December 18, 2013—the day HODL entered the chat (blame it on a typo, not intention 😄)

Here's the thing: success isn't about being smarter or catching the perfect entry. It's about nerves.

Remember that Monday? Markets were bleeding. Panic was real. But what if you grabbed some BTC that day and just... held? Didn't refresh charts every five minutes, didn't panic-sell at 3 AM, just let time do its work?

You'd be sitting pretty right now.

The game never changed. It's always been about staying put when everything screams at you to run.

To be honest, it's when your palms are sweating that the real test begins.

Honestly, hands are much more important than the brain.

To be honest, this is the real truth. Most people die before dawn, just a little bit short.

nah but actually the psychological component was always the real alpha—empirically speaking, 90% of retail gets liquidated not by bad entries but by their own cowardice. the typo becoming doctrine is peak crypto irony tbh
