You: "You're constantly analyzing charts, monitoring every market move, timing entries and exits—so why can't you outperform the index?"

Me: *sends screenshot of my portfolio*

(The painful truth: sometimes holding a basket of top cryptos beats the hell out of trying to be a trading genius)

Bro, this is why I don't do day trading. I really can't bother with the hassle.

This is reality. Staring at the market all day is exhausting; it's better to just relax and hodl.

A wry smile, sometimes I am the one who gets slapped in the face.

Stop messing around. Honestly holding coins might be more profitable. --- No matter how many charts you look at, it's useless. Better to sleep well. --- Honestly, the fees for intraday trading can eat up your profits. --- That's why I don't look at anything now. Just lying flat and holding coins yields higher returns. --- The more frequently you trade, the more you lose. It's truly a painful lesson. --- Being able to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum already makes you a winner compared to most people. Why insist on short-term trading? --- To be clear, most people can't be traders. We're just the socially anxious HODLers chosen by fate. --- Watching K-line charts every day actually makes you lose money. It's really ironic.

honestly? this hits different when you've actually audited your own trading patterns. the composability angle here is brutal — turns out hodling btc/eth is just a more elegant primitive than trying to time every micro-move. game theory wins again lol

ngl the portfolio screenshot hits different when you realize your "edge" was just survivorship bias and copium all along... bth just holding btc/eth beats 90% of degenerates who think they're reading on-chain signals at 3am lmao
