When I talk about accumulating positions, I'm referring to a specific strategy: progressively lower your average entry cost throughout the liquidity expansion phase. We're currently in what's shaping up to be an extended quantitative easing cycle—one that's likely to persist through 2028-2030. This isn't a sprint; it's a multi-year window.

Here's the thing though: if you can't commit to a 4 to 5-year investment horizon, then frankly, this game probably isn't for you. The market doesn't reward impatient capital. Those who panic-sell into dips or chase short-term noise typically end up underperforming.

The real objective is straightforward. Build your position deliberately. Use volatility as an opportunity to refine your cost basis. Stay disciplined through the cycle. The investors who succeed in crypto aren't the ones watching the daily price action obsessively—they're the ones with conviction and a clear timeline.

That's correct, if you can't endure 4-5 years, there's really no need to come.

No problem with what you said, just need to be patient. --- 4-5 years? I think many people can't even hold on for 4-5 months. --- Dipping to add positions really works, but the problem is how strong your mental resilience needs to be. --- The key is to have spare money; otherwise, you'll panic easily. --- This cycle until 2030? I feel like I hear this every year. --- Really, most people who stare at K-line charts until they go bald rarely make money; instead, those who eat, sleep, and do what they want often earn big. --- The word "discipline" sounds easy, but in practice... forget it, I won't say more. --- The hardest part in the crypto world isn't the technical aspect, but controlling your greed.

That's right, 4-5 years is hardly a long time. Those who watch K-line charts every day are destined to be eliminated.

That's right, having patience for four or five years is really something not everyone has. --- Every time someone asks me "Can I still enter now," I know they simply can't hold on that long. --- The biggest problem in the crypto world is that most people want to get rich overnight, and then they lose their composure at the first dip. --- Buying low and selling high sounds simple, but very few can stay calm during volatility. --- By 2028-2030, I honestly don't even know if I'll still be here haha. --- This article is just filtering people; those who can hold on stay, and the little guys just exit on their own. --- The hard part is whether you can really add to your position when volatility hits; most people actually can't do it.

4-5 years? Then I'll just keep working part-time.

It sounds like a common cliché, but it really hits many people's pain points... Four or five years? I calculated that by then, either you'll be rich or you'll still be on the floor. To put it nicely, how many can truly hold on... The logic of accumulating costs is good, but the premise is that the money can't run out. I agree, the biggest problem for retail investors is living by the daily chart, then being controlled by the daily K-line. If this QE cycle can really last until 2030, then those who get in now are indeed lucky. However, most people panic selling are not necessarily resistant; they just don't have that much spare money...
