Don't be too greed for more gains....

[Chipard]

I want to share my experience as a newbie in crypto....I started my crypto journey in 2021, and that year is very bullish as a starter which I could gain almost $6,000 or more if only I wasn't to greed for believing it will go more higher... those  gains are almost from NFTs (games and airdropped), I didn't take profit even it reached ATH until it fall to the hell lol and some are turning to rugged tokens . Im too late to asked for advice here in forum ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5388154.0 ) and now its too late that I took my profit which is less than half lol.... my advice to newbies in crypto here is always take profit don't regret if it goes up, don't be too greed. stay connected here in forum for advices.

Nice advice and your experience is worth learning from, in addition to what you gave, i will like to chip in that after taking off the profit, your mistake was that you could have use it investing on Bitcoin although i understand how eager one could be in spending the realised profits but investing on bitcoin could have been a better option even as the tokens and airdrops goes dip, the interest you took from them could have serve you better alternative and  opportunities.

NFTs have high price due to hype, similar as ICO IDO IEO and not like Bitcoin for long term. It's true when you have shitcoins, don't be greedy to think it will reach x price, more over if you believe/heard for long term. This is different with Bitcoin, you don't need to worry if Bitcoin goes dump for few days, surely it will recover and remain back to the previous price. I know it's still have a risk, but I'm trust in Bitcoin as it's the best cryptocurrency.

Don't buy when people are in FOMO but but when everyone is at fear this is common things we need to learn as we deal up with crypto and normally all falls down after a pump comes on it. But treat it as good experience to learn since by next time you know how to handle the risk especially when dealing up with those NFT games and better for those category to invest only if they are new or on their IDO,pre-sale or whatever wordings they use and don't chase them up if they are in ATH because you might get suffer from huge dump. Just treat those ATH you see as a late stage to invest and move on to other NFT and try your luck again.

All the phrases I have described are good but emotional and difficult to define.

It seems that you traded without a trading strategy and therefore you have made losses, building a strategy requires dealing with numbers and analyzing the market situation and thus you can know phrases such as greed, profit taking, goes up, regret buying/selling.

gains are almost from NFTs (games and airdropped),

NFT is a trend and therefore will lose its value over time, almost all altcoins fail to maintain their value in the long run.

Greed will give us nothing but prevent us from taking advantage of what is in front of us. Many people have experienced this, and we should not be like them and can always restrain ourselves from being greedy and taking advantage when the time is right. If you have regrets about your experience, you don't need to repeat it because you will not get the benefits you want.

Try always to take advantage if the price can go up two or three times to enjoy that profit, and you can also buy the coin or token later if the price drops again. If you can do that, you will always be able to take advantage at the right time.

Their is no gain in being too greedy, thinking of earning more can end up losing all we have gained. We should learn to be satisfied and appreciate  every little profit that comes our way, we should not be too desperate to make all the profit at once, the market is always available to bring profit at any given time. It is better to take profit no matter how small it is than to loose it all because of greed.

Being greedy is never a good thing when it comes to investing and even in trading. That will stop you from seizing all the opportunities that is coming in your way. Always take time to sell and make profits if you see positive chances no matter how small it is. Being contented will help you to overcome your greed and you will start to chase every opportunities that have signs of profit making. As long as your not seeing yourself losing, that's a good sign that you are still profitable even with small amount of profits.

Greediness is somewhat hard to control especially if you are living it. Of course, you can easily just think we can but the moment has come, when the price spikes, we just even think there is more. We commonly just say "don't be greedy" but in most cases, "we then just fail to follow".
Don't be greedy? unless if we don't need money.

As being an investor, we certainly live with this, we want more and that is why we risk more. For me, it wasn't bad for as long as you know how to manage it.

