How Does One Take Profits? Asking for a friend.

I only take round trips. I can't get off the damn plane.
I honestly need help here. I'd like to learn how to decide when to sell my computer coins. I can't do it. I've done well with blue chips, but I've always been long in that department. No need to sell them, they're supposed to be gold for the grandkids. It's the other plays...the more volatile ones. The ones where you have the potential to make a bunch of quick money. Those I can't seem to figure out. Here are a few of the dumb things I've done that have cost me a wild amount of money, and proof of why I need your help.
NFTs
I love falling in love. I love believing in things. I fell head over heels for NFT's on Solana last cycle. Started out innocently enough. Bought a couple of piece of shit animal pictures, maybe a a little fake digital real estate. Before I knew it, I was in discords trying to get white listed for the next great NFT mint. I turned my work car into a mobile mint station. I could mint NFTs from 5 different devices while driving. Like I said, I fall in love.
I believed in the tokenization of things (I still do) fundamentally. I saw great value in being able to seamlessly transfer ownership on a blockchain once certain smart contracts were fulfilled (I still do). I was also early. A group of friends and I were hunting alpha during the first stages of NFT migration from Ethereum to Solana. Guess what? We kinda nailed it.
Shit I was minting for 1 SOL was worth 40 SOL in a few hours. Got in on some pretty cool projects with reputable teams building them out. Pretty soon, I was sitting on a fat pile of SOL...in theory anyways. I'm talking about life changing money in a few months. Straight killing it. Fast forward to today:

The picture above is a live look at my current Phantom wallet. Those same NFTs that were worth life changing dough? Yeah well I still own most of them and they're worth about three dollars collectively. I conservatively left six figures on the table by not knowing how/when to sell them. I was convinced that they were only gonna go up because I believed in them so deeply and truly.
Memecoins
Memecoins are the fucking devil...and I love em. This cycle's guilty pleasure. Once again, me and the boys got in pretty early. This time it wasn't the tech that sold me. I wasn't naive enough to believe memes were anything other than a craze. I saw them for what they are from jump. If the meme is good, it will pump. It will then almost immediately dump when the dev uses your gamble as exit liquidity. Kind of a simple game right? Just get out quick. Beat the dev to the door and you can make some money.
I did okay following this strategy for awhile. Then came the community takeovers. Wait...the dev rugged, but the fellas have taken over the token and it's pumping again? I'm all in baby. Now there's a cause. A community of nerds joining together for a common goal. It no longer felt like a memecoin to me, it's became something more. It had principle...a soul.
This is where I spiral out of control. I'd continue buying a meme even when it was dipping. Buying the dip on memecoins...can you imagine? But it's got a great community (this is me talking to myself)! It's gonna come back. Before I knew it, I was back in discord. Spending hours a day making and sharing memes to post on x in order to spread awareness lol. God it feels so dumb even typing it.

Yes I actually made this for a token named $green. This and about 300 others. Color meta was gonna take over man! Green is the universal color of crypto! Well fuck me sideways...I was wrong. Then it kinda just snowballed. I was wrong about some of these too...

Yes , I am still the proud owner of almost 2 million "Rizzmas." Why? To be honest I can't even explain some of these. I barely remember buying them. I have a sickness. I don't know what I'm doing. Please someone...anyone...HELP!
Sage Words From Friends
A dear friend game me some advice. When I asked how to take profits, his reply was, "Don't be a faggot." Seemed simple enough. So I asked him when should I take said profits. His response..."When you're in profit, faggot." Thanks I guess?
I moved on to another pal. Asked him the same two questions. All I got back in return was this:

I guess try to be like Arnold's cool son, not the gay fat one? Are these guys trying to tell me something? Long story short, the boys haven't been much help. So, if YOU know how take profits. If YOU are good at computer coins. Fuck it, if YOU are mediocre at computer coins, can you please hook a guy up? It would be much appreciated and I need all the help I can get.
See you at the bottom.
