The true lesson of the market is not just about having money, but about cultivating three essential virtues: clear direction, absolute patience, and, most critically, capital deposited in the fund when others panic. Unfortunately, human behavior does not change with cycles. Those who fall into the trap of anxiety during times of uncertainty will do so again next time, and the next. Here lies the true paradox: anxiety persists precisely because you are still in the game.

Let’s consider the historical facts. In 2023, when Bitcoin’s price hit its bottom around $25,000, many did not have the capital or the psychological right to be nervous. Ethereum faced similar challenges. And altcoins, well, those simply do not offer a survival opportunity. The market becomes relentless: the big slice of Bitcoin is not enough to keep the player alive; Ethereum also does not provide stability for those who do not exit in time; and altcoins, ultimately, are the quick route to financial disaster. The fundamental question is whether you have the courage to wait patiently in the background, or if anxiety will consume you first.
