The Market Doesn’t Reward the Smart — It Rewards the Patient
In every market cycle, the same illusion appears again and again:
that the smartest people will win.
People assume that those with the highest IQ, the most complex models, the deepest technical analysis, or the fastest reactions are the ones who consistently make money. But history tells a very different story.
Markets do not reward intelligence alone.
They reward patience, discipline, and the ability to stay when others leave.
This is uncomfortable to admit, especially in crypto — a space obsessed with speed, alpha, and being “early.” Yet, if you study who actually survives and compounds over time, one pattern becomes painfully clear:
The market punishes brilliance without patience,
and quietly rewards average thinkers who can wait.
