Many people in the community have already profited from this wave of market movement. The BNB narrative is still fermenting, and it's hard to see the end in the short term.

The hardest part of investing is not choosing the right coin, but maintaining the right mindset. Once you make real money on a certain coin, the most rational choice is to take profits in time. But the reality is, after most people make a profit, they are even more eager to add to their position — that kind of greed is hard to suppress.

As someone once described, being too dedicated makes you a bad boy, but there are too many opportunities in the crypto space, making it difficult to truly take profits. Repeatedly entering and exiting the same asset is often driven by this psychological tendency. Staring at the market every day, waiting for the next surge, often results in losing more the longer you wait.

It's still important to remind yourself: take profits when you can, and don't give yourself too many chances to come back.

It seems to be the same old tired mentality argument... but the real issue is that when influencers post this kind of article, their wallet addresses have already been emptied three hours earlier. I scanned the on-chain data, and the fund flow for BNB in this wave is quite interesting—several dormant wallets starting with 0x suddenly becoming active, with suspicious transfer patterns, as if they are laying the groundwork for the upcoming crash. Taking profits sounds great, but can you explain why early holders are clustering their movements at this point? Abnormal transaction patterns at the contract level have already been revealed.

That's a brilliant point. Greed is the damn thing that can ruin people the most. I've seen too many people who want to double their earnings after making a profit, only to end up losing it all and even go into debt. Taking profits is really a thousand times harder than choosing the right coins.

This mindset, yeah, it's not wrong to say but just hard to do. After making a profit, the urge to keep going gets even stronger. It's easy to say but really difficult to implement. Greed is something you can't really guard against. I can write the words "take profit," but I just can't execute it, haha. This wave of BNB isn't over yet, but I have to control myself and not go all in. In the end, it's all about losing to myself, not losing to the market. Staring at the screen every day makes you a fool, and I am a fool too. I've heard a hundred times that "take the profit and run," but I still can't resist the desire to make another trade.

That's so true. I'm the kind of fool who wants to make another round after already making a profit, and as a result, BNB just got trapped by this wave. Every time I tell myself to take profits, I turn around and think what if it goes up again. The greed makes me poorer. The biggest enemy is really oneself. --- It's easy to see others making money, but when it comes to my own trades, I get greedy and keep entering and exiting, ultimately losing everything. --- That's why there are few people making money in the crypto world; they can't get past their mindset. --- Securing profits and taking the money off the table sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Every time I think it can go higher a bit more. --- I really dislike this feeling. Even though I made a profit, I can't bear to sell, and in the end, I get cut. --- BNB is still rising, but reading this article makes me a bit anxious. I feel I should take profits in time.

You're so right, I'm the kind of fool who wants to try again after making a profit. I didn't sell when BNB doubled last time, and as a result, I was trapped for half a month before breaking free. Now, looking at this wave of market, I start to get itchy again. --- Mindset is really much harder than choosing coins, I can prove that. --- "Take profit and leave" sounds simple, but actually executing it is damn difficult. --- This paragraph hit right in my heart. Greed always kills. --- I've written the words "take profit" a thousand times, but I just can't do it. --- The saying "the more you wait, the more you lose" hits too close to home. I am now a living negative example.
