I still regret selling $ROBO back in March.
At the time, Bitcoin was dropping hard and the market felt brutal. I honestly panicked. Instead of thinking things through, I did what many traders do in a bad market — cut the position early just to stop the pain. Looking back now, it was the classic mistake of selling right when emotions were at their peak. A mistake is a mistake, and I’ll own it.
Last week I came across a report from Goldman Sachs. In it, they projected that the autonomous robotics market could reach $38 billion by 2035. After reading that, I started revisiting a few projects I had previously ignored — and ROBO was one of them.
The more I look into it, the more it feels like AI and robotics are no longer just futuristic talking points. They’re slowly moving into real production and everyday operations. Foxconn has talked about deploying tens of thousands of robots into its manufacturing lines. Tesla is still testing its Optimus robot inside factories. And Amazon has already been running massive fleets of robots in its logistics warehouses for years.
Because of that, when I look at ROBO now, I don’t see it as just another token riding a short-term trend. What caught my attention is that it’s attached to a narrative with real-world demand behind it. At the very least, this isn’t the kind of story built purely on marketing slogans.
I also checked some of the recent market data. Over the past few days, ROBO’s trading volume has been rising steadily. It’s not the typical pattern where the price suddenly spikes and dumps right after. Personally, I prefer this type of movement — it often feels like gradual accumulation rather than a quick pump designed to trigger FOMO.
Of course, I’m not overly optimistic either. The AI sector in crypto is still heavily influenced by news and expectations. Sometimes all it takes is a big announcement from a tech company or another headline about NVIDIA, and suddenly every AI token starts moving regardless of whether the project is actually related. ROBO isn’t immune to that. If the market turns bearish again, it can easily get dragged down like everything else.
So I’m not going all-in this time. After that March mistake, I changed my approach. Instead of buying aggressively, I’ve been adding back small amounts gradually each week. My plan is to look at a 6–12 month horizon rather than focusing on every short-term price swing. My current PNL isn’t anything crazy — just a little over 11% — but at least this time the strategy feels much more comfortable.
One thing I learned from the March sell-off is that some big narratives shouldn’t be judged purely by a short-term market dump. In my view, AI and robotics aren’t trends that appear for a few months and disappear. They feel more like a long structural shift. The real question is which crypto projects will actually retain value as that shift continues.
Right now, I’m watching ROBO fairly closely again. I’m not ready to say it’s the best project in the AI/robotics sector, but it has definitely made its way back onto my watchlist in a more serious way than before.
If anyone here is holding ROBO or following other tokens in the AI/robotics space, feel free to share your perspective. I’m always interested in reading different viewpoints to balance my own thinking.
This is just my personal experience, not financial advice. Always DYOR.
