A founder of a certain exchange recently shared an interesting perspective — over the past decade or so, simply stacking Bitcoin without overthinking has become the most rewarding move.



He also cited data: this naive holding strategy has created value that exceeds 99% of startup projects in the market. Does that sound a bit counterintuitive? Many people rack their brains trying to find the next 100x coin or participate in various DeFi mining, but in the end, it’s often better to just hold Bitcoin steadily.

Of course, this applies to the past ten-plus years. But it must be admitted that simple strategies sometimes outperform complex operations, especially in this market.

Nothing wrong with that, just a late realization. It should have been understood a long time ago; fussing around is not as good as holding tightly. Bitcoin will never betray, everything else is just a harvesting machine for chives. Just listen, only a few can truly persist. Complex operations? Haha, most are just self-deception. That’s why I bought coins last year with my eyes closed, haha. Human nature is greed, always thinking about getting rich overnight, ultimately dumbfounded. It sounds counterintuitive, but the data is right there, how can you argue? Simple = boring, but boring = making money, the market is just this crazy.

I'm damn regretful now. Why did I think about trading leverage and altcoins back then? A bunch of people chasing the dream of getting rich, and I should have just honestly hoarded Bitcoin. Honestly, the more I try to make quick money, the less I succeed; instead, doing nothing and just holding has made me rich. So, can I still get on board now? Oh my God. These startup projects are all just to scalp retail investors; it's better to just hold coins and be at ease. It's truly incredible. I should have listened to this advice nine years ago. Hodl believers have won, I admit defeat.

I was just saying, after all the talk—closing my eyes and accumulating coins is still the most invincible strategy. Every day I see people dealing with 100x coins, mining, lending, and after one round, I lose everything while they’ve already won big. Honestly, the simpler the approach, the more profitable it is. I believe in this rule. Wait, are his data reliable? Or is he just making up stories again? It's really just survivor bias—no one mentions those who are still stuck holding coins. That's true, but it's also a hindsight game. Who can predict ten years into the future? Right now, I just want to know if I can keep using this old method. Alright, I admit defeat. My DeFi operations were really a waste of effort. The best investment in history is doing nothing—it's hilarious.
