this is the exact reason why a lot of people fail in crypto they are wishing for quick and immediate returns when in reality it will not happen as fast as they expect it to impatience gets in the way then they just end up abandoning crypto and failing to properly see the profits over time

If you are holding trash coin I am sorry to say but you are actually stuck and very possibly not coming out of it.
Crypto-currency don't care how much you motivate yourself of you make the poor decisions then their are consequences for those actions.

Sometimes it's best to count your loss and restrategize because this will help you learn from your experience but holding on to dust will only aid in you making poor decisions in the future. For me it's Bitcoin because many of those low cap gems aren't worth it.

I'm in the game for over 12 years now. I still don't have a lambo, 7-figure net worth, or all the glitz and glam like everyone else is enjoying whom I know started at the same time as I did. It's the reality, I can't really focus much on crypto because I have to face the grim reality of prioritizing my immediate future rather than banking heavily on bitcoin. It didn't discourage me into putting something in my wallet every month, and they really help in covering a lot of things for me from a financial standpoint, and I think it's more than enough for me for now.

Similar discussions in 2014 were also present when the 2013 bubble popped. Negative speculations on the future of bitcoin, on whether it can reach the same heights before and other stuff were evidently present, and was the general mood of this forum on those days. The only light during this time is a post from this very forum that has become the mantra of all bitcoin holders that are stuck with bags they cannot sell due to price crashes: I AM HODLING.

Bitcoin has proven time and again that it will always bounce back from whatever shit hole it is put on. It made numerous batches of new millionaires faster and easier than any other snake oil investment schemes who promised the same thing to its investors. If you can weather the storm, and have a job that helps you put food on the table and paying the bills, do not sell and just forget that bitcoin exists for a few months, come back, then reap the rewards.

Just like I've often said, there's no instant in learning, especially in making profits. You come here to learn and start a good investment, so why chose to be impatient and eventually go for wrong decisions. If you are here for long-term investment, then never go against the market but just ride with whatever condition the market will face.

Victory comes with a process. And the process is never easy but clearly hard and tough. But if you know your goal and you'll stick to it, success will definitely come in the end. You don't need to rush but be patient and understand the market. Winners are those who chose to be patient, and not those who jump into negative conclusions.

Of course, we aren't stuck. Being early does not, however, always translate into victory. The edge is early with direction, awareness, with adaptation. This is not about biding your time for the charts to confirm your hope. It's about knowing why you wait and what you really should be positioned for. Most people consider themselves early just because they arrived before others. How many “early” people fumbled the moment conviction turned into complacency?

Yes, patience is important. But critical thought matters more. Bitcoin didn’t survive 15 years because people “held on”. It persisted since its basic architecture matched a decentralized survival instinct that cuts beyond hype cycles. You are investing in a worldview whereby censorship resistance and trust minimizing are not buzzwords but rather requirements, not only in the market.

So keep going. But don’t mistake stillness for strategy. See if your conviction is changing. Passive belief is easy. Earned belief is uncommon.

I was this weak before that, a few thousand movements and dump, I am already shaking and was shaken out of the market for so many times. Until I got used to it and was no being bothered anymore.

They are doing it right but they have to experience the ups and downs of the market. This will make them stronger and won't be easily moved if the market is volatile and it is not going according to what they're expecting it to be.

When you are playing the long game, patience in crypto is the key. People who has more to worry somewhere else can just buy BTC and leave it alone for years and just take profit when the time is right.

People who have bought BTC in the peak of 2017 would have profited still if he hold it. But back in 2018, those guys must have regretted when they bought at 2017 peak. So yea the patience pay.

This is a typical behaviour of traders and not holdlers or probably someone who just jumped into the space without having much knowledge of what he's into. Being a holdler free one's mind from frequent discomfort arising from market rapid movement especially when you have a long time projection. The moment you start refreshing your chart every now and then, you need to realise that this journey is not yours and you should probably look into something else before you'll be depressed or discouraged.


Yeah, and likewise it drains the patients. One thing that matters here is to know what exactly you want before even making your investment. When you patience too much, you lose the right time to exit.

So you were early many years ago, if you take the status today. But if you look many years into the future, then you would also be early now. I would like to see what the price looks like at the end of the 21 million bitcoin, when all coins are mined and what happens after that. But i wont live to see that, or all of us wont live to see that, which makes me a little sad. Hopefully in 100 years the forum will still be online and you can look at what we wrote today, or what was said 5 years ago: you are early.
