To be honest, I made a huge lot of profits for the year 2021 alone compared to the past few years since I started with cryptocurrency. It's really different now when you are well-knowledge, you know what to do. For the past few years and past bear market, I learned a lot of lessons and applied them for this year.
For the altcoins I invested past year or this year, most of them I already took profits, most are partial. Taking profits is not always a bad choice.
Everyone ends up learning that holding a bit is the most profitable way. Get the good known big name coins and hold them as long as you have to and you will make a profit. Not to say that you can't invest into other things, but 90% of my portfolio is holding known big names, and the other 10% goes to trading and smaller cap stuff.
I have been around here for a long time and I have to say I became a good investor only in 2020, many years after I first started. It may take some time to learn the ins and outs of crypto investment, but in the end we all learn it. I hope that it will not take too long for me to grow this into "decent size" instead of the small amount I have right now, but I know that with this right mindset we have, we are going to build it into a wealth in a decade or so for sure. We just need to not steer away from our path and keep doing what we are doing.
