You could've played it safe. Steady paycheck, predictable life, no drama. But you heard the hype, saw those charts going vertical, and thought—why not? One trade. One moonshot. Just gotta time it right.

Yeah. About that. Now the portfolio's sitting pretty in the red, your initial conviction is long gone, and you're staring at your wallet asking what went wrong. The market had other plans. It always does.

Honestly? It's the classic crypto story. Some days you're up 50%. Other days you're explaining to yourself why you didn't take profits at the top. That gap between believing in the technology and watching your dry powder evaporate? That's the real lesson most people don't advertise.

But hey—at least you tried. That's more than most can say. 😅

Oh no, it's the same old story, that feeling of losing so much you start to doubt life --- "Why didn't I sell at the top," brother, I ask myself this question every day --- The war between technical faith and account balance, in the end, balance wins --- At least I'm still alive; not getting liquidated means I'm a winner, right? --- The feeling of turning black from red, only crypto can give that --- When the chart stands upright, no one can stop it, which is why everyone is so miserable --- Dry powder is gone, faith has faded, isn't this the usual script of crypto --- Can't play it safe, can't make quick money, caught in the middle is the hardest --- 50% happiness mixed with 50% despair, net profit is a form of depression --- "Why didn't I sell earlier" is a question more tormenting than the loss itself
