Investing has never been a 100-meter sprint. Those who truly make money understand a principle — wealth is not about getting rich overnight, but about persistence every day.

The volatility in the crypto world is a fact. Watching the coins on the top gainers list soar is very tempting. But on the other hand, today's tenfold increase could turn into a 50% drop tomorrow. Instead of chasing the highs and selling the lows, it's better to find a project you truly understand and are willing to hold long-term, giving it time to grow.

Short-term panic and greed can swallow your gains. Those who truly accumulate wealth often choose the hardest path — patience. Waiting is not inaction, but maintaining rationality amid fluctuations and exercising restraint in the face of temptation.

Slow down, and you'll go faster. A stable strategy is the way to go further. In the end, time will favor those with patience.

No matter how nicely you put it, no one can really do it. When they see a tenfold coin soaring, who's still thinking about "holding long-term"? I, for one, just can't hold on.

That's right, but I see that most people just can't change this bad habit. They stare at the gainers list every day, get FOMO to the extreme, and then get completely wiped out. I've been through it myself, only understanding after experiencing losses.

Sounds good, but the key is still to resist checking the market, that's the biggest test.

per my analysis, the "patience wins" narrative conveniently ignores survivorship bias... but statistically speaking, yeah the data does back this up. let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick tho, something doesn't add up about the risk assessment here ngl

Sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I see people around me constantly talking about long-term investing, but as soon as the coin drops 3%, they start cutting losses.
