People who truly make money never rely on chasing hot trends.
Some people keep their eyes on the K-line all day, seeking quick profits from every trade. But what’s the result? Everyone is crowded on the same path, competition is fierce, and in the end, they end up empty-handed. This approach is like reckless driving on a congested highway—the more you rush, the more stuck you get.
Those who can stay patient choose a different path—using time and compound interest to outperform the market. For example, holding Bitcoin long-term, buying and then leaving it alone, letting each cycle and fluctuation become part of the accumulation. This path may seem quiet, with few people walking it, and sometimes even a bit boring. But precisely because of this quietness, it creates opportunities.
The difference lies here: one seeks instant gratification, while the other is willing to delay satisfaction for long-term gains. The market always rewards those who can wait. Those who truly build wealth often do so quietly, adhering to the logic of compound interest while others are anxious.

That's right, you should buy the dip, not chase the top.

It's really like a pancake stall selling big pancakes; the more you chase, the more you lose.
---
Isn't this the feeling of buying BTC, sleeping soundly, and waking up to profits?
---
Alright, I admit I'm still a rookie, watching the market every day.
---
The tricks of capitalists make you think holding will win.
---
That makes sense, but who can really do nothing? It's too torturous.
---
Compound interest is real, but the premise is to choose the right coins.
---
This is about my dad, who bought BTC in 2017 and then completely forgot about it, making a huge profit.
---
Stop talking nonsense. How many can hold without selling? When it rises 10%, they want to run.
---
I'm just afraid of going to zero while holding.
---
Delayed gratification sounds like a tactic used by the poor to persuade the rich.

Indeed, my friends who trade all day have had their fees eaten up completely.

Honestly, chasing the trend is already outdated. Most of those still trading short-term intraday are just getting caught and cut.

That's right, you just have to endure. Most of those guys who watch the market every day are probably working for the exchanges.

That's true, but the real challenge is holding on. Most people simply can't endure until that day.
