... is not a secret.
- Do your job. Innovate, produce, make money.
- Trade your fiat currency for the scarcest asset.
- Hold the scarcest asset.
That's it. It's all about delayed gratification. The hardest part is to actually hold it. Bitcoin has an addressable market cap hundreds of trillions of dollars worth more than it currently does. Don't be the guy who traded it with a 99% discount.
It amazes me how difficult it is for some people to grasp that.
It's not as easy as you make it. First of all, if you are not from an educated or rich family, your chances of achieving success are very slim because you grew up in a place that makes everything hard for you. The mentality of parents isn't good, your connections are bad and etc... This is the case with 99% of people who grew up in such a place.
Second of all, people don't know what trading is. I'm from a developing country, and trading and forex are new words that we heard recently while the rest of the USA is doing all of this since the 20th century. Even in my generation, 90% of young people don't know what it is.
Holding an asset comes with knowledge. Sadly, I sold lots of coins in 2016-2017, because I was young with no knowledge of the economy and how things work in this world but since then, I focused on my mentality to keep patience and hold coins. in 2020, when I saw a bull run again, I became sure that holding of Bitcoin and investing in some altcoins with a big potential is a road to success and today it makes me very happy that I've come this far. I'm not rich but when I compare current days to my past days, I'm proud that I stand here, where I am.
