It’s finally happening. Your crypto portfolio is exploding in value.

That long bear market, the patience, the fear, the late nights researching tokenomics it’s paying off.

But now comes a different kind of challenge: How do you stay grounded when the numbers on your screen make you feel invincible?

In this episode, Daniel Leinhardt, your host and fellow investor, shares deeply personal stories and battle-tested lessons from past bull runs, especially from times when success nearly led to self-sabotage.

He opens up about the moment his portfolio 5Xed and how it nearly wrecked his discipline, patience, and even relationships.

Daniel walks you through simple yet powerful principles to help you stay focused during these high-emotion times. From resisting the temptation to over-leverage or “ape in” on hype coins, to knowing when to take profits and when to hold, this episode is a much-needed anchor in the middle of crypto chaos.

He breaks down how real investors protect their long-term vision during a parabolic run.

You’ll learn how to separate excitement from logic, how to avoid comparison traps on Crypto Twitter, and why sticking to your original strategy might just save your gains.

You’ll also hear relatable examples involving coins like Solana, Pepe, and older gems like Ethereum stories where investors either stayed grounded and multiplied their impact… or lost everything by falling into the illusion of “forever going up.”

This episode isn’t about charts or price targets. It’s about emotional intelligence, humility, and maturity the kind of wisdom that *actually* lets you walk away with something real from this volatile market.

Whether you’re a first-time gainer or a seasoned investor watching your portfolio break all-time highs again, this episode is your reminder to breathe, think long-term, and stay connected to what really matters.
