Unfortunately, many panicked investors I talk to and want to help don’t understand this…



When I say swap or offer an idea:

They say, “I can’t sell here when I have such a loss.”

Let me explain step by step with an example:

Let’s say you bought an altcoin at $4 and now the price is $1.40. That’s a 65% drop.

Holding an altcoin that’s fallen and, especially, not showing any fundamental signs of recovery, with a sluggish team, basically locks your capital into a dead project.

If there’s no more hope in the project, the longer you wait, the higher your opportunity and time cost grows.

At this point, the most logical move is to switch your loss into a strong asset you can hold.

For example, $ETC has seen $40 in the past and is now at $14.
That’s also about a 65% drop.

But ETC is a coin that has historically proven its ability to recover and rally in every cycle.

The math here is very simple:

If you sell an altcoin that dropped 65% from $4 to $1.40, and buy ETC, which also dropped 65%, at $14, you’re basically positioning yourself as if you bought ETC at $40 in the first place.

When ETC returns to $40, theoretically, your loss is completely erased.
Anything above $40 is profit territory.

Instead of waiting in a weak project, positioning yourself at the bottom in a strong project is the most logical way to quickly recover losses.

This is not a sale, it’s capital rotation.
It’s about moving from something worthless to something strong and sustainable long-term, to recover losses and save time.

The most critical point here is that the altcoin you’re selling truly shows no fundamental signs of a turnaround. And the altcoin you’re buying is historically at its bottom and hasn’t experienced its bull run yet.

Instead of waiting for years in a project with no hope of recovery, hoping for a 3x or 4x dead cat bounce to recover your principal, an asset like ETC, which has at least 3x or 4x potential in the upcoming bull phase, can get you out of this scenario much faster and even provide significant profit.

And your mental state will be much more at ease.

In the tweet I pinned, I shared a list of former institutional altcoins I expect to rise at least 10x potentially.

But if the project you sold suddenly pumps with a final dead cat bounce, that risk is entirely yours.

I just wanted to prepare this content so you have a long-term, institutionally-based recovery plan.

If a 3x, 4x, or 5x return is enough to save you, and your psychology can’t handle this market anymore, you can make these moves and wait in safer, institutional harbors.

I hope I’ve explained the logic clearly.

You’re such an idiot, still recommending others to buy ETC. Buying ETC is just waiting for death. The bear market is here, it will definitely get delisted.
