kodtycoon made a few statements of regret from selling early if I remember correctly, and that was during the $0.20 USD run NEM had about 1+years before 2017.
I don't get it. Why sell everything? Even though I made insane amount of cash, I left plenty of nem, ETH, BTC (and other crypto) somewhere in cold encrypted wallet, just so that someday, 5, 10, or 20 years from now, I won't regret selling everything. Maybe everything will go to zero in 20 years, but who cares? I would rather still own some even if it's zero than not own anything. I actually do own a lot of dead coins that I never ever sold but they are all dead. Oh well.. so what.
According to what he said, he was going through some financial hardships and had to pay for school. He also earned a degree if I remember correctly, so not all went to waste. At least NEM was helpful for him when it was needed the most, which I can say probably is the case with a lot of people here.
