Being "early" doesn't necessarily mean you have to be there from the beginning.

I didn't mint CryptoPunks during the NFT run (I wasn't super early), but I was early enough in 2021 to ride the wave.

Sure, the disproportionate gains come to those who are super early, but as long as you're EARLIER than the majority of people, you can still win.

I see a lot of people ignore certain metas because they feel they are no longer early.

It's good not to get caught up in the FOMO and avoid being exit liquidity, but a lot of times we underestimate how early we can still be in the grand scheme of things.

That’s true for certain, smaller metas and crypto in general
