Understand a principle: if a coin is continuously losing money and shows no signs of rebound, instead of waiting indefinitely to break even, it's better to switch tracks and move to other projects to recover profits.

Holding on to a coin with no growth signals is like betting on an impossible comeback. The time cost is there, and the opportunity cost is also there. Market conditions change rapidly; the coin that had the biggest gains last year may not have the same potential this year. Conversely, those newly emerging, hot projects might actually be the real profit points.

Rather than obsessing over trapped orders, it's better to use that portion of funds to participate in projects with vitality. Ultimately, the core of making money is not waiting on one coin to break even, but constantly capturing opportunities in the flow. Being able to cut losses and switch directions keeps your mindset stable and your account growing. This time, I finally understand it thoroughly.

Honestly, I've heard this a hundred times, but I just can't do it.

That's right, holding onto a coin stubbornly is basically a waste of time. But on the other hand, the real difficulty is when to let go. I just can't seem to get it right. Making money indeed relies on liquidity, but most people are just jumping from one trap to another.

Waking up too late, I should have thought this way earlier. --- Holding onto shitcoins is really a waste of time; it's better to chase hot topics. --- That's right, but when it comes to action, most people still find it hard to cut. --- Opportunity cost is indeed easy to overlook, I can really get that. --- Unbounded rebound... this sentence hit me, why bother. --- Switching to something better than waiting passively is much more comfortable, although taking losses still hurts. --- Finding opportunities in movement is much better than stubbornly holding onto a coin. --- Most coins that surged last year are underperforming this year, really. --- Talking about stop-loss is easy, but actually doing it is really hard. --- Projects with vitality are indeed more worth investing effort in. --- Mindset determines the account, this is the truth. --- Instead of betting on a comeback, it's better to switch tracks and start over. --- It's good to have an epiphany; many people have to cut several times before they understand. --- New coins, new opportunities, isn't it more attractive? Why stick to old traps?

You are absolutely right, I have deep experience with this. Instead of holding onto those dead coins and waiting for a miracle, it's better to take the initiative to find new growth points. Opportunities are always moving.

That's right, clinging to worthless coins is just wasting life. Instead of staring at that dead fish every day, it's better to look for projects with warmth.

ngl this is just optimal window thinking applied to portfolio management... except you're watching on-chain volume instead of gwei spikes. smart reallocation beats diamond-handing a dead token any day tbh

You're right, holding onto a trash coin is just a waste of life... Opportunity cost is the real killer.
