I really didn't expect it until I saw the AI-generated annual data summary, and only then did I realize that I have already been labeled as a "long-term holder" in the market.

It's a bit of a punch to the gut—ETH has been lying in my hands for a full 224 days. During this time, the market has fluctuated up and down, but I still managed to hold on. Watching many people trade back and forth in the short term, I actually earned more with my "dead hold" strategy.

These days, investing in crypto seems to test more of your mindset than your trading frequency. Those who watch the market every day sometimes lose to market noise. Meanwhile, a fossil like me, with long-term holdings, witnesses the complete cycle unfold.

How is your holding strategy this year? Maybe take a look at your annual data profile and compare the changes in returns and mindset. Sometimes, the data reveals some unexpected truths.

224 days without moving, indeed ridiculous. I’ve been just as eager to trade every day but still ended up losing. Long-term holdings are indeed more profitable, watching the market constantly makes me more anxious to the point of bleeding. Data doesn’t lie; only by looking at it do you realize all your efforts this year were in vain. Me too. After a year, I found that those who stay inactive the longest actually have the most stable returns. Absolutely amazing.

Lying flat for 224 days turned out to be a win; I need to learn this trick. I lost so much just on fees this year.

After 224 days of doing nothing, I finally broke my defenses. Turns out I am the "old hamster" that the market mocks, but my wallet is actually doing better than the buddies who are constantly buying the dip. Laughing to tears, data is so heartbreaking. Staring at the screen until I go bald, it's better to be a "lazy holder" like me. It's incredible, the more patient you are, the more you make money. How can this logic be so counterintuitive? Wow, 224 days of lying flat actually beat 365 days of hustle. Is this the dialogue between a chive and a fossil? Wake up, your annual profile might also be hinting that you should put down your phone.

Lying flat for 224 days actually paid off, this is ridiculous... I damn well get itchy to trade every day, but I’m still not even half as relaxed as Xianyu.

224 days without lifting a finger, earning more than those who trade every day. No one would believe it if I told them. Lazy money-making tricks? Stay still like a mountain and let time do the work for you. Holding positions long-term is truly an invisible winner. I just want to ask, how are the people who watch the market every day doing now? Data speaks for itself. Long-term holding is really powerful. Me too, Hodl until neurotic, and I ended up laughing last. Mindset is more valuable than quick reflexes.

224 days of lying down and winning effortlessly, this is unbelievable... I was still trading crazily back then. Bro, you really won this time, but to be honest, I just can't sit still.

224 days of lying down and making money, I believe it. You hodlers are really tough. The fact that I monitor the market every day is making me a bit anxious now... Whoa, as soon as this data came out, I feel like my operations are a bit unnecessary. If you don't understand, just ask. Can holding onto your coins without moving really lead to wins? That makes sense. I need to reflect on my trading journal. Damn, I got beaten by long-term holders again. Wait, 224 days without moving a finger? I can't learn this kind of patience.
