Looking back at the NFT cycle, I realize the biggest mistake was holding too long. When valuations peaked, that was the exit window—the smart move would've been cashing out at those highs instead of watching positions collapse on the way down. It's a harsh lesson about market timing and knowing when to take profits. The NFT landscape taught me that riding the wave is thrilling, but exits matter more than entries. Hindsight's 20/20, but timing the top beats timing the bottom every single time.

That's correct, greed is the root of all evil. Watching the涨停 (limit-up) makes you want to hold on a bit longer, but the result is a direct跌停 (limit-down). This wave caused quite a few losses. Not selling at the high point is truly a fatal flaw. Honestly, knowing when to sell at the top is the hardest part to execute. During the NFT wave, I also held until the floor price. Looking back now, it’s ridiculous. The key is how to judge when the top is in. Sometimes it seems it can still go higher, but then it crashes. This is why most people lose money. Entering is easy, but exiting is difficult. Every time, I think about betting on the next high, but end up on a roller coaster to bankruptcy.

timing the top is just another form of frontrunning the market collapse... except you're betting against your own bags lol

Hitting the high point is easy to say but hard to do. I'm the type who just watches the price drop... --- Raise your hand if you've bought at the floor price. Feels like this sentence hit home. --- That's correct, but who can be sure when it peaks? --- That's why I want to run as soon as I see it rising, but end up leaving too early. --- Oh my, isn't this just about me? Greed is harmful. --- Yeah, securing profits is the real skill. My repeated failures all boil down to this. --- The problem is, I have no idea where the top is. Armchair generals after the fact are the most annoying. --- I lost a lot on this batch of NFTs. Now I just want to bet on the next hot spot to turn things around. --- That's what they say, but next time I'll probably make the same mistake again.
