Truth Bomb: "You’re not losing until you sell" is a LIE! 🚫📉 $SOL
4 years ago, I jumped into crypto. Friends said Binance was the move — I signed up, bought random coins they hyped. Early wins felt sweet. So I went ALL IN: $12,000 of my savings. 💰🔥
But guess what? I bought at the peak. Market crashed. I was stuck.
Everyone kept saying:
"You only lose if you sell."
I believed it. I held. I waited. And watched my portfolio bleed.
Reality check: Holding doesn’t protect you — it traps you.
If I had set stop-losses, I could’ve cut losses early and caught new plays. But I didn’t. And it cost me. 🧨
💡 What helped me bounce back (a little)?
A coin called SWRV. Wild swings. I used stop-loss & sell orders, played the pumps, grew my stack, and clawed back some losses. Risky? Yep. But having a plan saved me.
📚 Quick lessons:
✔️ Don’t follow hype.
✔️ Stop believing “no loss till you sell.”
✔️ Use stop-loss — protect your bag.
✔️ Learn the game. Build a strategy. Stay sharp.
✔️ Your money = your grind. Guard it.
⚠️ Not financial advice. Always DYOR before you invest.
