Caught some early momentum on a few altcoins and watched the position grow 2-3x pretty quickly. The target was within reach—60k+ on the table. But greed got in the way, and I didn't take the exit when the cards were right. Should've trimmed the bag when we were up massively, let the profits run on a smaller stack instead. Classic mistake of holding too long and watching gains evaporate. It's a hard lesson in conviction versus discipline. Sometimes knowing when to cash out is just as important as knowing which trades to take.

Can't resist 2-3 times, greed really is deadly.

I knew it would turn out like this. When it's 2-3 times, you don't sell, and now you're waiting for it to hit zero, right?

ngl this is the mistake I make every time, I get greedy at 2-3 times, and end up watching the money I earned fly away, it’s heartbreaking.

ngl this is the mistake I make every time, seeing 2x or 3x and wanting to bet on 5x, but in the end, I didn't get any of them.

Holding and holding, and then it's gone. This is the normal state of the crypto world lol
