Profits ARE your capital. Burn this into your brain.
Too many degens treat unrealized gains like Monopoly money until it's gone. That 10x you're sitting on? Lock some. That airdrop that pumped 300%? Take initial out.
The difference between traders who survive multiple cycles vs those who get rekt every bear:
They compound REALIZED gains, not hopium.
Your $1k that turned into $10k is now $10k of buying power. Treat it like the real money it is. Don't let greed turn paper gains back into paper losses.
