I invested $1,800 across fundamentally strong assets including $XRP , $SOL , $AVAX, $LINK , and $DOT.

Due to the broader market correction, the portfolio value is currently around $759.

This experience highlights an important truth in crypto markets:

🔹 Unrealized losses are not final until positions are closed

🔹 Panic selling near market bottoms often locks in losses

🔹 Risk management and patience matter more than timing tops

Instead of reacting emotionally, the focus now is on:

Evaluating asset quality

Avoiding leverage and revenge trading

Waiting for market structure and sentiment to stabilize

Planning exits based on data, not fear

Market cycles reward discipline, not impatience.

Every drawdown is a lesson — how you respond defines the outcome.

📌 This is not financial advice. Always manage risk responsibly.
