"I Once Sold My Xbox to Buy $DOGE … That Was Just the Beginning." 🎮💸

It sounds ridiculous now, but back in 2021, hype was louder than logic. Everyone was making insane profits — or so it seemed. I panicked. Sold my Xbox, jumped on Binance, and started buying whatever was trending. No research. No risk control. Just pure FOMO. 🧠❌

That same impulsiveness led me to a bigger mistake later…

I dropped $10K of real savings into random coins my friends hyped up. $SOL was flying. Everyone said, “Just HODL, bro — it always comes back.”

Then the market nuked. 🚨📉

“You’re not losing until you sell,” they kept repeating.

So I didn’t sell. I waited. Watched my portfolio bleed out.

But here’s the truth no one talks about:

Holding blindly isn’t smart — it’s survival without a plan.

🛠️ I started learning. Testing. Took risky plays on $SWRV but with discipline — using stop-losses, trailing exits, tight entries. It helped me rebuild. Slowly.

🎯 Hard Truths to Live By:

✅ FOMO costs more than you think

✅ Stop-loss = your safety net

✅ Hype is loud — strategy is silent but powerful

✅ "HODL" only works if you know why you're holding

✅ Always have a plan before pressing buy
