Think back to 2020—that's when I shared something I genuinely wish someone had whispered to me years ago. Simple wisdom, really. Stop overthinking it. Just get started. Don't fall into analysis paralysis or chase every shiny trend.

Take the 529 plan, for instance. Boring? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

So what's happened to the market since then? The answer speaks volumes. The lesson's remained constant: don't short America. Keep it straightforward. Build positions. Hold them. The noise fades, but discipline compounds.

Really, I still remember that sentence from 2020. Don't overthink it, just get started and finish the job. The biggest problem in our circle is watching the trend, chasing the hot spots, and ending up with nothing copied. Things like 529 may seem rigid, but they do make money. Don't short the US, I've already been burned... Holding positions consistently wins, everything else is noise.

Bro, analysis paralysis is really the biggest enemy of making money. I've fallen into this trap before.

It's the same old story. It sounds good, but how many people actually stick to it? I think most people are still being brainwashed by various new concepts in the crypto world and have long forgotten the simplest principles.

Don't make it so complicated, just do it directly, really.

The advice from 2020 is still relevant now... Really, don't bother with all those fancy tricks. Just focus on mastering the fundamentals and wait for time to give you the answer.
