The crypto market, to put it simply, is very real.

It doesn't care about sentiment or your background. I've seen too many people in their early twenties—some still fussing over rent and bills, while others have already paid their down payment and have car keys in their pockets. Sometimes, the difference isn't that big.

The key isn't about who can endure hardship better, but about who seizes the right position first.

The proof from Bitcoin's market over the years is: what is truly scarce is never that kind of "lying down and winning" luck. What is scarce? An ecosystem that allows small funds to participate and ordinary people to try their luck. Relying on rhythm, discipline, and that calm patience, gradually turning one's time cost into wealth.

But there's also no warmth here. Those who impulsively bet, go all-in—surely run the fastest— but they also exit quickly.

I've always held the view: this market doesn't reward the most aggressive. It only favors those who last the longest.

The moment of explosive market movement may seem sudden, but that's not the case. The fork in the road of fate was laid out long before. Some have prepared their supplies and are waiting; others are still watching the show. Opportunities have always been there; the problem is, when they truly appear, they never stop to wait for anyone.
