#BTC对标贵金属的竞争格局 Looking at the unrealized gains in my account, it sometimes feels really magical. I've made quite a bit of money, but there’s always a sense of illusion. Whether it's $ETH or $BTC , the green numbers on the market data are just a reflection. The real profit can only be confirmed at the moment it is realized.

This doesn't mean you should sell at a loss every day, but rather understand one principle: no matter how beautiful the numbers on your account are, if you haven't sold, they are not realized. If the market reverses, those beautiful numbers can instantly turn into losses.

So some experienced traders' methods are worth learning - take profits in batches, don't be greedy, and don't be afraid of missing out. With the green mountains left, one need not worry about firewood.

BTC-2,55%

ETH-3,87%

Exactly right, green numbers are indeed illusions. I've been trapped a few times to understand that. Really, unrealized gains on paper are completely different from actual gains received, and a black swan event can wipe it all out instantly. Gradual profit-taking is indeed reliable, but it's still easy to become greedy when executing. Who wants to sell when prices are rising? As a result, you get bitten back. Living this year is more important than earning more.

To be honest, looking at the rise in my account makes me want to go all in, but then I look again and it's all just paper wealth... In the end, I still have to rely on taking profits in batches to sleep soundly.

Indeed, unrealized gains look great, but when they fall, it breaks your heart. It's still better to lock in profits.

The numbers on the balance sheet are all deceptive; the real earnings are in that moment, understood.

Unrealized gains are like a mirage; how many people have to suffer losses to understand this? --- Taking profit in batches sounds easy, but many lose their cool when executing it. --- There’s a question: how much should you sell in batches to be reasonable? How much should you sell each time to avoid regrets? --- Honestly, the moment your account doubles is the most exciting, but then a dumping can wipe it all out—it's a bloody lesson. --- Crypto Veterans are Crypto Veterans; greed kills, and there's truth in that. --- Not being afraid of missing out can actually be more profitable; I buy that logic. --- Regretting selling too early, collapsing when selling too late—who can find that balance point accurately? --- Green numbers can be deceiving; only what's in your Wallet is real. --- That’s true, but when the real market comes, how many can hold on without being greedy?

Unrealized gains are all fake; I can deeply relate to this. Last time, my account showed a profit of more than 30 points, but then a black swan event brought it back to reality, and that feeling... Taking profit in batches is indeed the way to go, but very few people actually do it; I often get greedy myself.
