Want to achieve 100x returns? It sounds tempting, but the road is far from that simple.

The usual story goes like this: first, a 5x increase, and before you can get excited, there's an 80% plunge. Your account shrinks, profits vanish, and you might even incur losses. Your mindset begins to waver.

But if you hold on, the next step is a 10x rebound. You start to believe in your choices. Then, another round of 50x crazy surge, and at this point, you feel like the chosen one, holding the golden key.

Then, reality knocks again—an 80% cutback reappears. Finally, the long-awaited ultimate pump of 100x.

The question is: at this stage, do you still have the courage to hold your position? Most people cut their losses during the first 80% drop. Those who ultimately make money are not relying on luck, but on a heart strong enough to stay the course.

Honestly, I ran away after the first wipeout, now I regret it to death. --- How strong does your mental resilience have to be to withstand two 80% drops? I would have broken long ago. --- The key is, how do you know which 80% is the last one? That's gambling. --- Among the people I know, not a single one has truly endured; everyone got wiped out at the bottom. --- A 100x return sounds great, but a steadfast heart can't withstand the despair of the account hitting rock bottom. --- You're right, but execution is the biggest devil; what sounds good in theory often doesn't hold up in practice. --- That's probably survivor bias—successful stories are all written out, while failures have long been silent.

Honestly, I quit after the first wipeout haha It's really just a patience-testing game If you can't stick with it, don't play. If you play, don't regret it Most people can't last through that final wave at all It seems simple but is actually deadly This is the psychology of gamblers, brother

He ran away with 80% the first time. What are we even talking about 100x for?

actually the math here is wrong. if you run the drawdown simulation with proper kelly criterion positioning, most degens are taking on 10x their optimal risk. the ones who "diamond hand" aren't built different, they just didn't calculate their liquidation prices correctly lmao

Really? The first 80% plunge basically eliminated most people, only the tough ones made it to the second round. --- Basically, it's a psychological battle; managing funds is more difficult than choosing coins. --- I don't believe you, most people who make money are just lucky and suffer from survivor bias. --- A steadfast mindset? Nonsense, stop-loss is the real key, okay? --- Hearing about 100x returns sounds great, but in reality? Most are worth nothing. --- Every plunge is a test, but most people have already panic sold. --- So the key is whether you dare to go all-in and whether you can handle losing everything. --- This is gambling disguised as investing, don't fool yourself. --- A firm heart? That's called gambler's mentality. --- I just want to know how many people have truly survived two rounds of halving.
