$BTC Back in my first year in the stock market, I only had ten grand in my pocket.
I picked two stocks I had researched for ages, bought in full of hope, thinking I was finally laying the groundwork for my future.
But the young heart just can't handle boredom.
Staring at the charts every day, with no extra cash to pump in, and having to wait a whole year for dividends, I got itchy fingers and sold off the stocks I had faith in within six months, chasing after those hot stocks that were spiking faster.
And the real kicker about the market is that it always throws you a bone first. In just a few days, I made a week’s salary, and I started thinking I really understood the game.
Fast forward over a decade, and I was just chasing highs and lows, flipping stocks left and right.
Looking back, the one that truly made the most money was the only stock I held onto back then, Chunghwa Telecom 2412. It wasn’t flashy or exciting, but it steadily climbed and paid dividends year after year.
In contrast, all those frantic trades ended up with mixed results, and the returns were even worse than a bank's fixed deposit.
Eventually, I realized:
In investing, it’s not always about who’s the smartest, but who can endure the 'boredom' better.
The crypto space is no different.
Jumping in and out on short-term trades, we’ll never be faster than the whales.
Instead of chasing pumps and dumps daily, it’s better to pick a coin you truly believe in, accumulate slowly, and wait it out.
Time is often the best compounding factor.
Ten years down the line, you might just thank that patient version of yourself.
