Sometimes we don't need to see the full picture clearly before taking action, just like fishermen who don't know which part of the sea the fish are in before heading out. But it is precisely because of that belief that they return with a full load. The same principle applies in investing — once you choose, you have a chance; once you believe, it becomes possible.

What you believe in often becomes what you become. This is not just motivational talk, but a truth repeatedly validated by the market. Just look at the history of Bitcoin. When Satoshi Nakamoto launched this code, no one took it seriously, and some even found it troublesome to get free Bitcoin, thinking it was useless. And now? It has long since taken the top spot in the digital asset market, pursued by institutions and individuals alike.

In the cryptocurrency world, stories of sudden wealth are countless. Those who regret the most are often the ones who didn't believe back then. They couldn't understand it, so they missed out. And those who persisted rewrote their destiny with "perseverance" and "seriousness."

People who are serious can change themselves, but only persistent people can change their fate. The crypto world is full of uncertainties, and it is precisely because of this uncertainty that infinite possibilities are born. Instead of obsessing over short-term fluctuations, it's better to develop your judgment and see the long-term value of this field.

That's true, but I still think most people simply can't bring themselves to give up. How many truly dare to go all in?

If I had known earlier, I would have held until now. That’s the most hurtful thing to say.

That's right. People who don't believe now will still not believe in five years, and they'll only regret it more then. Someone offered me BTC back then, and I didn't take it. Thinking about it now, I really must have been out of my mind. Persistence is truly the only way out. Short-term fluctuations are simply not worth mentioning.

That's right, faith really can become self-fulfilling. Those who casually discarded Bitcoin back then are probably kicking themselves now... The key is to have judgment and not be brainwashed by short-term fluctuations.

Honestly, those who missed out on Bitcoin are probably feeling frustrated when looking at the chart now, haha. In my opinion, persistent people make money, while those who regret just complain—both are true. But come to think of it, this logic feels a bit mystical to me. Just take it as some motivational words, okay?

Honestly, those people who thought free Bitcoin was too troublesome back then are probably crying now watching the price rise, haha. The saying that persistence can change destiny really hit me in the heart; that's exactly how it should be. Going to sea without seeing the full picture—this metaphor is perfect. We are all such fishermen. Faith is really valuable; missed opportunities are because of disbelief. Regarding long-term value, oh yeah, you're right. Persistence is the true principle. If you don't understand, you'll miss out—this is a classic negative example. I don't want to be that kind of person.

That's right. Those who casually discarded their private keys in the early days are probably regretting it now. If you're still struggling with ups and downs, it means you haven't figured out what you really want. Just keep going; there's no point in changing it anyway. This is the power of faith. Sometimes, it's really not that complicated.

Haha, you really dare to say that. So how did I completely misjudge the direction back then? --- You have to believe it, anyway it's all regret. --- What’s the point of persistence? I just want to know when I can break even. --- Fishermen have life jackets when they go to sea, but we have nothing in our investments. --- How much is faith worth? I only trust charts and data. --- It's easy to say, but try to hold on when the decline reaches 80%. --- I've heard this set of arguments countless times, and someone always takes over the position. --- Instead of talking about persistence, it's better to talk about stop-loss. That’s real experience. --- Can we stop always mentioning Bitcoin as an example? Why does no one talk about those coins that went to zero? --- So here’s the question: what do you still believe in now?

honestly the "faith becomes reality" angle hits different when you're staring at on-chain metrics at 3am... btc's price deviation from macroeconomic fundamentals? that's literally just market inefficiency waiting to be exploited. those early believers weren't romantic, they just spotted the arbitrage opportunity nobody else saw lol

This article is correct, but the problem is that most people simply can't stick with it. To put it simply, they just don't have the guts. So in the end, only a few people make money, while 99% of people are still debating whether to enter the market.
