The confidence of long-term holders

Investors who stick to their positions are testing an old adage — as long as the conviction is strong enough, there is room for growth. A target price of 500k? For true HODLers, this is not a pipe dream but an expectation based on confidence.

The trend of these meme coins often unfolds like this — retail investors who look down on them early on gradually become bagholders, while those who have been early and remain unaffected by short-term fluctuations end up laughing last. The market loves to slap those who frequently cut losses.

The key still lies in the mindset of holding. Whether one can add to their position during a pullback, and whether they can stand firm when public opinion reverses, are the true dividing lines between winners and laggards.

Really, as long as you hold on, you'll win. Those who frequently cut their losses are just giving us money.

Early investors are finally laughing, this is reality When you mention 500k, some people get impatient. You should have gotten used to it long ago Adding positions? I'm almost out of bullets haha Sticking to your plan during a pullback is key. Honestly, 99% of people can't do it

Uh... 500k, is that real? I'm still worried about doubling my investment. --- Early ambushes are indeed satisfying. I should have gone all in last year. --- Adding to the position? Give me a break, I've almost lost all my principal. --- It's easy to say, but who dares to add when the real correction happens? --- When the mentality collapses, what's the point of talking about winners or losers? Just black screen. --- I would have already run when public opinion reversed if I was holding on. --- Isn't the confidence of HODLers just gambling luck? Don't dress it up so fancy. --- I heard this last year, but I'm still trapped now.
