In early 2025, I initiated a cryptocurrency deployment on a leading exchange. At that time, the price of PORT was at a clear cyclical low. After carefully analyzing the fundamentals and technicals, I judged that there was indeed considerable room for further upward movement, so I decisively established a position. The fact proved me right—PORT soon experienced a strong surge, and the market moved quite aggressively. I managed to sell at the high point in time, successfully realizing a fairly substantial profit, and the entire trading logic played out perfectly.

But to be honest, I still feel a bit of regret. Initially, out of risk considerations, I only dared to buy a relatively small position. Watching PORT continue to soar during that period, with the market becoming increasingly fierce, I couldn’t help but think—if I had been a bit more daring back then and increased my position size, this wave of gains could have doubled. This is also a common psychological issue in trading—greed and regret often follow us like shadows.

Haha, this is what happens when greed takes over. --- Taking profits in time is also good, much better than being trapped. --- Identify people at low levels, sell at high levels, a complete logic that should bring contentment. --- Ultimately, it's about mindset. Making a profit is a profit, don't fight yourself. --- PORT this wave was indeed fierce, but daring to deploy at low levels already means you've won half the battle. --- Always aiming to double your gains, that’s how you go crazy haha. --- Regret now is useless; next time, remember this lesson if you get another chance. --- The eternal contradiction between risk control and greed. --- Actually, ask yourself, if you haven't sold at a high point after increasing your position, that would be truly regrettable. --- Is there still a chance for PORT? Ask everyone.

Making money and still regretting, I totally understand this mindset haha --- But to be fair, having a smaller position actually lasts longer --- I was also involved in that PORT wave, just didn't dare to bottom fish, now I can only watch others hype --- Greed is a killer, so many people lost everything trying to double their money --- Selling at the high point to take profit is already a win, don't think about those illusions --- Honestly, if I had added to my position, I might have been wiped out somewhere along the way --- I used to think the same, that I was just lucky when I seemed to have the right insight --- Sometimes just surviving is already a victory, why bother overthinking?

This is a typical case of wanting to make more profit after already earning, the cost of greed. --- Honestly, small positions to eat some gains are always better than full positions exploding. --- It's the same old story, when you make money you regret not magnifying the gains; when you lose money, why don't you have the courage then? --- PORT's recent wave was indeed fierce, but are you sure you can always hold the high points? Easy to say. --- Talking about mentality sounds nice, but it's really greed. --- Serves you right, who told you to be timid? Missing out is just missing out. --- That's why most people always lose—they're never satisfied, brother. --- Being able to walk away intact is good enough; don't think too much.

Still regretting after making a profit, this is the common problem among crypto people. --- Holding onto the high points is already good, how many people have lost everything? --- Blame it on being too conservative with positions, next time go all in directly? LOL --- That wave of PORT was indeed fierce, but you know how greedy people end up. --- A typical survivor bias: making money and still wanting more. --- The bold ones have already been liquidated; as long as you're alive, you've won, friends. --- This is called being content and happy; many people don't even get the chance to make a profit. --- Doubling? Want a tenfold increase to feel better, right? --- Small positions tend to last longer, honestly.

This is the ceiling of making money, always feeling that your position is not big enough. --- Alright, at least I didn't get caught at the top, which is better than most people. --- I understand this feeling, earning money but still mentally fighting. --- The key is not to be greedy and get caught off guard; this wave of PORT also has a lot of luck involved. --- Having a small position also has its advantages; the psychological pressure isn't as great. --- The real question is how to judge next time when to add to your position and when to stay cautious. --- That wave of PORT was indeed fierce, but looking back, many people FOMOed in and got hammered. --- Making a profit is winning; don't fight yourself, buddy. --- Greed is something that can't be changed, always the pain point in a trading career. --- Taking profits in time has already surpassed 80% of people; don't be too hard on yourself.

This is a typical case of "wanting to earn more after making a profit." Based on my analysis, this illness is hard to cure. Regretting small positions... to put it plainly, it's just greed in disguise. When you initially get in stably, you should be content. On-chain data shows that most people die in this kind of mindset, ultimately chasing highs and getting caught. But to be fair, at least you have the courage to deploy at low levels, which is much better than blindly chasing rallies. The recent turnaround in the PORT market trend has been quite fierce, but greed and regret are often two sides of the same coin.
