Here's the hard truth about crypto trading: your unrealized gains mean nothing until you actually convert them to cash. Posting portfolio screenshots doesn't change that—it just feeds the ego. Real profits require real execution.
But here's what kills most traders faster: comparing your P&L to someone else's gains. That poison drip of FOMO and greed will wreck your discipline every single time. Your portfolio isn't their portfolio. Your risk tolerance isn't their risk tolerance. Your timeline isn't their timeline.
Keep your head down, execute your strategy, and celebrate wins without the theater. The market rewards patience and psychology just as much as timing.

That set of screenshots really pisses me off. I've seen too many accounts post pictures during the bull market, only to disappear during the bear market.

Showing off wealth with screenshots is really pointless; those who truly make money do it quietly.

Really, if you can't see the money, it's all virtual; many people have never understood this.
