When $ANIME got listed, I felt the familiar fear of missing out (FOMO), mainly because I wanted in at the pre-sale price. The same thing happened with $TRUMP—it launched at $5, quickly climbed to $13, and later surged to $70. I remember thinking, I could have made 6x my investment!

But in reality? I would have likely gotten rekt.

The Dangers of FOMO and Emotional Trading

Selling during a pump triggers emotions, and chasing a token when it's already pumping is often a recipe for disaster. These types of tokens require a well-thought-out entry and exit strategy. A smart approach is to buy in early, set a sell-limit order, and stick to the plan. However, even that can lead to a total loss if the sell price never gets hit.

Why I Stick to Utility and Infrastructure Tokens vs MEMEs

Looking back, I am glad I never jumped in. My focus is on tokens with real-world use cases, strong utility, or solid infrastructure backing. Even if these tokens would experience a market pullback, surely they recover stronger. Even if these tokens market would crash today, these tokens are the heart beat of the market. Bet, they reclaim their worth again and again during each cycle. I hold tokens that make the market survive instead of memes that only serve as entertainment.

My Portfolio and Strategy

  1. 30% BTC

  2. 20% WETH

  3. 30% Threshold

  4. 20% Others (XRP, VET, POL, RSR, only meme is DOGE)

My strategy is simple: HODL, buy the dips, and take profits at peaks. I make sure to accumulate during market pullbacks, especially at strong support levels, which helps improve my overall entry and exit prices. When i feel that it's a peak, i sell 30% of each token in my holding.

In this game, patience is key.
