When altcoins pump 20x in a day and the gains look endless, that's exactly when you need to step back and really evaluate what's working—and what isn't—in your strategy. Yes, the money window is open, but windows close fast. Take calculated risks, sure. But don't chase FOMO and let emotions hijack your decisions. The traders who survive bull runs aren't the ones chasing every spike; they're the ones disciplined enough to lock profits, cut losses, and remember that today's euphoria can flip to panic tomorrow. The biggest mistake isn't missing gains—it's losing them by refusing to accept when a trade is done.

That's right, a 20x rally can really get you caught up in the moment. I've seen too many people go all-in out of FOMO and end up liquidated. Take profits early and secure your gains, don't wait until you meet at the rooftop.

With a 20x increase, my biggest fear is greed. You really need to set a proper take-profit, brother.

You're absolutely right. The temptation of 20x leverage can really mess with your mind. The key is to stay alive and exit the position, or else you'll be back to square one.

That's so true. The 20x leverage temptation can really make people lose their minds. I fell for it last year. That's so true. The 20x leverage temptation can really make people lose their minds. 20x? Bro, I've seen it, and then it's gone in a flash. That's the magic of crypto. Discipline is truly the biggest track. Most people simply can't do it. How many people have been ruined by greed? It's a pity. FOMO, this monster, bites everyone every time the market moves, unpredictable and relentless. The key is stop-loss. Very few people know how to do it. Basically, it's a mindset issue. If you can't control your hands, just wait for liquidation. Really, I've seen too many people make money and then lose it all back, or even lose more. The quick window closure really hits home. Those who can get out in time are the winners. Actually, it's just about not being greedy. Two simple words, but hard to do.

The moment of a 20x surge truly tests human nature. I've seen too many people make a profit and then completely give it all back.

20x leverage is indeed exciting, but I've seen too many people lose everything due to greed. Honestly, it's important to learn to take profits in time.
