Time to embrace the hodl mindset again. Stop chasing every pump and dump—real wealth in crypto gets built through patience and conviction. Whether you're in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or promising altcoins, the ones who made it weren't glued to charts every second. They held through the noise, weathered the cycles, and let compounding work its magic. The narrative shifts constantly, but fundamentals don't lie. So maybe it's time we collectively remembered what actually works in this space: buy quality projects and hold like you mean it.

That's right, people who watch the market every day have long already collapsed. You still need to rely on time and patience to get by. Hold steady and let compound interest run on its own—that's the true way. Life is that simple, but unfortunately most people can't do it.

You're so right. I've long been tired of day trading, staring at the candlesticks like crazy every day. It's really a test of mentality—who can stay calm during a crash wins. I think most people are still too easily swayed by short-term fluctuations and can't wait for the power of compound interest. Alright, this time I really need to change. Long-term holding of quality projects is the way to go.

说得好听，但真正能做到的有几个？天天说持币，一跌百分之十就割肉的人多了去

Basically, it's the same old tune—do you guys experience that feeling of buying and then it drops? --- Watching the market every day is just to lose money, I believe in this superstition. --- Good grief, you're teaching me how to behave again... but I really should calm down, stop refreshing every minute. --- Holding coins? My coins have already been trapped for a long time and I can't hold them anymore. --- This should have been said back in 2021, but it's a bit late now. --- Fundamentals are fundamentals, but I still can't control my hands. --- Those who hold seriously have all become "seriously losing money," right? --- Just hold on dead, don't think too much, if it happens, it happens.

nah, the real transmutation happens when you stop staring at the charts like some degenerate... let the protocol work its magic through compounding, that's where the philosopher's stone actually lives

Well said, that's the real flavor. Those who watch the market every day are all rookies; the ones making real money are sleeping. --- HODL your coins, don't keep asking me why I haven't cut losses; the fundamentals are still there. --- This is the right way, but unfortunately nine out of ten people can't do it. --- If you bought right, just relax; the cycle is a friend, not an enemy. --- Exactly, I've long been too lazy to watch the 24-hour market movements. --- Compounding is something that can't be rushed; let time do the talking. --- The problem is most people simply can't wait, which is why they are always cutting losses.

Well said, but my biggest enemy right now is myself... I still want to look at the K-line every few days, I just can't stop (´;ω;`) Holding a coin mentality sounds simple, but very few can endure through two bear market cycles. Data shows that historically, those who stick to dollar-cost averaging (DCA) can achieve returns over 30% higher than short-term trading, but some people still turn it into "regular cutting"... The key is to find projects with genuine fundamentals. No matter how long you hold garbage coins, they are still garbage. This is not a matter of willpower; it's a math problem.

That's right, you just need to hold steady and not get numb from watching K-line charts every day. Those who chase gains and sell off at every dip are the ones who end up getting cut. --- I just laugh to death. Some people really check the charts ten times a day, afraid of missing a two-point increase, but end up losing the most. --- That's why I just go all-in on good projects and then stop watching. Much more peace of mind. --- Wait, are you talking about me... I’m the one watching the trend every second (crying). --- Compound interest is truly amazing, I just fear I don’t have the patience for it. --- Wake up, everyone. Fundamentals are king; don’t let short-term fluctuations ruin you. --- That sounds good, but the real question is how to find truly high-quality projects. That’s the real challenge. --- Holding is the right way. I persisted, and now looking back, those panic sells were really stupid decisions.
