Looking back at my recent trades, I’ve noticed a pattern: the coins that actually made me money all had one thing in common—they took off quickly after I bought them, leaving my entry price far behind.

Take that previous project, for example. Not long after I got in, it went 20x. Or that recent token I bought around a $50,000 market cap—it’s already performed really well. Holding these kinds of coins feels comfortable, and I have the confidence to adjust my position later if needed.

But what about the ones that trap me right after I buy? They just hover around my entry price, moving up and down for a week or even longer—honestly, I really can’t hold onto those. My mindset breaks down, and I either sell at a loss or miss out on later gains.

Once I understood this, I felt a lot more relaxed. There’s just some money that doesn’t fit my style, and that’s okay—no need to overthink it or feel regret. There are so many opportunities in the market; I just need to find the ones that suit my own rhythm.

Damn, this is my painful history. Buying in and immediately getting stuck is the most torturous thing—it just ruins my mindset.

Absolutely right, this is exactly what I've been realizing. Coins that take off quickly are true friends, the rest are just there to wear down your mindset.

To be honest, holding coins that can take off after buying the dip really feels comfortable; your mindset is completely different.

That's absolutely spot on, this is exactly what I've been exploring. You don't even have to worry about coins that take off quickly, it's the ones that keep grinding back and forth that are the most exhausting. --- I totally get the idea of ambushing a 20x with a $50k market cap, but the problem is how do you screen for these coins? Is it luck or is there a method? --- Recognizing your own style is really key. I used to stubbornly hold onto coins I was trapped in, and in the end, my mindset was a mess—it was all my own fault. --- If you can't hold, just sell, and don't regret it once it's done. There are so many opportunities in the market, why torture yourself? Your mindset adjustment is really good. --- When did you get into the coin that did 20x, and how did you find it? Share your thought process, this is exactly what I feel I'm missing. --- The core is that quick break above your cost price—once it breaks, it's basically stable. Timing this inflection point well is the real key to making money.

That's absolutely right. I recently came to the same realization. As long as the coins you invested in early take off together, there's basically no pressure. That feeling of being stuck and tormented by losses can really mess with your mindset. The key is to find the right rhythm.

This is a classic case of survivor bias. You just automatically forget about the tokens that got stuck, huh?

Haha, 20x leverage to take off right away—that's my style, holding on tight. --- Having my coins stuck for a week really wrecked my mindset. I still need to find projects that take off quickly. --- Wish I had realized earlier that I can't hold through consolidation. Wasted both time and energy. --- I like this kind of move—ambushing with a $50,000 market cap. How's the gain so far? --- You're right—not every opportunity is my thing. Finding the right rhythm is most important. --- Reading this feels like you're copying my notes. Coins that take off fast really feel more solid. --- Once a coin gets stuck, I start agonizing over whether to cut losses. Might as well just pick fast movers from the start. --- I agree with this logic—not every coin needs to be held to the end. Exiting alive is also a win. --- Low market cap ambushes are easier to take off, but the risk is higher too. How do you filter them? --- After giving up on those grinding coins, I really do feel more relaxed. This feeling is so real.
