The biggest winners tend to be the ones who bet on themselves harder than anyone else would. Not reckless—that's different—but unshakably convinced their vision works when most people still see red flags. That conviction rewires how you move: you take calculated risks others skip, you iterate faster, you stay in the game longer. In crypto, in startups, in any frontier market, self-belief isn't a liability. It's the edge that keeps you grinding when the chart looks rough and everyone's telling you it's over.
