I'm going to tell you something that still makes me laugh a little… and hurts at the same time 😅
I was buying Ethereum at 2,200 dollars, with all the hope that 'this time for sure'.
But the price kept falling… 2,100 → 2,000 → 1,900 → 1,800 → 1,700.
And I kept accumulating, convinced that it was a good decision…
Until that point of exhaustion arrived that every trader knows.
I didn't sell for strategy. I sold because I couldn't take it anymore.
I left the market at 1,700, just to 'stop suffering'.
What's worse?
📈 The following week, Ethereum started to rise.
📈 It recovered 2,000… then 2,500… then 3,000… and ended up crossing 4,800.
I not only lost money selling low,
but I also missed out on a profit that would have changed everything.
What I learned (and I hope others understand before making the same mistake)
I did not lose for choosing the wrong coin.
I lost because I let the market exhaust me mentally.
The price did not defeat me.
My patience did.
Since then I understood something:
“The market rewards emotional resilience more than technical analysis.”
If you are in that moment where you no longer know whether to hold or sell…
Breathe. Don't make decisions in the midst of fear.
I did not sell $ETH strategically.
I sold because the market defeated me psychologically.
And that…
😔 is the worst defeat of all.
