It all began back in early 2021 when I first stepped into the crypto world. Back then, I had no idea how to read charts or understand blockchain tech; I only knew one strategy: buy whatever other people told me to buy. The moment I saw posts on Facebook and Telegram claiming a token was going "to the moon," I dumped almost all my savings into it, fully convinced I’d be a millionaire by the end of the year.

The millionaire dream didn't last long before the market plunged into a brutal Bear Season. Prices crashed relentlessly until roughly 80% of my total portfolio vanished. With no idea what to do, I just stared at the sea of red numbers in my wallet, comforting myself with classic crypto copes like, "It's not a loss until you sell," and "I'm not down bad, I'm just a long-term investor now."

Eventually, the Bull Season returned. The charts flipped bright green, and the tokens that were once buried six feet under skyrocketed back to life. My portfolio broke even and surged well into profit. Friends warned me, "Take some profit!" but greed got the better of me. I thought, "If I survived an 80% dip, why sell now? I'm holding until this does a 10x!"

Naturally, history repeated itself. The market took a violent nose-dive for the second time.

The other day, a friend asked, "So, how’s that legendary crypto trade of yours going?"

I gave a dry smile and replied:

"Honestly, it’s been a massive success! I experienced what it felt like to be rich once, and I've mastered the feeling of going broke twice—all without selling a single token. I'm not just a trader anymore; I've officially been promoted to a full-time 'Historical Token Preservationist.'"
