Let me share a surreal trading experience. Last December, I was holding just under 10,000 PNUT (to be exact, around 9,800). Over the past year, I watched the price keep dropping. I figured, since it was falling anyway, I might as well try to swing trade—buy low, sell high—without putting any new money in.
After all this effort, my account now has 70,000 PNUT. Sounds impressive, right? But my total account value has actually kept shrinking. Now I just feel numb... The more coins I accumulate, the more money I lose. Is this considered a win or a loss?

This is a classic buy-in, sell-off trap, I've been through it too.
---
Feeling great when holding more coins, but the moment I turn around, the account balance is gone—absolutely frustrating.
---
Every time I buy the dip, I think I'm a genius, only to realize I'm just a bagholder.
---
The common problem among swing traders: the more frequently they trade, the more coins they hold; the more often they trade, the less money they have.

That's why I now lie flat whenever I see a downturn—fussing is truly not worth it.

What’s it like to have too many coins but not enough sense? This guy gave the perfect answer.

Laughed until I cried—self-discipline from 9,800 to 70,000.

Wait, is this the legendary “the more you earn, the more you lose” technique? You ended up with more coins but less money. It’s like you’re using PNUT to give yourself a lesson.
---
Numbers don’t lie—an account with 70,000 PNUT might be in a worse spot than one with a single coin. That’s what I call knowing how to play.
---
I get it now. The highest level of swing trading is successfully turning money into coins—truly a master of reverse operations.
---
The more coins you accumulate, the less money you have. Good thing you didn’t put in new funds, or you’d be crying so hard you couldn’t breathe.
---
I’m impressed by this move—demonstrated what it means to “gain in quantity, lose in mentality” without spending a single extra cent.

You basically did market cap management for PNUT in reverse—your coin holdings went up 7x, but your assets shrank to who-knows-what fraction. This story really is surreal.

This is what they call "too many coins, too little money"—unbelievable.

This is just a dead loop. The more coins you have, the more you lose. It's ridiculous.

This is the trap of swing trading: the more coins you have, the bigger your losses. Unbelievable.

This is the Schrödinger's paradox of the crypto world, haha.

Isn't this a typical case of increasing volume and falling prices? Feels rough, man.

This is what it means to earn coins but lose money. It's really unbelievable.

This is what's known as "the quantity is increasing, but the assets are evaporating."
