The market is always filled with noise. Some say ASTER will fall to the bottom, others believe FIL will eventually go to zero. But behind these statements lies the most painful truth in the history of crypto investing.

Do you remember that early investor from 2017? At that time, CZ's BNB white paper wasn't even completed, yet he invested 2 million USD. After launch, he received 2 million tokens as an airdrop. At today's prices, that asset is worth 14 billion USD.

But what was the reality? In 2017, when regulatory rumors started to spread, he panicked—sold everything and cashed out 12 million USD. 2 million turned into 12 million, a 6x return on the surface. From a financial statement perspective, he broke even. But in terms of changing his life? He forever missed out on that 14 billion USD.

This story is being repeated by countless people.

When ASTER drops 70% from its high, are you panicking? When FIL oscillates within a range repeatedly, are you starting to doubt the entire cloud storage logic? Many people make the same choice as that investor at this moment.

The crypto market uses volatility to cleanse the impatient and rewards those who truly look far ahead with time. Bitcoin once retraced 93%, that was a real test. Now, what is a 70% retracement? It’s just the market filtering people out.

Do you think ASTER will become the next BNB in the DEX track? Do you believe FIL's cloud storage demand will push it to $400? Maybe not, but what if it does? The key is not in prediction but in whether you can hold on to your conviction amidst the noise.
