There is one phrase that I hear most often:
«Cutting losses is nonsense! It's better to wait!»
This is said by someone who hasn't seen it yet,
like a coin falls — and never comes back again.
In trading, there are two paths:
— the first: admit the mistake, take the loss, and move on;
— the second: wait it out… and bury the capital forever.
I saw both options.
And you know what?
The first always wins.

## 🔥 The reality that beginners don't talk about
On the charts, everything looks beautiful: it fell — so it will rise.
But in reality, there are coins that:
- fell by 70–90%
- then fell again
- and then disappeared from the radar
I personally fixed losses on assets,
that seemed "strong".
And I never regretted it.
Why?
Because after months, these coins:
- fell even lower,
- were delisted from exchanges,
- disappeared from the news,
- died along with liquidity.
**Losing –10% is unpleasant.
Losing –90% and then sitting in an empty coin is painful.**

## 📉 The most dangerous market mistake
Thinking that waiting = strategy.
No.
Waiting is hope dressed as a decision.
And the market does not respect hope.
The market respects discipline.

## 🎯 Why fixing a loss is strength
Because:
1) You preserve capital.
And capital is the only fuel for a trader.
2) You take control back.
While you "wait", the chart controls you.
3) You free up money for normal assets.
Better to enter a strong coin than to hold a dead one.
4) You take off your fear.
After fixing, there is only a clear mind and a new opportunity.

## 🔑 The main rule
❗ Not all coins come back.
Some come back.
Some never.
Some disappear forever.
And the sooner you understand this,
the faster you stop playing the "waiting game".
Fixing a loss is not a defeat.
This is a decision that protects capital and accelerates growth.
