Translating the previously saved market screenshots, I suddenly realized a painful truth — if I had been ruthless enough to sell back then, my life might have already changed.
So, I ended up saving a bunch of photos, but left nothing in my account. Looking at each screenshot, all I see is regret. The peak of the market, the moment Bitcoin skyrocketed, those "missed it, wait four more years" moments… I remember them all clearly. The only thing I forgot — when to close my eyes and sell.
Many people are like this, analyzing historical K-line charts convincingly. But when standing at the crossroads, their fingers just can't press the sell button. Greed, luck, fear of missing out… all kinds of reasons team up to persuade you to hold on. As a result, when the market suddenly turns down, those screenshots become the best lessons, constantly reminding you: trading has always been easy to understand but hard to execute.

Bro, this is heartbreaking. Screenshot shows zero in the account for thousands of transactions.
Greed really kills people. Why couldn't I just press the sell button back then?
Knowing what to do is easy, but doing it is hard, everyone. Talking about plans on paper is easy, but when it comes to the critical moment, legs turn weak.
Every time, I'm a post-mortem strategist. If I had known earlier, I would have achieved financial freedom long ago.
This is my trading career—a history of blood, tears, and lessons learned.

nah this is just classic exit liquidity theater tbh. everyone's got those screenshots, literally everyone. the math on "should've sold" doesn't actually work out though—like, let's examine the contract here: if everyone sold at peak, who's buying the bags? unsustainable model fr fr

Too many screenshots and my account is gone. That's my story, haha.
