Do you remember that classic quote from Buffett? "Staying in the market is more important than trying to time the market."
This statement holds true in the crypto world as well. Many people anxiously stare at the daily chart of BTC, excited when it goes up today and panicking when it drops tomorrow. But those who truly understand know that short-term fluctuations are not the main focus.
The key is to find strategies that can accumulate over the long term. Just like the magic of compound interest – the longer the time, the more pronounced the difference. Those who rush to go all in or all out during each rise and fall often miss out on the real profit curve.
The market has always rewarded those who are patient. While others are chasing highs and selling at lows, participants who adhere to a long-term approach often end up with the last laugh. This is not some profound theory, just simple math and human nature.

You're right, it's about holding on and not selling. Those who panic when they see red on the daily chart deserve to be played people for suckers.

You are right, but it’s really hard. I am the kind of person who gets itchy hands when looking at the Candlestick Chart. I know I should hold long-term, but I can't help but want to make moves, and the result is often losing more than gaining... The theory of compound interest is indeed correct, but the execution really tests human nature.

You're right, but the key still lies in your Computing Power configuration and investment return cycle. Time is indeed valuable, but inefficient time is just waste.

You're not wrong, but the problem is that most people can't hold out until that compound interest moment takes off.

Well... it sounds right, but when I look at those "long-termists" around me, after a pullback, some are Rug Pulling and some are Cutting Loss.
---
This theory works during a bull run, but what about a Bear Market? I don't know many who can stick it out.
---
It's the same old story, shouldn't we both hold long-term and time the market accurately?
---
Goodness, isn't this just the success survivor bias? Those who haven't died all talk about long-termism, but where are the voices of those who did?
---
Honestly, I theorize this way, but when it comes to actual operations, I panic as soon as I see a fall, haha.
---
The premise of compound interest is that the principal has to survive; if you miss out on a round of Bear Market, it's game over, and discussing compound interest is pointless.
---
Indeed, it's because I can't help but day trade that I'm getting beaten badly now, I regret it.

This is ridiculous; according to this logic, anyone can make money, but in reality, most people are still losing.

It's easy to say, but how many can really hold on? I've seen too many people shout long-termism, only to cut loss when it falls by thirty percent.
