People who started Ethereum in 2015 with a "all-in" strategy now have a net worth of 200 million — this is not a joke, it's a real wealth legend.

Just look at this curve: from 10,000 to 1 million, then to 14 million, then crashing down to 390,000. Afterwards, it rose again to 30 million, 1.2 million, 93 million... Every plunge feels like a heart stopping, every surge makes people want to run away. This roller coaster tests not just technical skills, but human nature.

The harshest question is actually simple: when the market halves, can you still hold? When it’s going crazy, can you resist the temptation to sell?

Only those who truly believe can do it. Market interest rates rise and fall, economic storms come and go — for long-term holders, these are just noise. The real winners are those who can hold tight during despair and stay true to their original intentions during celebration.

Will the next 200 million story be yours? The key lies in this one thought — to believe, or not to believe.

honestly, the volatility porn is wild but like... if you zoom out to the adoption curve metrics, those 2015 eth stackers were just in mile 3 of a ultra-marathon. everyone's obsessing over the drawdowns when they should be tracking ecosystem momentum instead. tbh the real question isn't whether you can hodl through the noise—it's whether you even understand *why* you're holding in the first place.

Can you really hold on? It's easy to say. I'm just asking, how many people didn't cut their losses when they were cut in half?

To be honest, people who went all-in in 2015 are probably schizophrenic now... That kind of volatility is just damn ridiculous to watch. Anyway, I don't have the guts for it. I kept bouncing back and forth between 390,000 and 30 million, and I already closed my position.

Buddy, this curve looks like an electrocardiogram. Every time it peaks, I want to cut my losses; when it drops to the bottom, I want to buy the dip. Human nature truly cannot withstand the test. To put it simply, the floor price is always determined by conviction, not technical analysis. The real winners are those who can resist temptation and are not disturbed by noise; everything else is an illusion. The people who went all-in in 2015 now fully demonstrate what is called the "Schrödinger's Bull Market"—they made money but also lost countless nights of sleep. Do you ask if I believe it? Honestly, I went all in, but I am also mentally prepared for zero. This is the valuation model of artworks in the Web3 era. By the way, everyone who has experienced this roller coaster will shed some skin; choosing is a thousand times more important than effort.
