Looking at my trading records, I feel really frustrated. I also followed the WTF token, from being unknown to exploding, the timing was quite accurate.

But the key is, I sold too early.

Missed out on a profit of 20k to 30k+. I should have held onto this trade fully.

Calculating the numbers, starting from 17k and running to over 900k+, holding all the way would have yielded a 50x return. Pump-type tokens are like that, opportunities are fleeting.

Now I keep pondering the decision point. Exiting too early is truly the most painful mistake in trading. This is the lesson the market has taught us.

PUMP-1,6%

This is the crypto curse, always debating whether to sell early or late. --- 50x, my friend. It's easy to say, but opportunities like this are truly once in a lifetime. --- Getting in early is always better than being trapped, right? Paper gains are still gains. --- Pump coins are all about gambling with your mindset. It’s uncomfortable, but next time you’ll still have to follow. --- Haha, it feels like the missed opportunities are always the most tempting, while what you have in hand is the hottest. --- If you’re not confident in the technical analysis, it’s better to take profits. Don’t let greed bite you back. --- Try reverse operation; maybe next time someone else will be struggling with whether they missed your chips. --- From 17k to 900k is truly a dream number. By the way, how stressful was it to hold that position back then? --- The problem isn’t about selling early or late; it’s about not understanding the cycle of that coin. Feels like this time was FOMO.

Looking at your trading record, I also feel anxious for you. 50x leverage, what kind of divine luck is this... But honestly, getting out early is better than being stuck and losing everything.

Stop yelling here. What WTF has gone live and hasn't surged significantly? What do you call an explosion? A complete waste, that's more like it. I'm going to lose everything.

This is what you call greediness. Once you make a profit, you should run; you can't just wait for a full score... 50x sounds great, but what's real is what you actually get in hand.

This is a classic case of incentive distortion. When chasing highs, you're bold; when it's time to accumulate, you become timid. The psychological game theory equilibrium is always a false proposition.
