Hold tight, don’t mess around.

First, let’s talk about Bitcoin: $150,000 is just the starting price—don’t get scared off by the pullbacks along the way. From $18,000 at the start of 2023 to this year’s high of $126,000, how many crashes did we go through? How many times did you panic? Every time you sold at a loss, did you regret it afterward? Look back at your trading history—those mistakes are all just tuition fees in hindsight.

Altcoins are even crazier. A lot of people think Bitcoin grows too slowly, so they go all-in on altcoins hoping for a big win. But altcoins are all over the place—up 30% today, down 40% tomorrow—your mindset gets completely wrecked. You can’t help but sell at a loss and swap back into Bitcoin for some peace of mind. Then, right after you switch, those altcoins suddenly moon—sound familiar?

Right now, altcoins are still lying flat at the bottom, just moving sideways and boring as hell. But since you chose this path, you’re here to get rich, right? That means you have to hold on until the late bull market when everything takes off together. The problem is, no one knows exactly when that will be, so there’s nothing wrong with getting in early at the bottom—as long as you’re not staring at the charts all day and scaring yourself.

The early stage of investing in altcoins is all about enduring and questioning your life choices. Accept that, and you’ll be able to stay calm.
