In mid-2017, I entered a certain leading platform token at $10,000, when the price was only around $0.15. If I had held it all the way until now, my account would have already expanded to a scale of $50 million.
It sounds easy and carefree, as if you just need to lie flat and do nothing to enjoy the results. But once you pull out the K-line chart and compare it to the timeline, you will completely understand how crazy this process is—
The initial 10000 quickly soared to 1.6 million (the wild growth in the opening phase) → plummeted back to 300000 (the torment of a long bear market) → rebounded to 2.6 million (a brief spring during the IEO wave) → dropped again to 400000 (the black swan event in March, the account almost lost everything) → violently counterattacked to 46 million (the fierce surge during the BSC ecosystem explosion) → halved to 12 million (pressure from deep adjustments) → fluctuated to 14 million (with continuous risk events in between) → ultimately reaching 50 million.
Every turning point is a test of life and death. Especially during those nights when there seems to be no bottom left to fall, or when industry headlines are constantly breaking negative news, and the entire trading community is shouting "the platform is going to collapse" —
Can you really still hold on? That's the hardest question.

Basically, it's a form of psychological torment. Seeing the numbers feels satisfying, but after going through a 400,000 cycle, most of the people are gone.

Seeing the 400,000 mark, I was immediately overwhelmed; how strong must one's mental resilience be to keep holding on?

Basically, it's a game of mental resilience. The moment you load your supplies is the true test of human nature.
That night with 400,000 probably made you feel like you wanted to die, but you stubbornly held on until 46 million and finally understood what it means to turn a desperate situation around.
The real launch isn't about the price going up, but whether you can resist pressing the sell button when the booster fails.
This is the ultimate test of to the moon—dopamine can't even save your trembling hands.

To put it bluntly, it's a gambling mentality. I doubt that anyone can really endure the despair of that wave of 400,000.

To put it simply, it's a matter of mental construction; no matter how big the number is, it's useless.

I guess I have to cut my position directly at the 400,000 mark; who can hold on?
---
That's why most people can't even wait until 50 million; they'll capitulate during some big dump in between.
---
This is why I set stop losses now; I won't play naked anymore.

Got it, the key is whether there are reserves to continue with Auto-Invest during a bear market.
---
It sounds simple, but when it comes to the moment of being rekt by 400,000, who can stay calm?
---
I no longer believe in platform tokens; I'm now looking at actual applications.
---
Wait, if the same coins have skyrocketed by 2024, why is no one doing this?
---
I'm particularly curious if those who persist to the end truly have faith or just forgot to log in to their accounts.

50 million sounds like a lot; maybe at this moment, they've cleared everything again.

To be honest, I was completely caught off guard by the wave of 400,000, I couldn't hold on at all.
Really, telling stories is easy, enduring it is hell.
This is the difference between gamblers and winners, psychological resilience is off the charts.
I would have definitely sold at a loss long ago, this operation belongs to the lucky ones who can't replicate it.
It sounds great to hear 50 million, but those 99% have already Rug Pulled.

I directly went all in at 400,000, and I really almost couldn't recover, luckily I didn't sell.
To be honest, those who can stick it out until the end have top-notch mental strength.
I just want to ask, how many people can really avoid cutting losses when it hits 400,000? Anyway, I don't have that kind of self-control.
That's why the rich get richer, while the poor are still buying the dip.
