I keep beating myself for missing out on Doge back then when it was hyped by Elon. Seeing my colleague who are noobs make so much money from Doge made me feel like a clown. It honestly felt like a joke but I stood on my crypto experience and refused to buy the coin again. Yes! I held Doge back in 2017 when I just started my journey into crypto. Used it for some swing trades then held some before I eventually sold all during the 2018/19 bear market. Right now, if I see any trending coin with lots of hype that people are buying, I will ride on it as well be it meme, gamefi, defi, privacy coins or NFTs. Not making the same mistake again!
It is not just you there were plenty like you who had huge amounts of Dogecoin at one time and they sold it before it mooned. It is hard to understand which coin will trend next and get the hype. I remember it all started with a trend on tiktok about Dogecoin and then one tweet by Elon Musk everything changed. No one expected a memecoin to pump so much and now we have so many of them on different blockchains. The hype is still going on and every day a new meme coin is getting released.
