I never underestimate our ability to make decisions to avoid feeling stupid, even if in hindsight they were stupid decisions to make.
It's the story we tell ourselves about ourselves. Personally, the ones that sting are when I cash out too soon. The whole; "I just had to do nothing" realisation really hits home. Had that with HUNT token. Dumped for $3k a few weeks before it went x5. It's doubled again from there, woulda been $30K if I just held.
Still, it's not like I bought a car with that $2k. It went straight into Splinterlands. The lesson is clear. The surest way to lose, is to move into fiat.
