You have two options if you want to succeed in crypto:
- Believe in something (hold good projects for long periods of time, ignore the noise)
- Believe in nothing (maximize profits, trade everything).
As for going from zero to significant capital, almost everyone I know did it by choosing the first option.
It takes a huge amount of skill to become an exceptional trader who will outperform holders who are good at picking good assets.
As a result, holders usually outperform traders with enough luck.
Many people want to play the role of traders, but in reality they should be holders, and end up spending years in crypto only to come away with mental illness.
