Have you ever wondered why some people in the crypto world can achieve steady growth while others remain stagnant? It’s not a matter of lacking opportunities; the real issue often lies elsewhere.

Looking at the profit cycle, even for relatively certain opportunities, it takes about 3 years to see a doubling of returns from purchase to realization. It sounds a bit discouraging, but this reflects a reality — the threshold for making money in the crypto space is not discovering opportunities, but whether you can truly persist.

Many people are not actually short of opportunities. During good market conditions, various potential projects and market opportunities are right in front of you. But those who can truly profit from them are often the ones who: first, are not scared by short-term fluctuations; second, dare to act at critical moments; third, have the patience to wait for the cycle to complete.

To put it simply, the answer is right in front of you — the question is whether you copy or not. Whether you can seize it depends on whether you have the resolve and execution ability. This is not just motivational talk, but the harshest truth in the crypto world.

Only 3 years to double? I can't wait any longer!

It takes 3 years to double, who can stand that... Persistence is persistence, but you need bullets to do it.

I think this is the truth, and there's no way to argue with it. After looking at so many projects, the ones who truly make money are those who can endure. Copying is pointless; the key is whether you dare to add to your position during a sharp decline. Doubling in 3 years? I feel like it's much slower than that... It sounds good, but execution is something 99% of people lack. The words "steadfastness" really hit home, truly. It's not that there are few opportunities, but that too few people can stick with it. Is it that they can't see the opportunity clearly, or even if they do, they don't dare to act. So the problem isn't in front of you, but in your mind.

Honestly, it takes 3 years to double, but I feel like I can't wait that long...

3 years? I backtested the past ten years' data, and actually 80% of the opportunities were lost in the first round of correction. On-chain data shows that less than 12% of accounts can truly stick through the entire cycle, the rest are wiped out by their own mentality. Honestly, resilience is something you can't develop without experiencing a 50% drawdown.

I need to talk about the 3-year cycle data; the sample bias is a bit large. Ask those who have persisted from 2018 until now... and you'll understand what it means to endure.
