Five years of immersion in the crypto market have made me realize a simple yet profound truth: as long as you are patient enough to stay committed in this ecosystem, you will eventually find your opportunity.

The case of BAGS perfectly illustrates this—sometimes success is as painful as chewing glass, filled with the agony of waiting and the test of patience. But the question is, how many people can truly "just exist amongst" for long enough? Most give up before dawn.

Those investors who manage to persevere are often not because they have superhuman foresight, but because they possess superhuman patience. The market rewards those who can withstand volatility and stay true to their beliefs. Long-term holding is not just a strategy, but a mindset—maintaining rationality amidst noise and confidence during downturns.

Speaking of which, sticking to this thing is easier said than done... I know several people who kept saying they would hold long-term a few years ago, but they couldn't even endure a single big dip and ended up cutting their losses, so awkward.

That's true, but very few people can really hold on until dawn. Those around me who shout "long-term hold" start to hesitate and consider cutting losses after a 30% drop.

That's so true, it's really a test of mentality. The most profitable people around me are indeed not geniuses; they just hold steadily without selling. When others are cutting losses, they keep adding more. Such mental resilience is really not something everyone has.

That's right, it's just suffering. I've been through several rounds where I almost gave up, but holding on tight actually led to unexpected gains. Really, most people just haven't adjusted their mindset properly. When they fall, they panic. Is it a lack of patience or a lack of faith? It's actually just a matter of time difference. If others have already moved on and you're still there, you've already won half the battle. Looking at it over a longer timeline, that's indeed the case. Only those who survive the bear market are qualified to talk about making money. It is painful, but isn't that just the cost? No one can succeed easily. So now I’m not as anxious anymore. Anyway, there’s nothing worth watching in the short term. Sleep when you should, eat when you should.
