Imagine this scenario: you spot a project with genuinely solid tech foundation currently trading at 1.4M in market cap. Your thesis says it could hit anywhere from 100M to 2B within the next year.
Here's the real question though—not whether you'd believe the upside potential, but whether you'd actually have the conviction to sit through it.
Because that's where most people slip. The math looks compelling on a spreadsheet. The fundamentals check out. But when you're staring at a 50x or 100x opportunity, can you actually hold without second-guessing every dip? That psychological edge is what separates the ones who catch these moves from the ones who panic-sell at 2x.

Honestly, psychological resilience is the hardest part... When you see a 50% drop, how many people still dare to hold? There are really not many.

Basically, it's a test of mental resilience. I've seen too many people who get a 50x opportunity but sell out with just a 2x gain, and they really can't hold on.

You're absolutely right; mindset is really the biggest pitfall.

Honestly, mental resilience is really a hellish level of difficulty. I've seen too many people holding coins with perfect fundamentals, and as soon as they see a 5% dip, they start fidgeting, eventually selling at 2x... and you know what happens next, when it hits 50x, they're crying in the community.

To be honest, the real bottleneck is mindset, not some complex technical analysis.

Honestly, the biggest test is definitely your mindset, no doubt about it.
