Nobody talks about the real holding cycle. Buy the dip. It dips further. Rebrand as a long-term believer. Wear the drawdown like armor. Turn down life-changing profit because "it’s going higher." Market turns. Watch paper gains evaporate in real time. Refuse to sell at break-even out of spite. Become an unpaid community manager in Discord. Sell at the literal bottom just to stop looking at the red candles. Watch it reverse thirty seconds later. The only exit is taking profit before your thesis turns into a coping mechanism.(Lark Davis)
