The Market Never Rewards the Weak-Handed

Everyone talks about getting rich quick. Few actually stick around when things get messy.

Price drops? Paper hands panic sell. Bad news? They bail. A rough quarter? They're gone.

Meanwhile, the ones still standing—the ones who actually understand what they're holding—they're the ones building real wealth. Not overnight, not through luck. Through conviction.

The crypto market has never been forgiving to those who fold at the first sign of trouble. But for those with real strong hands? The compounding effect over cycles is undeniable.

It's not about being tough. It's about understanding the game and playing it right. Most don't even make it past the first dip.

Well said. Most people are paper hands, they run at the first dip. Those who truly make money are quietly accumulating at the bottom. --- People who can't hold on deserve to be educated by the market. This is the law of the jungle. --- Compound interest sounds simple, but actually requires mental resilience to implement. I think 90% of people can't achieve it. --- Every decline is a screening process. Those who remain are the true hodlers; others will be eliminated sooner or later. --- Stop always talking about getting rich quickly. That's just a pipe dream for rookies. Real strategy is holding tight. --- First crash and you run? Then you're not fit to play in this market. Cycles are just that brutal. --- I just want to know how many people can really endure a bear market. Leaving one out of ten is already good. --- Faith must be built on in-depth research, not blind gambler mentality. --- Basically, it's a gamble on whose psychological resilience is stronger. Technical analysis is all虚的. --- People who panic at the first dip should have already left. Don't waste resources here; the market loves to淘汰 such people.

Really, watching wave after wave of people cut their losses is quite uncomfortable... but it's so realistic --- Honestly, 99% of people won't survive the first bear market, that's the gap --- Those still talking about plans on paper are destined to be harvested; all I can say is they deserve it --- Those who understand holding logic are hiding at low positions, the rest are still anxious --- Market exam, those who submit their answers already know their scores --- Every plunge is a filter for true players; others are just cannon fodder --- Compound interest is a tormenting thing, but in the end, those who can endure will win --- One sentence: if you don't understand assets, don't play; exit early to avoid being harvested

It's true that only a few can really make it through. --- Every sharp decline is a time to cut losses. Where is the faith we promised? Haha --- The idea of compound interest sounds great, but in practice, when your account is shrinking, can you still hold on? --- Basically, it's a mindset issue. Most people can't withstand two or three major setbacks. --- Sticking with it is the right choice, but the premise is choosing the right assets... --- I just want to ask how many people truly "understand assets" instead of just gambling on luck. --- If you can't get through the first decline, how can you expect the compound interest effect? The ratio is really despairing. --- It sounds good, but who really understands the feeling of watching your account plunge in reality? --- Holding a strong position is impressive, but what if you chose an air coin? --- The market doesn't reward weak hands, nor does it particularly favor fools.

Haha, my friends who only buy the dip and then run away, this article is basically a mirror for you... Based on my analysis, large on-chain investors have long seen through this trick.