[dataispower]

Actually in cryptocurrency investment the only thing that affect investors is the ability of monitoring their Profit and loses, some people really know when their are at lost but because of greediness they fall back to the zero that can affect their capitals, the best way of investment is not being greedy into investment, at least any profit you make at particular time you cash it out until it get to equivalent to your capital, after your capital is up to round some, you can leave investment for so long

This is actually quite common for newbies and we have all been in that situation. I was the same and it took me a while to "adapt" to the market but the important thing is that you don't panic! Take profits when you're close to the top and not when the pump is at its end. (try to sell before any price target is reached).

Greed is nothing but a selfish desire one has to avoid. Because it can only lead us to losses. But if we can stay away from being greedy, we will start to acknowledge every single opportunity that comes. And making profits regardless of the amount is one thing that we should start doing than to wait for a higher price and yet, end up still losing. The only important thing in crypto investment is know when to buy and sell, that way you will never be facing huge losses at the end of the day.

Mistakes can be a very good experiences. And experience is the best teacher for us.
We have been talking so many times right here about what to do and what not to do. And greediness is one of the things that we must not put and must avoid in the crypto world. We don't need something super high enough by expecting the skyrocketing more and more even it has been reaching our target. Once you are falling down to the greediness, you may end up your life. Greedy will not be good at all, even at certain things that relate to picking new coins. Greedy is one of the most difficult thing to handel, but we must be able to handle it.Set a good target in order to avoid the greediness come into us

Experience is definitely the best teacher. No matter how much we advocate HODLing, until we are in that kind of situation, we will never personally feel the need and to learn from our mistakes if we did not stumble during your journey.

What happened to you OP was very unfortunate but that will serve as your backbone and foundation in investing again. Greediness can absolutely destroy your investments especially if you cashed out in a different time. While being greedy is not wrong perse, it is still better to create at least a contingency plan on how much price you are willing to stoop down before you cash them out or sell next time.

Yes, that's correct. That is why we really need to control that greed that can prevent us from withdrawing the profits we have seen. Without controlling greed, we will surely be too late to react, which will result in the loss of profits that we should be able to get. We have seen how many people do not control themselves when they see the price go very high and do not close the trade immediately but want to get higher profits. Maybe it's not wrong, but we have to see the situation and conditions first so that we are not too late to decide.

[Doan9269]

The truth remains that we all in one way or the other exhibit this greediness attitude of a thing knowingly or unknowingly to us, why is because human needs are insatiable and we all tend to use force on things that are meant to occur naturally, what makes many loose the entire profit to loss lies in doing things without caution, that's why too much of everything is said to be bad.

[examplens]

I would change the subject of this topic to "Don't be too greedy for more gains, sold shit coins/tokens/nft, the end will come suddenly and will end quickly"
the most frequent scenario in most cases is when we talk about tokens without real support.
waiting for even better value is a way of thinking that is ok for all long term holders, but it is done with major coins. certainly not for tokens without special use value, nor most NFTs. Especially not something that is so easily given out, airdroped to random people.

[pakhitheboss]

NFT hype is slowly going down and in the coming days, the tokens related to those projects might well not be heard anymore as they won't have any value. If you had invested your time in acquiring Bitcoin then your greed would have been justified here. Anyways greed does cause a lot of problems such as scammers are always on the hunt of finding people who are greedy.

[Ahli38]

your experience is exactly like mine. I also lost half of the profits I should have earned due to my greed and belief that the project I was involved in would continue. but it turned out that the project had no improvement and was monotonous even the investors ran out and sold the tokens. so the price drops drastically.

but from that experience I realized that investing in crypto or in tokens or coins whose fundamentals are weak should not be for the long term. enough to just make a profit and go.
and put away greed with all false hopes. because it can be devastating.

[Asiska02]

Nice, thanks for this advice. This also happened to someone I know that lost almost everything because of greed and wanting the price of the coins (altcoins) he had then to pump up. He lost about 70% of $5000 over a night. He still sees that as a nightmare till date. We learnt from that mistake he did then, we felt sorry for him but he just had to let go and face the market more as he had understood and learnt his lessons. That was really an eye opener for us all.
