$GUN this small coin really knows how to play. The position wasn't large, but when it surged to 0.02898, it generated over 1600% return, and at that moment, I was holding a floating profit of 250U. Clearly, it was time to take profits, but I chose to gamble instead.
Thinking that since things were already like this, I might as well hold and see if it could hit a new high. And what happened? The market gave me a loud slap — the price directly returned to the starting point. That little bit of hope vanished in an instant. By the time I regained my senses, there was only a pitiful profit of a dozen or so U remaining in my account.
This round of operation clearly demonstrated the cost of greed. It seems that the long-term holding strategy doesn't suit someone like me who lacks execution discipline. If I had known to cut at 0.02898, I could have at least pocketed over 300U in profit. The lesson is clear — in the high-volatility game of small coins, you must take profits when the time is right.
---
Anyway, I don't touch this kind of coin. High volatility equals high risk. If you greed a little, you'll be done.
---
It's easy to say "take profits when you see good," but when the time comes, everyone wants to gamble. I understand.
---
Small coins are like this—rise quickly, die quickly. Without discipline, playing this just gives money to the market.
---
Laughing to death, the dream of 250U instantly turned into a reality of just a few U, this is the gift from $GUN.
---
Honestly, it's just greed, no other reason. Not cutting when you should, but insisting on gambling.
---
This lesson is worth it. At least I understand what kind of physique I have. Continue like this, and I will eventually lose everything.
---
Another story of taking profits when the time is right, but nobody can really do that, right?
---
A 1600% return was gambled all the way back to the starting point. I have to say, you must have a really strong mentality to keep playing.
---
Small coins are like this: you make quick money but also lose it the fastest. Without execution, you don’t deserve to play.
---
The moment it hit 0.02898, it should have been cut. But you insisted on gambling, and now it’s too late to regret.
---
Watching the account drop from 250U to just a few U is a lesson that runs deep.
---
Holding long-term with this theory is just a joke on highly volatile small coins.
---
Honestly, greed harms people. How long will it take this time to break even?
---
I just want to ask, if given another chance, would you dare to take profits at the high point again?
---
That’s why I say small coins can’t be played for too long. Once the mentality breaks, everything is over.
