✍️ Losses in cryptocurrency... aren't really about the numbers—at their core, they're first and foremost a psychological issue.

1️⃣
One of the most heartbreaking stories in crypto happened in August 2024...
At that time, Bitcoin bottomed out and started moving up.
It hit $73K at the first high of the new cycle,
then dropped back to the August low.
That was when people were posting on Twitter:
"Get out at a 90% loss... Bitcoin is going to drop to the $30,000 range... Sell your coins and buy back in at the bottom."

What happened in the end?
It never dropped to the $30,000 range...
Instead, it went up and hit a new all-time high, breaking $90,000.
Those who sold during their losses missed out on that moment.

2️⃣
What's strange?
After the market rallied hard...
The same people started promoting buying in!!!

That was when we had the November pump,
and these were the very same people shouting "get out" in this same zone.
Those who sold at a –90% loss back then...
Got back in...
So where are they now?

3️⃣
Last month, the same situation played out again.
A lot of people were promoting exiting at a loss...
I know most people's losses once again exceeded 90%,
because after the big drops this February and last October, the drawdowns were huge.

Those who tell you, "Getting out with a loss can avoid another 25% drop,"
really don't understand the psychology involved.

4️⃣
Let's be realistic...
If you invested 100,000 yuan and now only have 3,000 left:
How are you going to make back that 100,000?
No matter how smart you are, or how "outside the box" your analysis is.

If you ask the person who advised you to get out, they'll say:
"My advice saved you from a 25% further drop."
If you want to discuss how to recover the losses with them...
They'll just brush you off, and eventually block you.

5️⃣
But if you stick with it...
And you know your coin is a solid project...
Even if it takes 6 months or a year to break even,
as long as you give it time, you'll eventually be in profit,
and your mindset will become more stable and resilient.

But those who sold at a –90% loss,
are left holding just a little cash—(3% or 7%)...
They end up in a state of high anxiety:
What to buy?
When to get in?
Should I wait?
Or just buy something random and sell at another loss?
It's a vicious cycle... and in the end, all the money is gone.

6️⃣
Conclusion:
This is more of a psychological problem than a technical one.
Massive losses will destroy your decision-making ability.
Exiting at a loss isn't always the "solution."
Because the real challenge isn't whether you can get out...
The real challenge is:
Can you buy back in and hold on?

90% of people can't do it.

So...
Let me put it simply:
Exiting after big losses = an irrecoverable psychological challenge for most traders, unless you get a 50x miracle and a ton of luck.

Hope everyone can smoothly stay far away from losses $GT
