I've been in this market for eight years, watching wave after wave of people rush in, and batch after batch disappear.
Most people end up the same way—chasing the highs, adding leverage, dreaming of getting rich overnight. Then one morning, they wake up to a liquidation notice that's even more punctual than their alarm clock.
I did the opposite. I survived by "grinding it out."
Three years ago, I was holding 3000U in my hand, surrounded by voices shouting out trading calls. "Go for it!"

The word "grind" is spot on—most people fail because they're too impatient.

A life that is ground out lasts longer than one that is rushed and burns out quickly. After eight years of observation, this is all there is to show for it.

Enduring really is a true skill, but you have to be able to endure. Back when it was at 3000U, imagine how strong your mindset had to be.

Those who survive are those who persevere; those consumed by anxiety disappear. This is the whole truth I've seen over the past eight years.

pattern analysis suggests most retail gets liquidated within first bear cycle... flagged those 3000u wallets back in 2021, majority got dumped at loss. not financial advice but statistical anomaly shows 94% never survive second fomo wave. dyor always

Grinding does make money, but you also need the right mindset. Most people can't even survive their first bear market.

The word "grind" is really something else; most people can't even grind for three days, let alone three years.

Perseverance is truly a unique skill; most people can't endure those three months.
