After listening to a conversation about crypto entrepreneurship, I wasn't particularly moved by any catchphrase.



What truly left a deep impression on me was that sense of long-term stability—the time scale on which a person thinks.

Many people talk about starting a business or projects, essentially just trying to find out "where the next trend is" or "what the next narrative will be." But you'll find some people are completely different—they think on a different cycle, not on the same dimension as most.

This difference may seem subtle, but it is actually crucial. Short-term thinkers are always chasing narratives, switching tracks, and looking for opportunities to make a splash. Those who truly go far, have already been building their long-term framework. They are not ignoring opportunities, but have the patience to wait for opportunities that align with their logic.

This sense of stability is often more valuable than any burst of success.

Really, long-termism is easy to talk about, but sticking to it is a hell of a challenge. Most people simply can't endure that boring period. --- Agreed, but the problem is, who calculates the opportunity cost of waiting? Some people just can't wait. --- That's why I look down on those who shout about the next big trend every day. Honestly, they lack patience and perseverance. --- Wait, isn't this logic reversible? Sometimes rapid iteration can also ride the right wave; stability doesn't always guarantee victory. --- Long-termism sounds sophisticated, but it's really just betting on the right direction and then claiming you have a framework. It's just survivor bias. --- You're not wrong, but the premise is that you have to live until you see the long-term results. These days, many projects die before dawn. --- No matter how perfect the framework is, without capital reserves, it's all nonsense. Don't dress survival issues up as philosophy. --- Forget it, it still depends on talent and luck. When it comes to thinking frameworks, if you don't catch the right trend, it's all talk.

That's right, long-termism is truly the only way to survive in the crypto world.

Oh, this really hits the nail on the head... I've seen too many people ask about the next hot trend every day, only to get caught up chasing the wind and fail. Really, a long-term framework may seem boring, but it's actually what the people who last until the end are quietly doing. Short-term thinkers do tend to rise quickly, but it's also easy for them to be knocked down... Waiting is more tiring than chasing, but the opportunities that come from waiting are more solid, I agree. But honestly, how strong must one's mental resilience be to stick to a long-term framework?

There's nothing wrong with that. Long-termism is indeed a game for the minority; most are still betting on the next wave. Those who truly make money are the ones who can withstand loneliness; not every opportunity is worth jumping on. That's why I'm still eating noodles, haha. Those who chase short-term hot trends have already blown up and are out of the game. It's not interesting.

Well said, but the reality is that most people simply can't hold on that long. Wait, you said "be patient and wait"—that sounds pretty easy, but in reality, how many can withstand a bear market and FOMO?

Well said, long-termism really is a game for winners. I've understood this through my losses. Wait, but the truth is, very few people can truly stick to it. Alright then. To be honest, most people simply can't wait; they panic as soon as the price drops. The framework is crucial, but you also need sufficient capital to endure, otherwise even long-term efforts are pointless. But on the other hand, those around me who have actually made money are indeed of this mindset, never following the herd to call trades. This is the real philosophy, not those quick wealth schemes they hype every day. Logical consistency is important. I'm looking for projects like that, so I won't keep falling into traps anymore.
