How long does it take to earn the first bucket of gold in the crypto world?

Starting from now. Less than three years.

How to do it?

You need to overcome human nature.

First, don't touch contracts. Overcome greed.

Second, during the bottom range (Bitcoin $8000-$12000) hold a full position in spot trading. Overcome fear.

Third, hold firmly, do not move for about three years. Overcome impatience.

Fourth, forget about the crypto world, return to life. Overcome restlessness.

If you can achieve the above four points in the crypto world, you will basically be able to reap your first bucket of gold.

One more thing, do you think the technology for the first bucket of gold is more important or the opportunity?
