SURVIVE
One of the biggest mistakes people make when investing in crypto is treating it like an “active game” when it’s actually meant to be played passively (for the most part).
Take the recent price action, for example.
Bitcoin has been chopping in the same range for weeks.
Most Alts?
After the big drop, they have been just sitting at the same levels, waiting for the market to pick a clear direction.
The ones who know how to play this game understand that these boring periods are golden opportunities:
> Plan future moves.
> Map out possible scenarios.
> Reflect on past mistakes.
> Refine your craft.
They do all that while limiting their moves in the market.
Sure, they might rotate some capital or slightly adjust position sizes.
But they don’t mess around much, because they know that waiting is a core skill in investing—and overtrading (especially when there isn’t a clear market trend) is a recipe for disaster.
On the other hand, the rookies are impatient.
They feel like they need to do something every day to be successful.
So what do they do?
> Sell strong projects that aren’t moving for new shiny coins that are pumping (usually buying the top).
> Panic sell cause they see bunch of morons posting doomsday charts.
> FOMO into random crappy coins because of a viral thread at 2 AM.
> Chase every new narrative like headless chickens.
> Focus all their attention to the 1H charts while completely ignoring the bigger picture.
Etc.
Why?
Because they haven’t realized one simple truth:
In investing, boredom is where the money is made.
The ones who can sit on their hands during times like these, the ones who resist the urge to constantly messing with their portfolios every five minutes—are usually the ones who walk away with life-changing profits.
Like, look at the pros.
They don’t scalp every 5-minute candle or jump on every new “100x narrative.”
They position themselves early, craft a plan, and then do the hardest thing of all:
They wait.
> Boring now.
> Euphoric later.
That’s the game.
So, next time you feel that itch to do something just for the sake of it, while the market isn’t giving you any clear signal:
> Take a breath.
> Close your charts.
> Zoom out.
And remind yourself:
Patience pays more than action in this industry.
The big moves are coming.
But if you keep overtrading, you’ll be out of the game before they arrive.
