#数字资产动态追踪 An investor bought Apple stock in November 2011. Over ten years, this single investment account now has an unrealized profit of 1881.8% — which translates to an annualized return of about 24%, with a total profit of over $34 million.



Stories like this of long-term holding are also common in the crypto asset community. The returns from holding Bitcoin and Ethereum from early days to now have actually far surpassed traditional assets. Of course, choosing the right target is just one aspect; more importantly, it's the mindset — being able to withstand fluctuations along the way and not being swayed by short-term rises and falls.

An annualized 24% may not sound particularly high, but from another perspective, compounding over ten years results in a different figure. That’s why many seasoned investors emphasize that "time is the best friend." In the crypto market, some people buy the dip and sell at the top, trading frequently, but ultimately, they often perform worse than those who quietly hold their positions. $ETH $BTC

The luck involved in early bottom-fishing is too significant; frankly, it's just survivor bias.

Honestly, this is a real-life example of the power of compound interest. A 24% annualized return sounds normal, but with compounding over ten years, it skyrockets. Do you understand this math?

Really, those who got in early are all winners. The question is, who can hold on for ten years without making a move?

Basically, it's just winning by doing nothing; early investors just ignore it altogether.

Basically, it's just lying flat and making money. I've already figured it out long ago.

To be honest, the 24% annualized figure looks average, but over ten years of compound interest, it becomes truly impressive. That's why I don't really trade much.

To be honest, I've heard this kind of story too many times. The key is that most people simply can't do it; their mindset gets stuck.
