Many traders fall into this strange cycle: they wait patiently for the market to turn, and when the small K-line turns red and breaks even, or even starts to profit, they end up not selling. Holding onto the position, watching the ups and downs, thinking maybe there’s more to gain. And what’s the result? They just give up, stop caring altogether.
Coins like PIPPIN and RIVER are most likely to show this phenomenon in choppy markets. Is it really confidence in the future trend, or just being rich and reckless, too lazy to operate? It’s hard to say. But honestly, stubbornly holding on most of the time is just a battle with one’s own greed. Either wait to recover the cost, or watch the profits shrink right before your eyes.
The essence of trading is discipline in stop-loss and take-profit. The most feared thing is this ambiguous attitude.

Yeah, this is definitely a devil's moment, I've also been caught in the trap.
When you're not making money, you want to run; when you make money, you become greedy. That mindset is truly doomed.
I've also been through the PIPPIN wave, losing so much that I doubted life, really.
Honestly, it's because there's no discipline to take profits, so you deserve to be harvested.
That's why most people lose money—they're too lazy to follow the rules.
Volatile markets test human nature the most, no doubt.

This is the consequence of greed. You should have cashed out when you broke even, but you insisted on taking a gamble and ended up losing everything.

I knew it, this is a typical greed problem. After breaking even, they want to make another wave of profit, but in the end, they end up with nothing.

This is a classic case of greed addiction. I've seen too many people ruin their positions by playing like this.
