At what point did you stop trading and just start holding?
Basically, I got into crypto a couple of years ago. Did the whole circus — leverage, memecoins, one really bad Solana rotation. Hit 4x at one point and gave most of it back trying to time the next leg.
What broke me was 3 months ago. It wasn't a big loss. I was at a friend's birthday dinner and realized I'd checked my phone like 40 times. My girlfriend gave me this look and something clicked.
Started pulling back. Unfollowed most of the trading accounts on X, deleted my exchange app, moved my stack somewhere it could just sit and earn (Nexo for me, but there are other options). Forgot about it for weeks.
Portfolio's doing better than when I was "actively managing" it. Turns out I was managing my dopamine, not my money lol.
So when did it click for you that doing less = making more? Specific loss? Burnout? Relationship thing? I want to hear the stories.
