The hard truth
Bitcoin has a brutal but beautiful way of teaching life lessons most assets never do.
It punishes short-term thinking hard. Chase quick flips? Get wrecked by volatility, FOMO buys at tops, or panic sells at bottoms. Day-trading it or trying to time every dip usually ends in frustration (or worse).
But flip the script to patience and persistence, and Bitcoin starts rewarding you like nothing else.
HODL through the noise, the 50-80% drawdowns, the endless “this time it’s different” FUD cycles… and history shows the patient ones win big. The longer you hold, the more the protocol’s fixed supply, growing adoption, and monetary hardness compound in your favor.
It’s not just about price—it’s rewiring your brain for low time preference. Delayed gratification. Building resilience. Valuing the long game over instant dopamine.
In a world obsessed with quick wins, Bitcoin quietly filters for the persistent. And those who stick it out? They don’t just get richer—they become antifragile.
