Market time beats everything

Honestly? I care more about your time in the markets than your PNL. Doesn't matter if you've taken heavy losses or haven't made a dime yet—what matters is that you've been grinding, learning, adapting. That experience? That's gold.

I've put in 6 years myself. And what I've learned isn't something you can shortcut. The bear markets teach you humility. The bull runs test your discipline. The sideways chop teaches patience. Every cycle adds layers to how you read the market.

You don't need massive gains to be valuable to this space. What you need is real battlefield time—the kind where you've seen volatility, managed risk, and kept showing up. That's the person worth listening to.

Really, I just fall for this... After 6 years, I lack nothing except for those who have truly endured the bear market to speak.

Rooted in the crypto world for six years, I've seen too many people get rich overnight and go bankrupt overnight. Honestly, it's better to be steady and work hard. I totally agree with this. Losing money is actually the best tuition; those who haven't tasted a bad deal are the ones at risk.

That's right, 6 years of experience definitely make a difference. I started in 2018 and lost so much that I became numb.

It's been 6 years with the same spiel, I'm tired of hearing it... but honestly, there's nothing wrong with it.

You're absolutely right, that's how the crypto world is. Only those who endure are truly valuable. --- Six years, huh? I always wondered why some people are so experienced in market analysis. Turns out, it's all built on painful lessons. --- Don't just focus on pnl, brother. The ones who really make money are those veteran players who have survived three or five bull and bear cycles. --- That's why beginners always cut their losses—probably never been beaten up in a bear market. --- The most admirable are those who have cut their losses 20 times but still dare to keep trading—that's who I want to follow. --- Market time cost is the most expensive; you can't buy experience with money.
