I Sold My Crypto at the “Wrong” Time
But God Said It Was the Right Move—for My Legacy, My Family, and My Faith
Following the pillar of fire
I’ve been feeling the familiar ache again—the “loss of potential gain” from having sold all my crypto, especially with ETH climbing and the altcoin run possibly just around the corner.
A part of me still does the mental math… what if I’d held a little longer? How much more could I have made?
Oooh, it stings my degen mind and heart.
Not because I’m ungrateful, but because I knew the potential. I had studied the market cycles. I had conviction. And by the world's logic, it made sense to hold. Yet even with all the data in front of me, I felt that unmistakable nudge from God:
“Sell. Walk away. It’s time.”
It wasn’t a booming voice or a dramatic revelation—just a quiet, inner clarity that wouldn’t leave me…no matter how many times I slept and prayed on it.
So I obeyed.
Even though the numbers said “wait.”
Even though it hurt to walk away from what looked like easy upside.
Even though I knew it might go higher—which it now has.
But here's the deeper truth: I didn’t exit because I doubted the crypto run. I exited because I trust the God who led me.
I redirected that capital into something I could control—a tangible commercial unit at Orchard Towers that will soon house Phoenix Rehab Novena. It’s not flashy or viral, but it’s real. It’s brick and mortar. It’s mission. It’s legacy. It’s provision for my family and platform for my team.
Obedience doesn’t always feel like winning in the short term. But I’m reminded again and again—God’s returns are never just financial.
Sometimes He asks us to give up what’s good for what’s right.
To surrender potential for purpose.
To trade hype for peace.
I don’t know what ETH will do next. But I do know this: even if I “miss out on the upcoming ALT crypto bull run…”, I know I didn’t miss out—I moved in step with the One who knows what’s ahead.
And I know He wont shortchange me, if anything, I remind myself that I’d rather be with God than with my own knowledge or my own wins. I’d rather be with Jesus, anytime.
And that’s a win I can live with.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
