People often ask, when the account has already gained more than 10,000 USDT in unrealized profit, why not just close the position and lock in the gains? Honestly, my target is far beyond that. 100,000 USDT, 200,000 USDT—those are the numbers I truly aim for.

Some also suggest that since I've made a profit, I should close the position first and re-enter after a pullback. The logic sounds good, but the market is rarely so obedient. Perfect assumptions are almost meaningless in real trading—sometimes luck is on your side and you succeed, but most of the time, the outcome is a forced sell. I've seen too many stories like that.

So why focus specifically on LDO? The core reason is simple: it is a leading project in the staking sector. The approval of Ethereum spot ETF staking functionality is highly probable—this is not just my speculation, but a judgment based on market trends. The holding logic is built on this fundamental—it's solid enough.

Either this position will be liquidated in a margin call, or it will make a big profit. My plan is straightforward: wait until this event actually materializes before considering taking profits. I'm betting not on short-term volatility, but on a definitive catalyst.

LDO-0.03%

ETH-1.17%

Damn, it's that kind of gambler's mentality of "I just won't close my position" haha. But to be honest, the LDO project does have some substance. The staking narrative is currently very popular. Once the Ethereum ETF is approved... hmm, this wave could really take off. However, the difference between liquidation and big profits is often just a black swan event away. You're gambling on certainty, brother.

Selling FLY really is a thing. I've seen too many people around me go through it. Still, it all depends on whether the fundamentals are solid or not.

I've sold too many times before, now I'm just holding tightly and not messing around anymore.

I know all about selling out. I keep fooling myself every time, saying next time will be different, but it's always the same old story.

I understand the pain of selling early, data speaks for itself, and historically, the success rate of this "sell first, then buy" strategy isn't as high as you might think(´；ω；`)

Selling the peak really is the norm. I've seen too many people buy high and sell low, only to get trapped in the end.

Selling FLY is fun for a moment, but continuously selling FLY is always enjoyable, haha

honestly the "sell and rebuy on dip" crowd never learns... i've literally watched this narrative fail 1000x. you either have conviction or you don't, no in-between. the eth staking etf play is solid though, not gonna lie. ldo hitting 100k is the move if the catalyst actually lands

ngl, this is just mile 20 energy. most people can't even see the finish line from here, they're already crying about taking profits. ldo's got the fundamentals locked in — if eth staking etf actually goes live, we're not talking 10k moves. patience separates the sprinters from the real marathon runners fr

Those who sell early are all greedy; I understand this pain point. If I could really get 100,000 or 200,000, it would be a game-changer.
