What is the biggest pain point in the crypto world? It's not losing money, but selling too early.

I used to be particularly prone to this. When BNB went up a little, I wanted to sell, fearing a correction and losing money; but then it kept soaring after I sold, and I rushed to buy back at the high. One after another, my coins kept decreasing, and my mindset was collapsing.

Now BNB is at the $900 level, and many people are starting to hesitate again: should I take profits here and cash out? Or hold on and wait for $1500? This question has tormented me countless nights.

Until I later changed my entire approach — when I need money, I simply don’t sell my coins.

Want a new computer? Use BNB as collateral to borrow money. Want to join a friend's gathering? Use BNB as collateral to borrow money. Got a new investment opportunity? Still use BNB as collateral to borrow money.

What’s the magic of this logic? I will never feel the regret of "selling too early." Because my core assets are still in my hands.

BNB rises to $2000? My holdings appreciate along with it, and my account is booming. BNB drops back to $800? I’m not panicking, because I have the borrowed cash in hand, ready to add to my position at the low point, or pay off the debt and get my coins back.

The biggest benefit of this borrowing scheme isn’t just liquidity (0.41% interest rate is almost like doing charity), but more importantly, it changed my psychological perception of risk. I’ve gradually transformed from a speculative trader prone to anxiety into a stable asset manager. Now my sleep quality has improved significantly, holding coins in one hand, cash in my pocket—that’s the dream state of crypto enthusiasts.

Exactly right, collateralized borrowing is indeed a brilliant move. Selling assets is truly more painful than losing money, I understand. Borrowing and lending is the best solution in the crypto world, but unfortunately most people are still struggling with whether to sell or not. This idea should have been popularized long ago, otherwise many people are still chasing highs and cutting losses. By the way, a 0.41% interest rate is incredibly attractive, but you need to find a reliable platform.

This logic's orbital angle calculation is quite good; the core is that holding coins without moving is the true escape velocity. Collateral lending indeed unlocks a new dimension of liquidity, equivalent to installing a fuel injection system for the main upward wave. The psychological resistance level has been completely broken through. Upgrading from a short-term speculator prone to gains and losses to a stable asset manager is truly a change in orbit. Sleep quality +1, and the RSI sentiment indicator has also stabilized. The key question is—can the 0.41% lending rate really cover the risk of a price correction, or is your plan essentially betting that the BNB long-term upward launch window has already opened? I laughed when I saw the part about fewer and fewer coins. This is a typical phenomenon caused by setting stop-loss levels too shallow, leading to frequent liquidation.

Collateralized borrowing is really the best move, saving you from the heart attack of selling at a loss. --- Wait, where did you get that 0.41% interest rate from? I can't find it. --- It's easy to say, but what if the coin crashes and the lending platform explodes? Another tragedy. --- Holding coins in hand and having money in your pocket feels good, but have you ever thought about the risks? --- This way of thinking has turned holding coins into a financial game, making it even more complicated. --- Selling at a loss is indeed heartbreaking, but isn't it more despairing than liquidation? --- Loan schemes sound like a way to comfort oneself psychologically, but if something goes wrong, you still have to repay. --- Wake up, there is no perfect crypto scheme; it's all gambling. --- This logic, my goodness, is just shifting anxiety somewhere else. --- Alright, anyway, I still believe that long-term holding of spot assets is the most reliable.

Using collateral to borrow money is indeed a clever move, but the prerequisite is that the coin price must not plummet. Really? Which platform offers such a low interest rate of 0.41%? I totally understand the panic selling mentality, and later I learned to hold coins with a Zen attitude. The discussion about lending risks is too casual; leverage is a double-edged sword. Holding coins in hand and having money in your pocket sounds great, but it's game over once the liquidation line is reached.

The method of borrowing money through collateral is indeed clever, but it depends on whether the platform is trustworthy.

It's the same old spiel. I just want to ask, what about the interest on collateralized loans? What if the market crashes even more later?
