Sometimes the hardest decision isn't buying—it's knowing when to cut your losses. If a coin's fundamentals are broken and the recovery odds look basically impossible, holding on isn't diamond hands, it's just denial. There's real wisdom in redirecting capital elsewhere rather than watching it bleed to zero. Sure, timing a perfect exit sucks, but salvaging what's left to chase better opportunities beats getting wiped out on something that won't bounce back.

Honestly, stopping losses is really much harder than bottom fishing... Recognizing reality is sometimes smarter than stubbornly holding on.

Someone should have said it earlier: clinging tightly and refusing to let go is really just self-deception.

Laughing and then crying, this is my stop-loss story. --- Holding onto trash coins waiting for a rebound, is that called diamond hands or self-deception? Think about it. --- Crypto King says: Instead of dying with trash coins, better to turn around and find the next gold mine. --- Data speaks, projects with longer lifespans should have been cut early. Don't wait until the funds flow turns into blood. --- Three months ago I also said this, now my wallet is empty. The first rule of the leek's self-rescue guide is to admit defeat. --- Perfect stop-loss is easy to say, but when it comes to doing it, everything goes black. --- It may seem like discouragement, but actually it's advising you not to become the next me.

It sounds a bit heartbreaking, but it's the truth. Cutting losses really isn't that shameful. --- Holding onto Shabi and hoping for a miracle—that's just being foolish. --- The key is when to admit defeat. I always seem to be a step late. --- Instead of waiting for everything to go to zero, why not bet on the next one? --- It's easy to say, but no one can actually do it when it comes to execution. --- Diamond hands and denial are just one limit down away. --- The money that was moved out really does feel good. --- The hardest part is never cutting losses, but the moment of admitting defeat. --- I feel like once I've cut once, I feel liberated; next time, I’ll be more decisive. --- That's true, but I never actually do it, haha. --- Broken fundamentals should be dealt with decisively; don't deceive yourself. --- How many people have held on stubbornly to trash coins? So sad. --- Knowing when to cut losses is easy to understand but hard to practice.
