What if everyone just committed to holding their positions regardless of what happens? Through the rallies, through the crashes, through all the noise in between. Sounds simple on paper, but in reality most people panic sell at the worst moments—that's when conviction gets tested. The ones who actually make it through market cycles aren't necessarily the smartest traders; they're just the ones stubborn enough to stick with their thesis when sentiment flips. Whether it's Bitcoin grinding sideways or altcoins getting rekt, the question always comes back to: do you actually believe in what you're holding, or are you just gambling on momentum? Because if you can't sit through the red days without second-guessing yourself, you probably shouldn't be in this space.

Well said, but that's just nonsense... Few people can truly stick with it.

You're so right. The group of people who preach HODL start cutting losses at a 20% dip—it's hilarious.

Sounds nice, but when it hits the limit down, everyone is a paper hand.

It sounds good, but the reality is that most people simply can't hold on, including myself.

That's right, but I just want to ask—how many of you can really do it? I used to tell myself the same thing back then, but after that 2018 wave, I went from all-in to cutting losses, and I'm still paying off debts now. Holding positions seems easy, but when you see your account shrink by 70% at 3 a.m., who can stay calm? Only those who truly believe or not, are the ones who survive the bull market.

That's right, but I've seen too many people say they'll hodl to the end, only to start cutting losses when it drops 20%, which really cracks me up.
