Here's the real dilemma: you can walk away risk-free at $100k and re-enter on a pullback if the move doesn't hold. That's the safe play. But if this rally is genuinely different—if the macro conditions and adoption curve actually align this cycle—then sitting on the sidelines costs you everything. The asymmetry is brutal. Zero losses versus maximum opportunity cost. Most traders face this exact moment and freeze. The math says cut losses at the round number. The psychology says this time might actually be different. Which pressure wins out usually determines the result. Consider your conviction level, not just the price chart.

100,000 sell-off or gamble that this wave is different... To be honest, I'm also torn.

The concept of mental accounting is the real deal; mathematics can never beat greed.

To be honest, this is the most torturous moment in the crypto world... Whether to cut losses at 100,000 or to gamble that this round is truly different, I'm stuck in this dilemma right now. Math tells me to cut losses, but my mind says this time might really take off. Who the TM can endure this kind of torment?
