The Art Of Taking Crypto Profit Without Screwing Up The Entire Trade.

It's as much a game of stopping self destructive behaviour as it is getting in the right assets.

I know this story better than most.

Just because you screenshotted your gains doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. You’ve come too far to mess up the whole trade now.

I remember sitting in that fishbowl of an office—where dreams went to die—getting pinged nonstop with OpenSea notifications. People were throwing 60 ETH offers at me for a single NFT.

I got sucked into the "up only" mindset. Told myself it was smart to go harder. Worked even longer hours just to fund my JPEG addiction.

But clarity only really comes through pain.

And we’ve just lived through the longest, most brutal bear market in crypto history—one kicked off by pandemic stimulus and capped with record inflation.

That pain looks like it's finally easing.

I’ve made every mistake in the book:
— Took out leveraged loans on NFTs
— Jumped between narratives when I was already in profit
— Round-tripped my whole portfolio because I believed “this is the exponential age”

Turns out, this stuff takes longer to play out than people want to admit.

What fascinates me are the extremes.

Some folks are still so traumatised by the last cycle they don't believe they deserve another shot.

Others are ready to remortgage their house to max out their Bitcoin position.

But the truth? The answer’s probably somewhere in the middle.

Especially when it comes to taking profits.

You don’t need to be a hero.

You just need to avoid being the person who guessed wrong and gave it all back.
