Don't chase trends, only look ten years ahead - An investment creed of a Web3 entrepreneur

Memecoin was never on his investment list.

It’s not that he missed the opportunity, but rather that he has no interest in participating at all. Karnika E. Yashwant—known in the industry as “Mr. KEY”—dropped out of school at 14 and is now a Web3 entrepreneur worth hundreds of millions, having founded multiple companies and operating from Dubai with over 150 employees under his management. His strategy never follows market ups and downs, only his beliefs.

“When I invest, I never look at tomorrow's price,” he said, “I only care about how much it's worth in ten years.”

What is the real key to making money?

While retail investors are still debating whether Bitcoin will rise to 175,000 or fall back to 45,000, Mr. KEY has already planned his next five moves. He bought Ethereum at 100 dollars and continued to add to his position at 3,500 dollars, enduring the fluctuations when the price fell below 1,000 dollars, remaining inactive at one point.

Why?

“Ethereum has always been undervalued. Bitcoin? A million-dollar asset, it's just a matter of time before it reaches that price,” he said calmly.

This logic is completely different from those who rely on news hype. As the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” said — you make money when you buy, selling doesn't necessarily guarantee that. If you enter the market because you understand the future value of an asset, then the rewards have actually already been credited; it's just that the numbers in your account haven't caught up yet.

Why do most people lose money?

Mr. KEY bluntly stated: “They don't have a winning mindset. They want to get rich, but are not prepared to endure pain, stay calm in uncertainty, and think clearly in chaos.”

He is not mocking; he has seen through the phenomena of hundreds of cycles—every market cycle, people abandon sound strategies for short-term speculation.

“Everyone says, 'If I had bought Bitcoin in 2012, I would be financially free now,' but they don't. Most people will sell at a loss when the price doubles or quintuples because they lack confidence,” he has observed too many such scenarios.

Wealth is not chased after, but forged through endurance. Becoming someone who can withstand the test of the market is the true path to prosperity.

His Investment Iron Rule

Abandoning influencer recommendations and viral jokes, every transaction by Mr. KEY is based on deep research—not a hasty skimming of information, but a thorough understanding of technology, teams, and token economics. Can't clearly articulate the value? Don't invest.

He quietly tracks the flow of institutional funds. Institutions do not boast on social media; they quietly accumulate in places that others cannot see. Mr. KEY built his position before the public and quietly reduced his position before everyone reacted.

Thinking in terms of ten years is his habit. An asset dropping 40% next month? He doesn't care. He focuses on the trend ten years down the line. This perspective keeps his positions as solid as a rock, while others have been scared into cutting losses by short-term fluctuations.

The most critical point - belief is greater than convenience. Adhering requires not only strategy but also an obsession with the results. He invests in the dreams he is willing to hold for the long term.

Streamline the information sources and carefully filter them; the most important decision is often not “what to buy” but “what to ignore.” He filtered out the noise and kept only the truly valuable information.

As for memecoins? “It represents a casino mentality, not value creation. Want a quick thrill? Go trade. But don't confuse this with wealth accumulation,” he said bluntly. His portfolio only contains assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum that have real utility and macroeconomic logic supporting them.

Endgame Thinking

In the crypto world, there are no fast tracks, no magic symbols, and no truths about getting rich overnight. There is only one thing that determines success or failure—clarity of thought.

Mr. KEY's winning rate does not lie in having a first-mover advantage, but in consistently making the right judgments.

“First succeed, then become rich. It won't be the other way around,” he concluded.

In this industry, success starts with the right mindset, and everything else will naturally follow.
