If you were holding 100,000 ETH, you’d definitely hold on if it just kept going up. But in reality, this is how those 100,000 ETH fluctuated: $10K → $1M → $14M → $390K → $30M → $1.2M → $93M → $5.3M → $323M → $54M → $200M Now ask yourself again, could you really hold on? Where would you have cashed out? I once had 80,000 ETH. Lost it all at the $390K point, completely wiped out. After that, I could never afford to buy that much ETH again.
