In the world of crypto investing, there’s one piece of advice every seasoned investor will tell you: “Take profit when you can.” It’s the golden rule of survival in markets that can turn from euphoric gains to devastating losses in the blink of an eye.
Here’s how it typically works:
You buy a cryptocurrency, watch it double or triple in value, and sell a portion—maybe half or even just a quarter. You recover your initial investment, make a tidy profit, and let the rest of your holdings “ride” indefinitely. This way, no matter what happens to the market, you’ve secured a win.
This strategy protects you from falling into the trap of being what investors call a “pig”—someone who never takes profit, holding onto everything because they believe prices will go even higher. Pigs eventually get slaughtered, or so the saying goes, when markets inevitably crash, wiping out all their gains and more.
But this time, things feel… different.
The Game Has Changed
Let’s talk Bitcoin. Historically, every time Bitcoin hit a new all-time high, it wasn’t long before we saw a dramatic correction—sometimes as much as 80%. But when Bitcoin hit $100,000 for the first time, the crash everyone was expecting? It didn’t come. Instead, Bitcoin has steadily climbed to new highs, with only minor pullbacks along the way.
The crypto market is buzzing with unprecedented activity:
ETFs are on the rise. With the first Bitcoin ETFs trading directly on stock markets, cryptocurrency is no longer just for the tech-savvy or the risk-hungry. ETFs allow everyday investors and massive institutions to get exposure to crypto without the hassle of actually owning it.
Regulation is creating stability. Under Trump’s presidency, not only has Bitcoin been purchased as a $1 trillion U.S. asset reserve, but the new SEC chair is laying the groundwork for institutional money to flood the market. Banks are preparing to roll out crypto-related products, and a Crypto Council has been formed to oversee these developments.
And it’s not just Bitcoin. Coins like Litecoin, Ethereum, and yes, even Trump Coin, are seeing unprecedented attention and liquidity.
This is why traditional advice to take profits now—when crypto markets are on the brink of a potential explosion—might just be horrible advice. Selling now could cost you more than you realize.
A $2,500 Profit Today vs. $50,000 Tomorrow
Consider this scenario:
You buy 10 Litecoin’s at $100 each. When the market booms, Litecoin climbs to $500. Selling half your stack nets you $2,500—a $1,500 profit, with 5 Litecoin’s left to hold. Sounds great, right?
But what happens if Litecoin goes to $1,000 in a year? Or $10,000 in five years? Those 5 Litecoin’s you sold could have been worth $50,000 or more.
Here’s the real question you need to ask yourself: How much does $2,500 truly change your life right now? It might be nice to have, but it’s not life-changing money. Meanwhile, holding onto your coins through what many believe is the beginning of a legendary “Moon Season” could yield generational wealth.
We’re on the Verge of Something Big
For years, crypto enthusiasts have whispered about a “Moon Season”—a period where the market surges to unimaginable highs. If the current trajectory is any indicator, we are closer than ever to realizing that prophecy.
Yet, despite all this evidence, many investors are still itching to sell. They want to play it safe. They want to take that “nice” profit and sleep better at night.
But here’s the thing…
