I've just realized something after many years in crypto — the saying "Don't buy when it's red, what are you going to sell when it's green" sounds very familiar, but in reality, how many people actually do it? I haven't seen anyone yet.
What is the reality? Most of us, including myself, have greed. When the market is hot, we often go all-in with our entire capital, lack discipline, and don't set aside some cash to be ready for tough times. Then, when the market reverses, and tokens drop 15-20%, we no longer have money to "buy the dip" and have to watch opportunities pass by.
I've learned lessons from those mistakes. The key is to keep some capital — about 30% — to wait. When the market crashes, and tokens fall across the board, that's when you can act. This experience isn't just theory — it has helped me and others make real money.
So, remember: Don't buy when it's red, what are you going to sell when it's green? To sell, you need money to buy back when the opportunity comes. That's the secret.
