Dump your stack early and you'll spend years watching what could have been. That's the real cost of panic selling during altseason. Everyone thinks they're a trader until the alts start pumping—then suddenly 'getting out with profits' feels smarter than actually riding it out. The ones who'll regret it most aren't those who held through the crash. It's those who sold the bottom thinking they were being wise.

Honestly, a one-second difference in mindset can turn you into a leek, this is the magic of altseason. --- Those who cut their losses at the bottom are probably reflecting on their lives now, haha. --- Wait, does this mean I should hold on tightly? The problem is, how do I know when the real bottom is... --- It’s always like this, a slight shake of the hand and I regret for three years. I’ve had enough. --- The common point among paper hands is that they think they are smart for selling at the top, but in fact they are just being controlled by fear. --- The difference between hold and panic is just a matter of psychological preparation. It’s too difficult, brother.

Honestly, those who sold early should be regretting now. Watching those who held on, they're making a killing.

I looked down at my account and then at the chart. Wow, this is truly a bloody lesson.

Good morning everyone. At 3 o'clock, I thought of those who cut their losses at the bottom—they were actually worn down by their own time cost. Watching the chart bounce back is more painful than any gas war, cutting deeper than any sell-off.

That's so true. The people who sold at the bottom back then are probably kicking themselves now.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sold. It’s so painful to see it rise like this.

Really, I started to regret the moment I sold, this is the curse of crypto.

To be honest, every time I see someone buy the dip at the bottom and then rush to sell, only to watch the coin skyrocket. That feeling is unbeatable, haha.
