People in the cryptocurrency world have actually found that after so many years of trading, the returns aren't as good as hoarding. Take a friend of mine who entered the market in 2016. At the time, he had 400 Bitcoin and 100,000 Litecoins.
At the time, he wasn't very knowledgeable and might have sold his Bitcoin after it increased fivefold. If he had held on to it, he would be financially independent now.
But now it's 2024, six years later, and he doesn't have a single Bitcoin. He feels incredibly miserable (or maybe not miserable, but unhappy).
It would have been better to hoard Bitcoin. Otherwise, 400 Bitcoins would be worth over $28 million now. With Litecoin currently trading at $100, that would mean $10 million. Combined, his assets would have reached $200-300 million, allowing him to retire early and travel the world. $TUT
