I Sold My Entire Crypto Portfolio Before the Bitget Solana Pump — Here’s Why It Wasn’t About Gains, But Survival

The Quiet Before the Surge

I didn’t buy because I thought it was hype. I sold—not out of fear, but out of grief.

It was 3:17 AM in my Oakland apartment. The charts glowed fluorescent green against deep blue. RICH had surged 400% in 12 hours. REKT was trending like a meme that forgot its origin. pfpdog? A digital ghost waving in the BSC memecoin graveyard.

Bitget had just launched onchain trading for Solana and BSC—seamlessly stitching CEX to DEX. They called it ‘convenience.’ I called it an illusion dressed as efficiency.

The Algorithm That Knows Fear

I run Python models trained on emotional entropy.

The tokens weren’t rising because of adoption. They rose because liquidity evaporated into speculative voids—because retail traders forgot how to read price action without context.

I watched the order book thin itself like a dying breath. Every buy signal was a whisper from someone who’d been burned by their own optimism.

What Was Left Unsaid

This wasn’t a bull market. It was an熬出来的 (cooked-out) bear market—with glittering memes as funeral pyres.

You don’t trade crypto to get rich. You trade it to stay alive.
