My Crypto Experience: A Costly Lesson in Patience

Around three months ago, I deposited over $2,000 into my trading account and decided to invest in Solana, buying 15 SOL at $140 each. Not long after, the price of Solana started to drop. Worried about further losses, I made the decision to convert my holdings into USDT—accepting a loss of roughly $300.

But as luck would have it, shortly after I sold, Solana’s price began to rise. Today, it's trading around $180. Watching it climb after exiting my position was a tough pill to swallow.

This experience taught me a hard but valuable lesson: if you don't have patience, don't hold any crypto. In this volatile space, patience isn’t just a virtue—it’s the backbone of successful holding and long-term profitability. Next time, I’ll think twice before making an emotional exit.
