Have you noticed this phenomenon—nowadays, everything is about wanting instant results, craving immediate effects, and when things don't go as planned, falling into a pit of anxiety.
Especially in the investment field, this mindset is particularly deadly. We live in an era of rapid pace, with information explosion, market fluctuations, and countless wealth stories, making it hard to calm down. Buying a coin, participating in a new project, all want to see doubled returns immediately. Unable to wait a few days, feeling restless, eager to get rich overnight. But the reality is, this impatient mentality is most likely to lead us to make wrong decisions at critical moments—selling at lows, chasing highs, blindly following the trend.
Those who truly understand investing, however, possess a rare patience. They understand that markets have cycles, projects have growth phases, and wealth accumulation requires the power of compound interest over time. Holding firm in a bear market, buying during volatility, exercising restraint before temptations—this is true wisdom.
Therefore, investing is not about speed but about mindset. Patience is not only a quality but also a competitive advantage. Haste makes waste; this old saying remains true in investing.

That's a great point. I was actually scammed like that before, and I really regret selling at a low point.

That's right. I noticed this every day by looking at on-chain data. Those wallets that are selling at a loss are basically the same group of people, panic selling at lows and FOMO buying at highs, cycling back and forth... Based on my analysis, these people's transaction tracking records are like a "Leek's Autobiography."
The truly holding big players, their tokens in the wallet stay inactive for months, then suddenly double in a month. The difference is just too obvious.

Honestly, this is just making fun of me haha. I buy a new coin, and if it doesn't double in three days, I get anxious. As soon as I sell a little, it takes off. How many times has this happened, and I still can't change it.

That's right, but I've heard this ten times... The real problem is, holding through a bear market for three or five years, only to find that all the coins you chose have died—that's true despair.

That's true, but most of the people around me who made money were forced to stay calm, either because they were trapped or ran out of money to continue trading.

You hit the nail on the head. I'm that kind of unlucky person who has been cut countless times, haha. I sold at a low point with a trembling hand and now I regret it to death. Mindset is really more valuable than skills.

That's right, the problem is that most people can't do it, and I often mess up myself.
