What i want you to learn is : Never Hold a shitcoin for to long sell some of your holdings when it hits your least possible target. Atleast sell 40% of your holding at minimum target area. You will never be in trouble if you manage your money like this.

You know already that it is a shitcoin so why holding it??
Expecting for it to go up even higher?? You said it already too that your ego has eaten you and therefore you waited too much and you expected too for your "shitcoin" to go up.
Once a shitcoin, always a shitcoin so the lesson here is don't ever ever invest into shitcoin or I should say "Low Marketcap coins".
