🚹 I Lost $50,000 by “HODLing” — and It Still Hurts. 😞

Please don’t make the same mistake I did.

Back in 2016, I bought $XRP at $0.15.

It felt like a genius move when it pumped to nearly $2 in 2017.

My $4K turned into over $50K in a few months.

Life-changing for me at the time.

But guess what I did?

NOTHING.

No selling. No exit plan. Just pure hopium.

👉 “HODL!”

👉 “Diamond hands!”

👉 “This is just the beginning!”

I believed it all.

I thought the gains would keep coming.

Then
 crash. đŸ’„

I watched my $50K melt away, day by day.

No stop loss. No partial exit. Just watching in silence.

All I had left was regret.

💡 What did I learn?

✅ Profit isn't profit until you lock it in.

✅ Having a plan beats riding hype.

✅ You can be early AND wrong if you don’t exit right.

If you’ve never seen your money vanish in slow motion, trust me — it leaves a mark.

Set targets. Take some off the table.

Don’t wait for the perfect top — it rarely comes.

🎯 You don’t need diamond hands.

You need disciplined hands.
