Four years of grinding with nothing to show. Then year five hits different—life completely flips.

That's the thing about persistence. Most people bail before they see the payoff. The ones who make it? They're not special. They just didn't quit when it got boring or brutal.

In crypto especially, you watch others take profits while you're still accumulating. You see bear markets that make you question everything. Then one cycle later, your patience prints.

Stay the course.

Sounds familiar... Lost a lot last year, but this year is actually taking off. It really feels like just one step away. Perseverance sounds simple, but in practice, it's just constant self-doubt. The bear market in the crypto world was truly life-threatening, but luckily I didn't cut my losses. That's why they say it takes ten years to see the real results; most people won't live to see that day. That's right, only those who can endure loneliness can make money. Five years of persistence for a year of sudden wealth—worth it? Actually, it's been worth it for a long time. When others go all-in on shitcoins and make a million a month, I was still boringly accumulating. Now? Hey. It all depends on how many years you can endure. Some people will never reach that moment. I once thought I would be the one to give up, but luckily I didn't. These words hit a little hard for those who cut their losses every day.

No returns in four years, really incredible... But looking at those who have persisted in the current crypto circle, they've truly turned things around. I'm currently in the accumulation phase, feeling exhausted.

This is the daily life of a gambling addict... Losing money for four years and doubting life, then turning around and getting rich in the fifth year. Easier said than done.
