Those who exited at $74,050

While the entire market is discussing the new high of $74,050, there is a group of people quietly exiting.

They are not the bagholders who lost money, nor are they the gamblers who got margin called. On the contrary, they are the ones who made money—and quite a lot of it.

Old Zhou’s Story

Old Zhou started dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin at the end of 2023, with an average cost of about $35,000. Over more than two years, he experienced the fear of a 50% drawdown, the agony of sideways trading, and countless impulses to sell. But he endured it all.

On the day Bitcoin hit $74,050, he sold half of his holdings.

“Why?” his friend asked.

“Enough,” Old Zhou replied.

These two words are his explanation for sticking with it for over two years. He calculated that the half he sold has already covered his entire principal; the remaining half is pure profit, which he can hold or cash out at any time. He is now in an unbeatable position.

Xiao Lin’s Dilemma

Xiao Lin isn’t as calm as Old Zhou. She bought at $68,000, riding the wave up to $74,050, with an unrealized profit of nearly 10%. She should be happy, but instead she’s caught in a deep dilemma.

“Sell now, afraid it will keep rising; don’t sell, afraid it will fall back.”

This kind of dilemma is common among those who enter at relatively high levels. They don’t have Old Zhou’s “cost basis low” safety net, so every bit of unrealized profit is a risk accumulation.

In the end, Xiao Lin sold one-third and kept two-thirds. She said, “Selling part of it helps me sleep better, and keeping part gives me hope. That’s good enough.”

The Wisdom of Exiting

In a bull market, people love to talk about “who made the most money.” But true experts often think about “who survives the longest.”

The new high of $74,050 is a victory for the bulls and a nightmare for the bears. But for those who choose to exit at this point, it’s neither victory nor nightmare—just “enough.”

“Enough” is a form of wisdom. It means you clearly know what you want, that you’re not swayed by market emotions, and that you understand when to take profits. $BTC

There are always opportunities in the market, but the money in your account is your own. Those who exited at $74,050 may not become the most dazzling stars of this bull run, but they are likely to be the most composed people in the next bear market. #比特幣創下近一月内新高
