I bought a coin at $7.22. Today it's at $0.32.
Down 95%.
I keep telling myself "it'll bounce back."
But deep down? I know it won't.
That's the most expensive lesson I'm learning in crypto.
If your portfolio is down 80%, 90%, or like me 95% - listen up:
I'm not here to tell you what to do.
But I'll tell you what I'm learning the hard way:
The question isn't "will it come back?"
The question is "will it come back FASTER than other opportunities?"
Because here's the brutal truth:
That loss already happened. I can't undo buying at $7.22.
But I CAN choose what happens to the remaining $0.32.
Three paths I'm seeing:
Path 1: The Believer
You genuinely believe in the project. Team is still building. Community is active. Use case is real.
Then maybe you hold. Maybe even average down if you have conviction.
But be honest with yourself: Is this belief or just ego?
Path 2: The Realist
Project is dead. Team disappeared. No real development. Just hopium tweets and broken promises.
Cut the loss. Yes it hurts. But watching $0.32 go to $0.10 hurts more.
Take what's left. Put it somewhere with actual potential.
A 3x on your remaining capital beats a 0x waiting for a miracle.
Path 3: The Frozen
You can't decide. Too painful to sell. Too scared to hold.
Then close the app. Come back in 3 months.
Staring at red numbers every day just destroys your mental health for zero benefit.
Here's what I'm struggling with:
My ego wants to be "right."
It wants that coin to pump back to $7.22 so I can say "see, I knew it!"
But my brain knows that's not how markets work.
The hardest part isn't the money.
It's admitting I was wrong.
For everyone down 80%+:
The loss already happened.
Now ask yourself: "What would I do if I wasn't emotionally attached to this?"
That's probably your answer.
What's your biggest underwater bag? And are you holding out of conviction or just hope?
Let's be honest with each other. 👇
