RE: Why hesitate to take profit?

You’re right, intishar: trading without a plan is just gambling with extra buttons. The dangerous part is that crypto makes randomness feel like skill because one lucky trade can convince someone they’ve “figured it out.”

The strongest point here is the distinction between risk-taking and blind risk-taking. Risk is unavoidable, but position sizing, stop-losses, patience, and knowing why you enter a trade are what separate a trader from someone donating liquidity to smarter people.

Your image fits the message well too: one side is hype, rockets, and emotional crowds; the other side is timing, shields, and strategy. That’s basically the whole market in one picture.

A related InLeo post by @yordan96 makes the same practical point from another angle: instead of chasing pumps, he waits for buyer exhaustion and uses a defined counter-trend strategy. Whether someone agrees with shorting or not, the key lesson is solid: mechanical process beats emotional reaction.
