The Illusion of "Not Sold, Not Lost" – Sedative or Poison for Your Portfolio?
"Just hold – if you haven't sold, you haven't lost. 1 coin is still 1 coin."
Classic mantra in red markets. Feels comforting, helps you sleep. But this mindset is a trap: it locks capital in dead assets and kills wealth-building opportunities.
**Why "Not Sold" Means Already Lost**
🔸 **Time value of money.**
Bag-holding $1,000 down 50% imprisons $500. Cut the loss, deploy it into trending plays for 2x-3x while others pump. You're losing **time & opportunity**.
🔸 **Math is brutal.**
$100 → -50% = $50 left. Needs **100% gain** to recover.
-90%? Needs **900% (10x)** to break even. Deeper losses make recovery nearly impossible.
🔸 **"1 coin = 1 coin" only fits Bitcoin.**
Alts/memecoins can go to zero forever. LUNA, 2021 GameFi ghosts – "not sold, not lost" turned into 100% loss.
🔹 **Ultimate test:**
If 100% cash now, would you buy your bag at current price?
- YES → Hold.
- NO → Sell now.
Not selling = buying it daily.
