Looking at those hot investment products, it's easy to fall into the "bubble" thinking trap. But true long-term investors know clearly—holding onto an asset not only requires enduring the long-term sideways price movement but also the psychological test during price declines. This ordeal can last for years.
Whether holding traditional assets or cryptocurrencies, the principle remains the same. Volatility won't change because of your thoughts, but your mindset will determine whether you can hold on until that moment.
Respect to all long-term holders who stick to the end. 🥂

What does it mean to stay sideways for years? The key is whether the node stability can withstand crashes. The real test is the verification efficiency and network reliability. Mindset is just superficial; the fundamental technical aspects are the decisive factors.

Enduring sideways trading is true skill; don't think about getting rich overnight.

Being stuck in a sideways market for years can really drive people crazy, but those who panic sell are always the cannon fodder.

This is the truth: most people can't endure the sideways market for those few years; as soon as they cut losses, it rises.

The years of sideways trading almost drove me crazy. Really, only now do I realize that this is a test of mentality.
That's right, if volatility doesn't change, it all depends on whether your mindset is strong enough.
Persistence is the hardest part; most people can't endure those three or five years.
Long-term holders are all crazy, but the kind of crazy that’s right.
Haha, this message is for those friends who buy the dip and then cut their losses.
Only those who can endure sideways trading and declines deserve to be called investors; others are just gamblers.
Mindset is more important than any technical analysis.

It's been over three years of sideways trading, and the liquidity depth of the trading pairs is still shrinking... This is the real test.

Hanging around for a few years really drives you crazy, but this is probably the fate of long-term holders.

The years of sideways trading were indeed tough. I broke down a few times before realizing that this is all part of the cultivation.
