Inside the $330M BTC Scam: Why XMR Was the Final Destination
6 days ago, on-chain sleuth and investigator ZachXBT reported the theft of $330M worth of Bitcoin, an amount that was then....

The $LIBRA Fiasco and Solana’s FUD - My Take.
Solana is getting a lot of FUD right now because of the $Libra fiasco, and that’s understandable. But as Zach said, it's not the chain's fault - scammers simply flock to where the activity is. That said, I also believe the influencers pushing these scams.....

I remember when I sold a token, watched the price rise shortly after, and told myself, “If only I had waited a little longer, I could have made more.”
Another time, I held onto a drop for too long, convinced it would keep climbing.
Instead, it retraced, and I walked away with less than I could have made.
These and other experiences have made me realize something:
No one can perfectly time the top.
Not even the best traders.
You might sell an NFT for $700, only to see it at $1,000 20mins later.
And in that moment, it’s easy to think, “I should have held.”
But what if you had?
What if instead of climbing, it had dropped to $500 - or worse?
That’s the thing about markets.
We only regret selling when the price goes up.
But if it crashes, we’re grateful we got out.
My point?
The next time you take profits and the price pumps after, don’t dwell on it and beat yourself up.
Cause there’s always another opportunity.
(Look at those who missed $HYPE but got $NIL & $WAL)
Always another trade.
So take your profits when it feels right and be okay with it.
(if you decide to hold longer next time, you might end up regretting that too)
P.S. While writing this, I was reminded of how we often joke about people "paper-handing" their NFTs or Tokens.
We say that only because the price went 5x or 10x afterward.
But what if it had dumped 90% instead?
Then we’d be saying: “Glad I wasn’t that person.”

I don't know about you, but there have been a couple of times when I beat myself up for taking profit on a token that pumped afterward. I wrote a bit about what these experiences have made me realize. 👇 /firstdraft https://paragraph.xyz/@infrafijournal/no-one-can-perfectly-time-the-top,-so
