Dear $MOODENG, I owe you an apology. I bought you when the Moo Deng meme was everywhere. A baby hippo from a Thai zoo had somehow become the most important thing on my timeline, and I told myself I was “early.” I wasn’t early. I was just fast enough to buy before I got scared. You went 2x and I sold. Not because my thesis changed. Not because I found better information. I sold because I had already made money, and my brain whispered the same lie it always whispers: “Take profit. Don’t be greedy.” So I did. Then you kept going. I watched the chart like someone watching an old friend move away and become successful without them. Every green candle felt personal. I kept refreshing, telling myself, “It’s fine, I made profit.” But profit and regret are not the same thing. $MOODENG eventually ran from those early levels to an all-time high around $0.68 in November 2024. From my exit, it was closer to 100x than 2x. The worst part? I did not lose money. I made money. And somehow that made it hurt more. Because I knew the setup. I knew the narrative. I knew the community was real, the meme was global, and the attention had not disappeared. But I treated a live story like a quick trade. It was like leaving a party early because you got one free drink, then seeing photos the next morning of everyone still there, dancing, while the DJ finally played your favorite song. I learned something simple that night: A 2x is not always a signal to leave. Sometimes it is proof that you were right. The mistake was not taking profit. Taking profit is healthy. The mistake was letting a small win make the decision for me instead of asking one better question: “Has the reason I bought actually changed?” If the answer is no, I do not need to sell everything just because the chart is green. I still take profits. I still protect my downside. But now I split exits instead of treating every gain like it is the last bus home. To anyone sitting on a position that is up 2x and feeling that itch to sell everything: do not confuse discipline with fear. Take some profit if that helps you sleep. But do not sell your entire conviction just because the market finally agreed with you. Sometimes the real test is not whether you can buy early. It is whether you can stay present after being right. @RallyOnChain
