If your portfolio falls 90%, you need a 900% gain just to get back to where you started.
Many people think that a 50% loss only needs a 50% gain to recover. That’s not how the math works.
10% loss → 11.1% gain 20% loss → 25% gain 50% loss → 100% gain 80% loss → 400% gain 90% loss → 900% gain
The bigger the loss, the harder the recovery.
This is why risk management is so important, especially in crypto. Protecting your capital and avoiding large drawdowns can make a huge difference in long-term results.
