Sometimes the biggest regrets come from the decisions we don't make. Looking back at my $whitewhale position – if I'd held through this cycle, we're talking about a potential 3-4M valuation. That's the kind of capital that changes everything, the difference between continuing to grind and actually achieving financial independence.

But you know what? Props to everyone who rode this out and took the gains. Those who spotted the opportunity and capitalized – that's the move. It's a solid reminder that in crypto markets, timing and conviction matter just as much as picking the right assets. The ones who made money here understood the cycle.
