On Christmas Day, the founder of a leading exchange posed a question on the X platform, which immediately ignited the crypto community—post views skyrocketed to 136,000. The question was quite piercing: seeing Bitcoin's price hitting new highs, are you regretting "not entering the market earlier"?

But he then revealed a truth that bursts the bubble. The early investors who truly made big money were not the ones rushing in when the market was exploding and prices were hitting the peak. On the contrary—they were quietly accumulating little by little when the entire market was filled with fear and doubt.

This sounds simple, but the logic behind it hits the soft spot of most people. We are always swayed by market sentiment, rushing to follow others' profits, only to regret it when we realize we caught the last ride. Those who truly achieve excess returns never rely on reactive actions like chasing highs and selling lows, but maintain clarity and firmly believe in their judgment even when the whole world is shouting "It's over."

So this Christmas sharing might not just be a motivational quote for those experiencing market volatility, but a real wake-up call. Let go of anxiety over short-term fluctuations, return to the original intention of investing and the essence of market cycles—perhaps this is the secret to lasting longer.
