#比特币2026年行情展望 Altcoins should be sold as soon as there's profit; don't think about holding forever.

Many people tend to become greedy after making money on small coins — always wanting to wait a bit longer, hoping for several more times the gain. But what happens? A piece of bad news or a large trader dumping causes the price to plummet, and you're back to where you started.

Altcoins already have poor liquidity, and with a large position, it's hard to exit completely. It's better to take profits early and use them to position for the next opportunity. This is the healthy trading mindset.

Mindset is very important: greed is the most common cause of failure in trading.

I've seen too many people crash and burn on altcoins; greed is truly unmatched.

Greed really is a terminal illness; I've seen too many people lose everything by going all-in. --- Shitcoins are just like a musical chairs game; when the music stops, you have to be able to run out in time. --- It's true that taking profits and leaving is the right move, but how many people actually do it? Most are just gambling on the next wave. --- Poor liquidity is a trap; when you want to exit, you simply can't, a bloody lesson learned. --- That's right, take your profits and look for the next opportunity—that's what it means to trade actively. --- Every time I think I can multiply my holdings again, but then a dump wipes it all out—so heartbreaking. --- Mindset is the hardest part; it's easier to get inflated when you're making money. --- The phrase "cash out for safety" sounds simple, but why is it so difficult to actually do? --- Not just shitcoins, even mainstream coins have people greedily going to the point of bleeding; it's nothing new.

I've seen too many people make and lose money on altcoins; greed truly is poison. --- Talking about profits being in the bag is easy, but actually doing it is really hard. I've even had my own losses. --- Poor liquidity is spot on; once you're trapped, the nightmare begins. --- I always tell myself to take profits, but I end up being greedy and waiting for those extra multiples, and then there's nothing left. --- Thinking of a certain altcoin I previously held, I made more than double and still wasn't satisfied, eventually losing it all back. That's when I finally understood what greed really is. --- The hardest part is never choosing the right coin, but having the courage to sell at the high point. --- Not being able to hold is truly a death sentence; watching the limit-up board makes my hands tremble.
