Well being forerunners in things leads to having to do certain reasoning, as an investor it is necessary to get out of certain patterns and recalibrate one's mind.
It happened to me in poker, there are people who, once they get to the prize areas, leave; looking at first place they say i lost 100k (an example could be more or less); in reality it doesn't work like this, if they had gone out before the prizes they would have lost something yes, but only the money invested potentially not what they could have earned.
Many look at Bitcoin and say damn I had 10 bitcoins and I sold them when it was worth 30 euros, I lost a lot of money... no, it doesn't work like that, but it's not easy for many to get out of these types of thoughts.
Certainly a couple of apartments could seem more easily monetized eh eh!
However, as you say, we will see what the future will say... it will surely say something😉
Potential earnings are not a loss - something that many people fail to realize. Holding the top isn't a loss, the tokens are still there and the next top might be even higher ;)
I agree and that's how I live it... go explain it to those who live in mediocrity, to those who think they can invest and earn money without getting informed, without preparing, without studying and without having a plan.
But after all, why should we explain it to him, right? heh heh!
