Looking back at the GameFi craze that swept the market in 2021, I always think of that moment:
The price of MBOX soared to nearly $15, and I chose to sell everything at the peak, calmly ending this brief yet thrilling investment journey.
This operation brought some profit. But today, what I want to share is not 'how much was earned', but the deeper reminders behind this experience about human nature, the market, and how we survive in a changing world.
Timely profit-taking: the most difficult and precious practice against greed.
When prices rise rapidly, the biggest enemy is never the market, but our inner greed.
"Maybe it can go higher?" "Wait a bit more?" These voices constantly tempt everyone in their hearts.
That time, I rare chose to follow the discipline and accepted the answer of 'enough'.
It's not because I saw the future, but because I understand: in times of market frenzy, having the courage to exit is more important than staying.
True masters are never the last to leave the dance floor.
The market is ruthless: any story ultimately cannot withstand the trend.
Today's MBOX has fallen to around $0.06, a drop of over 99% from its peak.
This cruel number reminds me of an iron rule: no asset can rise indefinitely.
Even if it once had grand narratives, a glamorous team, and dazzling imagination, once the market trend reverses, everything will become pale and powerless.
In the world of investment, stories can only ride the wind but cannot go against it.
Believing 'this time will be different' is the starting point of every disaster.
Luck and skill: not to be blinded by a momentary victory
I must honestly say that that success was partly due to reason, and partly due to luck.
Choosing to sell was the right decision, but that doesn't mean every future choice will be so clear-headed.
The biggest trap is not a single mistake, but the self-inflation after a success.
True strength is not about 'what you once did right', but 'can you continue to make the right choices'.
Summary: One exit, a lifetime of reminders
This experience of exiting MBOX was, for me, a profound inner cultivation:
When greed strikes, dare to let go.
Stay clear-headed when the market is frenzied.
Stay humble when luck arrives.
And these abilities are far more worthy of pursuit than a fleeting profit.

So the question arises:
When the next bubble comes, will you be able to make the same choice?
Or will you choose to bet again and again on 'this time will be different' until you have nothing left?
Feel free to leave a message, share your thoughts, and please share this article with those who are lost in the market—perhaps a reminder can change a future.
