$BTC ATH Reality Check: What They Won't Tell You

As BTC reaches new all-time highs, the euphoria is intoxicating. But this is exactly when discipline matters most.

Hard Truths During Bull Markets:

-Risk LESS as prices climb higher
When BTC was $20K, I took bigger positions. Now at ATH? I'm reducing size. Most do the opposite and get wrecked.

-Take profits on the way up
Waiting for "the perfect top" is how fortunes disappear overnight.

-Everyone becomes an expert in bull markets
"$200K BTC this cycle" - sounds great until you realize these same voices were silent during the bear. Trust your analysis, not the crowd.

-Your net worth isn't your ATH balance
That portfolio peak you hit last week? It's not real money until you sell. I've watched too many people measure wealth by unrealized gains.

-Unrealized gains = unrealized
Profits exist only when converted to stablecoins or cash. $SOL might look amazing at current levels, but it's just numbers on a screen until you sell.

-Position sizing saves accounts
My system worked at $30K BTC and it works at $100K+. Changing rules during euphoria is how winning streaks end.

-Price moves first, stories follow
Notice how "institutional adoption" narratives exploded after the pump? The market tells you what happened, not what will happen.

The hardest part about ATHs isn't buying - it's knowing when to step back.

How are you managing risk at these levels?
