BEAT this wave of decline is indeed heartbreaking. Watching the account turn red and messy, many people are struggling with one question — should I cut my losses now or hold on and wait for a rebound?

Honestly, this is the toughest test of mentality. Some have already sold out, while others are still holding on stubbornly. How much loss is enough to cut? There’s no standard answer.

The key is to ask yourself a few questions: Why did you buy BEAT in the first place? Is the current fundamental of this coin still worth holding? Or are you simply betting on a rebound? If it’s the former, the short-term decline might not be a big deal; if it’s the latter, then continuing to pour money in starts to look like gambling.

The hardest part of stop-loss isn’t the decision itself, but admitting the loss. Many times, we don’t lose to the market, but to psychological expectations. Instead of wavering in agony, it’s better to understand your risk tolerance and develop a clear exit plan.

Cut when you need to, don’t be trapped by sunk costs. There will always be another opportunity in the market.

It's just a matter of psychological readiness; recognizing it early is better than anything else. Taking a loss is indeed painful, but it's probably more painful than watching your account bleed continuously. If it drops, it drops. There's no need to wait for a rebound to save yourself. Sometimes admitting defeat is the most rational choice. By the way, what exactly are the fundamentals of BEAT? Or is it just pure stubbornness? Sunk cost fallacy is real, and too many people are trapped by it. Instead of repeatedly messing around, it's better to make a decision—cut losses when needed, and keep the green mountains. There will definitely be more opportunities next time; why cling to this one?

Basically, it's a psychological game—whoever backs down first loses, right? --- I'm convinced about the sunk cost part; indeed, many people are just stubborn and unwilling to admit losses. --- I've already run away, what's the point of holding onto this little bit of hard-earned money? It's better to wait for the next wave. --- Are there fundamentals? Anyway, I haven't seen any, haha. --- The hardest part in times like this is watching others cut losses while you're still debating whether to follow.

I ran away long ago, and seeing people still holding on tightly, I can imagine how much psychological pressure they are under. --- Basically, it's the gambler's mentality at play—whether to cut or not to cut. In fact, I’ve known the answer in my heart all along. --- Losses are indeed painful, but what’s even more uncomfortable than being trapped is the feeling of not wanting to give up. --- Sunk cost fallacy is real, but when it happens to yourself, you still end up fooling yourself—everyone is the same. --- The real issue is: what are the fundamentals like? Can someone give a reliable analysis? Don’t just shout about a rebound. --- Losing your mindset is the real disaster—worse than being trapped. --- Wavering back and forth is just tormenting yourself. Might as well stop watching the market. --- Next opportunity? Let’s survive this wave first. --- Has anyone truly succeeded in rebounding because of solid fundamentals? Please share a case. --- Having cut losses so many times, my understanding of stop-loss has changed now.

Oh no, it's the same old story. It sounds nice, but in reality, who isn't a gambler at heart? The so-called fundamentals, when they fall, there's no room for negotiation. I've been numb to it for a long time. Really, stop-loss is just a psychological game. Ultimately, it's about betting on your own mindset. Selling at a loss makes you feel guilty; not selling makes you sleep poorly. Both choices are wrong. The next opportunity? Haha, everyone says this is the next opportunity, but what’s the result?

Honestly, it's really uncomfortable to cut losses now, but isn't it even more painful than constantly watching the account go into the red... I really don't understand those who keep holding on and only feel satisfied when they get margin called? Sunk costs are just a trap; once you're in, you can't get out. Instead of worrying about whether to cut or not, better ask yourself how you got caught as a leek in the first place, haha. I wish I hadn't listened to those words like "fundamentals are fine" now. A rebound? What kind of rebound? I really don't see any hope in this wave. Stop-loss is admitting defeat, but only by admitting defeat can you leave the gambling table alive. Sometimes, running fast is the key to winning, but unfortunately, I'm always the slowest one. Is it really that hard to admit a loss? Truly...
