Those who've been grinding in crypto for years without seeing major gains? They're actually sitting on a goldmine waiting to detonate.
Look, it might feel rough right now. The wins haven't materialized. But here's what most people miss—the accumulated knowledge, the battlefield experience, the scars from bear markets, the lessons learned from failed projects—all of this compounds into something invaluable.
When the next bull run hits, these battle-tested veterans won't be hunting for tips on Twitter. They'll move with conviction. They'll recognize patterns others can't see. Experience isn't just data; it's the difference between surviving and thriving in the next cycle.
It's not a matter of luck anymore. It's timing meeting preparation.

After all these years, still haven't made any money? I think this is just the prelude to a big breakthrough.

analyzed this thoroughly and ngl, the framing here has some red flags. "goldmine waiting to detonate"? that's pretty loaded language for what's essentially just... holding bags longer. experience matters, sure, but this reads like cope for people underwater rn.

After all these years of not making money, you've actually already won; you just didn't realize you had won.

ngl, every bridge hack i've seen traces back to someone who "had conviction" about their routing strategy. experience cuts both ways—yeah you learn patterns, but you also learn how to rationalize bad positions. seen too many vets get liquidated believing their own mythology.

Veterans who have been struggling for so many years without making money are actually waiting for an explosion... Flowers always have to stay in the soil before they bloom.

After all these years, it still hasn't taken off. To put it simply, it's just accumulating ammunition.

According to research, the so-called "accumulation during the silent period" actually overlooks a key variable—data shows that in every bear market, over 73% of long-term holders' final returns do not significantly outperform new entrants. This involves the path dependence effect in psychology. It is worth noting that experience itself is not a linear gain; more often, survivor bias is at play.

Only the true players are still holding on in the bear market, and this statement is correct.

There's nothing wrong with what you said; only those who have endured the cold winter truly understand the real deal.
