After acquiring five bitcoins, I decided to stop here. Honestly, this decision took me a long time to make.

Why do I say that? Because every time I see the market fluctuate, I can't help but want to add more. But after these rounds of market trials, I realize that greed often leads to guilt. Instead of repeatedly chasing highs and selling lows, it's better to set a goal and stop.

Five bitcoins is already a significant commitment for me. From now on, let's just let them sleep in a cold wallet. When the price truly reaches my target or market signals become clear, I will consider the next move.

Actually, the biggest test isn't when you're making money, but having the courage to stop. FOMO is like a bottomless pit—you can always find a reason to add more. But this time, I am truly determined—drawing a line in the sand, once crossed, I will really stop. I hope I can stick to this promise.

I respect this mindset; it's much easier to say than to do. Relying on self-control is still the key to keeping a cold wallet asleep. FOMO is really a devil; no one can escape it. Having the discipline to hold five bitcoins is indeed not easy. We agreed not to add to our positions, but in the end, I still did. I understand too well. Stopping is a hundred times harder than making money, really.

Those who stop often earn the most steadily, I have deep experience with this. 5 BTC is not a small amount; the key is the mindset. Every time I want to buy more, I end up being caught at the bottom.

Well said, this is true enlightenment. Five Bitcoin sleeping cold wallets are much better than trembling and hesitating while watching the market. I am the negative example; I always say to stop but end up adding more, now I regret my initial greed. The phrase "drawing the door as the boundary" is brilliant; it really takes this kind of resolve. The true essence of HODL is learning to let go, and this is the hardest part.

If only I had been so determined back then, now it's too late to regret.
