I’m going to be efficient with this article because no one wants to hear philosophical and long-winded words when their portfolio is bleeding so let’s cut to the chase.

We are now in a capital preservation environment and there is no need to try to be a hero and catch the bottom. There have been far more fallen soldiers than winners who have tried that strategy without success.

Capital preservation will determine how much you leave this cycle with and make sure you don’t end up with too many regrets because you’re a “diamond hand” that will never sell your alt that has no inherent value except a narrative.

I will iterate what I did in the last article, I think BTC is fine but many alts have topped for the cycle due to the dispersion that has been prevalent since the start of the “cycle”.
