Sometimes I find myself lost in thought, wondering whether long-term investing is truly worth it, and whether being an "ally of time" is really a wise choice.

Take the A-shares market for example; if one is determined to spend time on it, it’s possible that the outcome will not be generous returns, but rather a painful loss over the long years, with all expectations turning to dust.

Now, it seems a similar drama is unfolding in the exchanges. Those altcoins on the market are mostly like unpromising "A Dou" (a historical figure known for his incompetence), and even if you hold on for three or five years, the likelihood is that you’ll end up with nothing more than a futile effort, earning no real gains.

It's like secondary coins such as Zen and LPT, which once made people a lot of money, but now? Profits are plummeting, and it feels like riding a roller coaster, suddenly falling from the clouds to the depths, leaving one with a bitter taste in their mouth.
