The billionaire entrepreneur has consistently pushed back against obsessing over vanity metrics—stock prices, media buzz, quarterly earnings—calling it a massive distraction from what actually matters.

His philosophy? Focus relentlessly on small, repeatable decisions you can control. Then let compounding do the heavy lifting.

This mindset applies directly to the crypto world. Too many projects chase hype cycles and short-term price movements, losing sight of fundamental development. But the ones that nail product-market fit, build genuine community trust, and execute consistently tend to win the long game.

The 2014 insights remain timeless: when you zoom out, obsessing over daily price swings or headline noise is basically noise pollution. Real wealth—whether in traditional markets or crypto—compounds quietly from disciplined, unglamorous work. Winners know this. They build accordingly.

It's a reminder that sustainable growth beats explosive hype every single time.

Sounds good, but in the crypto world, it still depends on luck and timing... Those who just keep their heads down and work without catching the bottom are the ones who lose out.

That's true, but the reality is that most people simply can't do it. Staring at the K-line chart every day is like an addiction that they can't stop.

That's true, but how many of these theories have really survived in the crypto world... Most projects are still just following the trend and chasing hot topics.

It sounds nice, but I still watch the K-line every day... Really, this time Bitcoin is about to break through, and I feel the distribution of chips is quite right.

That's true, but very few project teams can truly stick to this set of theories.

That's true, but the reality is that 99% of crypto enthusiasts are still trying to outsmart the 5-minute candlestick charts.

That's right, but 99% of people in the circle are still watching the K-line, and they can't wake up.

Exactly right, but too many people are obsessively watching the charts every day, driven crazy by the coin price fluctuations, and completely unable to see whether the project itself is worth it or not.

To be honest, I've heard this theory too many times, but there are very few projects that truly practice it. Most people in the crypto world still keep their eyes on the K-line, while claiming to be long-term believers.
