Yeah, don't even get my started. Hindsight is 20/20, but I definitely wish I took a lot off the table last fall, and even this spring.

when SHIB went supernova, I should’ve sold everything bcuz that’s when I got that sick feeling of euphoria where shyt feels too good to be true…at the top of 2018 I succumbed to it…last fall it made me nervous cuz I recognized the feeling but I still thought the run would mirror the last one so I figured we had a couple months lefts…at the end of the day tho I made far more than I invested…I realize you can’t time everything perfectly but I still need to get better at maximizing profit-taking

Same with me and Saitama except it was themselves who fukked everything up with failed launches and missed deadlines. :francis:


I've learned that not everything gonna make you a millionaire, at least not right away. Better to grind out small gains than to keep risking big ones.

one thing i did learn especially with shib was to not take profits in non stables like eth. tho i did get burnt when saitama came around with profits sent to UST so not everything is stable. better to USD if anything tho USDC seems good as well from what I seen. I think that what definitely scared me far as profit goes was all the talk about raising capital gains taxes by the democrats. especially since i didn't have much time in the investments, definitely less than a year. i was skeptical about paying 40, 50 or even more of a percentage cuz of all the talk especially during the election season prior. Kind of still am which is why even tho I do take profit, not much these days cuz of the market conditions, i tend to spread it out instead of everything at once. I'll convert stuff to stable but won't cash out any large amounts at one time to not raise any red flags. i think of that stupid idea they had to track every bank transaction over $600 or whatever it was they had been talking about early this year or last year, and i think of how ridiculous the whole crypto and government thing has been thru all this. it seems like they were taking money from SBF and who knows what other involvements they've had in any of the fukkery. hopefully we can weather this storm and get back to better conditions over time. all the fukkery and the industry still running so there's hope still alive.

yo is it foolish if I keep DCA'ing into the larger coins or should I just hold off? I'm not putting in a lot just a few hundred a month at the most $400

Better than what I can afford lol. But yeah I think that should be good for the long run. Long as you not going hungry or homeless chasing them gains. Hopefully no fukkery happens to end the year.

All you Drip nikkas better pay attention. I got burned last year by STRONG and then LUNA/Terra for almost 5 figures. I'm sticking to mostly blue chips only for awhile and not staking shyt although I do have some trust in Gemini staking/earn program.
Bruh drip is a project I dropped money into after I was waaaaayyyy up already and had taken enough profits to drop into riskier projects. Plus I was in drip THE FIRST day with $2500 worth of BNB and ended up pulling six figures outta that. If drip goes to dust right now I'm good. I knew what I was getting into and won't cry because I can't eat off the shyt forever.

Lmao man how the duck did we not see FTX situation coming
SBF a fukkin plant. Never heard of that dude until the end of last year. Muhfukka came outta nowhere. Has the biggest company in crypto with all kinds of banks hedge funds and celebrities backing him. Then he's "exposed" as a scammer. Company goes bankrupt then all kinds of stories comes out about degeneracy and fukkery.
