, brother.

The itch for trading is really intense; over 100,000 just disappeared like that. I also experience this often. The short-term strategies sound easy to say but hard to execute. Every time, I swear I will hold long-term, but a wave of volatility always breaks that promise. I'm also holding PEPE. Can it hold until the rebound day? I always feel like one day I’ll wake up and have to cut my position again. Can I really stay out this time? Haha. No more talking, just waiting. What else can I do?
