Why do I suck at crypto trading so bad?

This is an honest question and comments are greatly appreciated...

![2021-01-21.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmenGNU8jWuJrXZUJdmnfJBiYeAh5v8dKmsrpq7Y7PNFRy/2021-01-21.jpg)

Seriously just purchased and powered up $1000 worth of Hive to come on here to complain about the gains I just lost out on regarding the token for https://sandbox.game

Which is now up 147% as of writing this and 15% at the time of me selling it.

![The-Sandbox-price-today-SAND-marketcap-chart-and-info-CoinMarketCap.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdJrRrES4yQKuYCezU2w3vDTmuYMk1ftnhZCyvvhid1bQ/The-Sandbox-price-today-SAND-marketcap-chart-and-info-CoinMarketCap.png)

This was a project I was very excited about and told a lot of people to join.

Had a ton of sand tokens and still have the one plot of land.

It is a cool game with a cool concept and some usable tech, had no hesitations investing.

The reason I sold was just general doubt in the overall market and high fees when trading game assets on ethereum.

Went ahead an invested back in eosio based on some vague tweet by block.one

![block-one-on-Twitter-https-t-co-LgcclYjBIb-has-begun-the-process-to-transfer-20-2-million-EOS-tokens-from-b1-and-sub1-b1-to-a-new-subsidiary-controlled-account-titled-Bullish-Twitter.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUf3jMpegMSUUCY9ZEkRFs3G4cNdtVNFcE7Si19LBeBwS/block-one-on-Twitter-https-t-co-LgcclYjBIb-has-begun-the-process-to-transfer-20-2-million-EOS-tokens-from-b1-and-sub1-b1-to-a-new-subsidiary-controlled-account-titled-Bullish-Twitter.png)

I am a huge fan of tech which got me in to crypto to begin with but the market dynamics are killing the dream for me a lot.

Hoping to find a healthy balance somehow appreciating what I have versus feeling like missing out.

Buying back in to sand tokens now is certainly not happening and am just going to take that as a loss.

The eosio purchase is now down 6% and falling...

At a point of just wondering what life even is, experts chime in and give me some direction and optimism.

I was able to find a token and own some before the pump however just sold too early.

Is it just an issue of weak hands or poorly defined goals?

Is the point of crypto to honestly never sell?

How do I win at life?

Yeah I have no idea what you're talking about cuz I've never made a poor decision trading, ever, and everything I trade gains. Never red, never ever, no idea what you're talking about.

All true too, *totally.* I'm honest with my taxes, never cross the street without a pair of white lines, and drive the speed limit too.

Crazy right?? I've never misplaced a decimal and paid way too much for a coin or anything, either, and then was forced to buy even more cuz I couldn't *give away* the quantity I had. Nope! Not me.. never, no way.

All bullshit aside, whoever's actually reading this, listen to your wife! Man if I could just do that. Every time she's wanted to sell off and I didn't I should've—it's a cycle.

Lol sorry about your experience but its a bit funny. After Dan Larimer resigned from Eos, the market sentiment became very bearish, maybe if you had paid enough attention, you could have seen that. 

But for Sandbox, honestly sometimes there's just no knowing....selling at the wrong time is a constant event for almost everyone here, I mean, you could have held and something would have happened and you might have lost more,.... ....best thing to do is shake it off, have a drink or two and carry on like its a normal day. Go find the next token with the potential to make you back the profit you lost.

Thanks! this is exactly what I need...

I knew the suffering of others would help. 

I am honestly up overall in the crypto game which is saying a lot compared to the majority of folks. 

Has also given some chances to achieve some things in real life that would have not been possible otherwise. 

Was hoping to get a laugh also as that is the best way to deal with debilitating trauma. 

Still a believer in EOS and after this experience going to just carry that bag to the grave. 

For some reason I feel like Dan leaving might shake things up and allow for a direction shift to making some money versus trying to save the world or some better balance of both. 

Any ideas on the next token? 

Just got a big ol bag of HIVE today...

Nice to know, glad to hear that.

Works for me all the time, ofcourse thats after few moments of sulking lol.. 

>Still a believer in EOS and after this experience going to just carry that bag to the grave.

I have the same sentiment with Hive. As far as EOS is concerned, I know it is a superior technology, as long as they get their marketing and on boarding right, then it has a huge potential. 

Welcome to Hive FAM, hive will test your patience lol, get ready for the long ride. 

Well, ive been reading a lot about Rune tokens from Thorchain, it is quite common among the top Leo holders here. Ofcourse im guessing you've got your Leo bag up, thats my best bag at the moment,then ive been watching these DRC tokens, seems its got a nice potential, you can read about it here....

Then ofcourse BNB tokens....
