I fell asleep and missed a good trading opportunity.

Getting to the point. A few months ago, I invested $100,000 in the Broccoli project, with an average entry cost of 26m. My decision was mainly based on two factors: first, support from a major exchange's spot trading; second, the project team has a solid background. I didn't sell when it doubled, waiting for even better news. But instead of good news, I was hit with a theft scandal.

If I hadn't been asleep, I might have taken advantage of the chaos to buy some cheap chips. But I missed out on that. Now looking back, the market always has new surprises for you — but they’re not always good surprises.

Overslept and lost everything, this is the daily life of crypto, who hasn't experienced it Even doubling your investment, you're afraid to act... this mindset is still too greedy Being hacked is indeed unpredictable, can't blame anyone Waiting for good news, but bad news comes instead, that's the fate of social anxiety coins Next time set an alarm, buddy, opportunities only last a few seconds That's why I now use stop-loss orders, so I can sleep peacefully The dream of bottom-fishing with a counterattack is really sweet

Sleeping through the dip and missing the chance to buy the dip—this is just fate... Doubling down without selling is really gambler's thinking. What good news are you waiting for? What is the current cost of 26m? Can't say no. This is what they call the opportunity to make money—often while you're asleep, and it's gone when you wake up. Is the theft scandal actually an opportunity to get in? How come I didn't think of that? Waiting for good news or a theft incident—it's just so surreal. Doubling $100,000 and still wanting to wait more—how greedy can you be? The sleep time cost is a bit high, buddy.

Greed is really the biggest enemy. Not taking action even when doubling up and just waiting—that's the gambler's mentality. Sleep vs. profit, it's a classic case of putting the cart before the horse... But then again, who can predict theft or such incidents? I haven't invested in the Broccoli project, but I've seen this logic countless times... Exchange support + team background always sounds so reliable. Losing $100,000 after a sleep—I've got to remember this story. Honestly, the opportunity to buy chips at the bottom is more valuable than doubling, but unfortunately... the Sleep God is the most ruthless.

This is fate. You miss the opportunity to reverse your position just by sleeping, and waking up is the most despairing moment. Me too, every major fluctuation I spend in my dreams, only to find out upon waking that it's already a done deal. The most fragile time is when good news is expected; instead of doubling up, you get a爆雷, and this wave of broccoli is indeed a bit outrageous. Ten thousand dollars just disappeared, that's the crypto world for you, always reacting 0.1 seconds faster than you. I never even dreamed of reversing my position to buy the dip, so why not keep sleeping now? This wave of blood loss is definitely a loss, but the question is whether to lay low with another project for ten thousand dollars.
