“Altseason” Refugees: TON $6.5 and APT $12.5 are stuck, what should I do?📉
Friends from Binance Square, I'm here to vent and seek advice. It seems I have unfortunately become a victim of blindly following the suggestions of KOLs (opinion leaders). When everyone was shouting that “Altseason” is coming, I bought into so-called “gems” with hope.
My current situation (January 4, 2026):
1️⃣ TON: Bought in at $6.5 because of the hype. Now the price is only $1.85. A huge loss.
2️⃣ APT (Aptos): At that time touted as the “Ethereum killer”, bought in at $12.5. Currently priced at $1.86.
For me, this is a significant financial loss. Selling off at the current price feels like admitting defeat, but watching the assets shrink day by day is even more painful.
Mindset adjustment:
I am trying to see this as an expensive “tuition fee”. I have understood one thing: when bloggers are shouting “buy”, it's often the time to take profits and exit. But that doesn’t bring my funds back.
What would you do if it were you?
I am currently torn between three options:
Option A: HODL and wait for a miracle. Transfer the coins to Binance for staking, delete the app, and revisit next year, hoping to break even in the 2027 cycle. Option B: Cut losses in time. Sell off the remaining part (about 15-25% of the principal), exchange for BTC or stablecoins, and at least preserve some vitality. Option C: DCA. Buy a small amount at the current low to lower the average cost, but it feels like “catching a falling knife”.
Are there others like me who are stuck? What do you think about the prospects of TON and APT in 2026? Please leave your insights in the comments.👇
