Recently, many newcomers have been saying:
'I bought Bitcoin, why hasn't it risen yet?'
'Did I buy too late, missing the good times?'
'Are there really people making money in crypto?'
Actually, you didn't buy too late,
It's not bad luck either,
But you haven't truly understood: 'Holding' is the key to making big money.
✅ First look at the data: The ones who really make money are those who can hold on.
Let me give you two real examples:
📈 Bitcoin
In 2015, 1 BTC ≈ $200
In 2020, it rose to $9,000
In 2024, breaking through $100,000
From $200 to $100,000 is 500 times
⚠️ But please note:
The vast majority of people haven't made it to the end
Buying and selling on small fluctuations, panicking on dips, getting thrown off the train
🧠 Root of the problem: Do you really understand what 'holding' means?
Many people think 'holding' just means 'not selling'.
But in the crypto world, true 'holding' means:
Have faith: Know what you are buying, and don't fear volatility
Have a plan: Don't swap coins or liquidate because of short-term fluctuations
Have the time: Able to hold for years, not just days
Simply put:
Holding doesn't mean 'unable to move', but 'mindful and steady'.
🧩 Why can't you hold on?
1️⃣ You don't really understand what you bought
If you don't understand the value, history, and supply-demand logic of Bitcoin,
Naturally, you won't withstand the test of volatility.
2️⃣ You bought impulsively based on short videos and social media 'enthusiasm'
'I buy because others say it will rise', but then doubt life when it drops right after buying.
3️⃣ You are using a 'trading' mindset, not an 'asset-holding' mindset
You trade on short-term fluctuations, but hold for long-term value.
📊 Let's see what those who can hold on are doing?
Some invest in BTC monthly, regardless of price, just accumulating
Someone bought it in 2018 and forgot, waking up to find millions in their account
Some have allocated BTC + USDT + ETH, and don't touch anything else
They are not smarter than you, but:
Understanding earlier: Asset growth relies on time, not trading frequency.
🧭 What is the correct approach?
✅ First choose the right assets (like Bitcoin, Ethereum)
✅ Don't go all in, pair some USDT for a buffer
✅ Formulate the 'dumbest strategy' - regular investment + long-term holding + not frequently switching
There are no 'smartest' people in the crypto world,
Only the most stable ones can hold on.
‼️ Written in the end
If you haven't made money yet, don't doubt yourself,
It's just that you might not have understood yet:
The real winners don't rely on frequent trading, but on seeing the direction clearly + holding on.
