I didn't sell because I didn't believe.

I sold because I had no other choice.

I liquidated more than 90% of my portfolio from April to July of this year. Prior to that, I held on for nearly 7 years without any setbacks. The pain I feel now is immeasurable in many ways. I see a lot of you celebrating and I wish I could be a part of it.

The truth is that I've had a really rough year. On top of personal, unrelated matters, my finances have kinda gone to hell as a result of me being "between jobs" and unable to find work. While some of it is my own doing (and I take full responsibility), a lot of it seems to be outside of my control so my anxiety is high around the clock. I've had a couple job interviews recently so I'm hopeful for a positive change.

My advice for you is to stay the course and don't let yourself get too high on good news or depressed when the headlines are negative. Try to detach and assure yourself of why you hold XRP. Bring yourself back down to earth if ever you're conflicted. Brainwash yourself, meditate, do whatever you need to do to avoid making the mistake I made.

My wallet was in the top 20% of XRP holders. Now... I'd rather not talk about it.

Good luck to everyone. I'm really happy for you if you've been around a while.
