Missed a Wave — Broccoli Trading Review

It's still a bit regretful to think about. A few months ago, I had $100,000 staked in broccoli, with a cost basis at 26m. The logic back then was simple: this was a project backed by a major exchange's spot trading and well-known figures, and I didn't even consider selling when it doubled, thinking there would eventually be good news to push the price higher.

And what happened? The good news never came, but instead, news broke that the project was hacked. Ironically, if I hadn't been asleep and missed this wave, I might have bought back at a low price by chance, turning a bad situation into a good one. But now, it's just a story to tell.

This experience also serves as a reminder — heavy betting and time management are really crucial in this market. Some opportunities do require holding, but you also need to be prepared for unexpected situations.

Missed the chance to buy at a low price while sleeping, haha. This luck is truly incredible.

Hmm, there's a bit of a problem with this logic — just because an exchange endorses it and a figure endorses it, you directly throw in 100,000? Data speaks for itself; the probability of these projects losing money has never been low. Sleeping instead of staying awake might have avoided a disaster, indicating that the market is actually telling you the opposite... This isn't good luck, it's a signal. The strategy of heavy investment is exactly this — if you bet right, you can boast for a year; if you bet wrong, you lose everything. One thing needs to be clarified — the so-called time management is really about having a stop-loss awareness, right?

just like mile 20 in a marathon, getting rugged while you're sleeping is just another wall to push through. the fundamentals didn't change, only your risk management did.

Avoidance born from sleeping too much is also a kind of fate, haha

This is the cost of greed. Doubling without moving, everyone would suffer losses. Missed out after just one sleep? Haha, sometimes lying flat is the best trading strategy. $100,000 can still be a story to tell, indicating a decent mindset, no collapse. Can you still touch projects that have been hacked? Truly bold. What’s the use of endorsements from well-known figures? If it’s going to explode, it will explode regardless. This time it’s purely a combination of greed and gambler’s mentality. Remember to set stop-losses next time. Basically, it’s about not managing risk. Heavy positions are inherently a trap.
