I've been staring at my holdings that got halved for days, my finger hovering over the sell button countless times. The coins I once believed in so deeply now look like love letters I wrote as a teenager—sincere but naive.

In the end, I finally bit the bullet and cleared everything out. I cut my losses on more than 20 random tokens—losses are losses, but that's better than staying trapped. Now, I'm only holding TIA, EIGEN, FET, MANTA, and ONDO. Looking at the charts, it's clear there's big money quietly accumulating at the bottom for these.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt. Not every coin can recover on its own; sometimes, the only way out of a bad position is to admit the loss and move on. But on second thought, this kind of pain is also growth—at least now I have the guts to say no to trash projects and know to focus my money on tokens with real potential.

My portfolio finally feels clean. Now, let's see if these five champions can perform.
