$BTC going above $120,000 and then falling below $60,000 made me realize something that most people in crypto don't want to hear.
A lot of us will never become rich from this market—not because we picked the wrong coins, but because we never know when to take profits.
You can grow a portfolio from $10M to $60M, but if you never sell, none of that money exists in the real world. It's just a number on a screen.
I remember seeing someone sell all of their Bitcoin around $110,000. People called it a mistake because they believed $400,000 was coming next. Looking back, I think they were the smartest person in the room.
They understood something most people don't.
You don't need to sell the exact top. You just need to make sure your profits actually become yours.
Buying BTC at $46,000, watching it reach $120,000, and then riding it all the way back below $60,000 without taking profits isn't diamond hands—it's letting emotions make your decisions.
And Bitcoin wasn't the only example.
The exact same thing happened with $ETH , $BNB , and many other coins.
The market rewards patience.
But it rewards disciplined profit-taking even more.
