The day before yesterday, I saw some good news and decisively invested around 10,000 yuan. That day, I was playing games and browsing tweets when I suddenly saw a big V retweet saying the market was about to take off. I checked the K-line and it had indeed doubled. I was so excited that I didn’t think much and sold everything. But when I woke up the next morning and checked again, damn, it had risen another 10 times. The gains I missed out on this wave are enough to make me reflect for a long time. What seems like a rational take-profit often turns into the biggest regret.

That's why I hate taking profits; my mental state completely collapses.

A typical information asymmetry game collapse scene... The moment a big influencer retweets is actually a window where market pricing efficiency fails, yet you treat it as an exit signal—that's the real tragedy.

Bro, this is our daily routine, the story of taking profits turning into stop losses is played out every day. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have listened to the big V's nonsense. This time I lost enough to gain experience. Me too, I felt pretty good when I cleared my position, but I started to regret two hours later. That's why I don't dare to look at the K-line for too long now; the more I watch, the more my hands itch. Honestly, the lesson from 10,000 yuan isn't cheap at all. Next time, I have to be ruthless and hold on. Wait, were you also caught in that group and got cut? Many people fell into this trap. Actually, there's nothing wrong with taking profits; it's just that the timing is always off, which is the hardest part. I watched it over and over again, but I still can't accept missing out on that tenfold. People are just greedy.

lmao classic exit liquidity moment. you literally calculated the basis points perfectly but forgot to account for the MEV extraction happening post-dump. if you'd run the numbers on gas optimization vs holding duration, you'd see you left like 900bps on the table. ngmi energy honestly

Damn, this is my daily routine. I sell to take profit and it immediately multiplies tenfold.
