How does someone who never touches memecoins make money in every bull run?

Some people treat Cryptocurrency Trading like throwing dice in a casino, while others see it as a check that will be cashed in ten years.

Recently, I talked about a person - Karnika E. Yashwant, known in the circle as Mr. KEY. He dropped out of school at 14 and now manages several Web3 companies with over 150 people in Dubai, holding advisory roles in a bunch of projects.

What is the most magical thing about him? He has never bought meme coins.

It's not that I missed it; I simply have no interest at all.

What does he think about this market

Last time we met, he threw in a remark: “I don't look at the ups and downs tomorrow when I buy, I only look at how much it's worth in ten years.”

It sounds pretty pretentious, but he really did it that way.

“I bought Ethereum when it was 100 dollars, and I also bought it when it was 3500 dollars. I didn't even blink when it dropped below 1000 dollars. Why? I think Ethereum has always been underestimated, while Bitcoin is a million-level asset in my eyes; it just hasn't reached that price yet.”

This is not a decision driven by market sentiment. It is a framework.

While others are still calculating whether BTC can surge to 175,000 or drop back to 45,000, he is already thinking about what will happen five steps ahead.

He has a saying that I remember clearly: “You profit when you buy, and selling is just cashing out. If you know its value in ten years, then you've already won, it's just that the price hasn't caught up yet.”

It sounds like chicken soup, but the logic is sound.

Why Most People Lose

He spoke bluntly: “They are born with no instinct to win.”

It's not mockery, it's factual observation.

“I want to get rich, but I don't want to be the kind of person who can endure pain, tolerate uncertainty, and stay clear-headed in chaos. Everyone says, 'If only I had bought BTC in 2012,' but most people ran away when it doubled because they lacked confidence.”

Wealth is not chased; it is endured. The problem is that most people cannot endure.

What is his system?

It's not complicated, but it's hard to achieve.

Do your own research Do not follow KOL recommendations or chase hot stories. For each asset, he needs to understand the technology, team, token economics, and timing. If he can't explain it clearly, he won't touch it.

See how smart money moves Retail investors chase highs and cut losses, while institutions have already set up their positions. They observe capital flows and enter the market before the crowd reacts, withdrawing before sensing anything amiss.

On a decadal basis A 40% drop in the short term? It doesn't matter. What he cares about is where this thing will be in ten years. This kind of time frame allows him to withstand fluctuations that 99% of people cannot.

Belief is more important than convenience It's not about buying just to make a profit; it's about believing it's worth the wait before buying.

Simplified Information Source Filter out the noise, streamline your social circle, and focus only on the truly valuable signals.

Do not touch meme coins It's not that I don't understand the game, it's that I'm simply not interested in participating. “If you want dopamine stimulation, go gamble, but don't think of it as a way to accumulate wealth.”

He only buys Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a few infrastructure projects. The reasons? Practicality, foresight, and macro beliefs.

To put it simply, in one sentence.

There are no shortcuts in cryptocurrency, no magical tokens, and no “get rich overnight secrets.”

The key is the mindset. Mr. KEY's story is not about rushing ahead, but about always standing in the right position.

The last thing he said was quite interesting: “You won't get rich before you succeed; you'll succeed before you get rich.”

In this market, success is primarily a mindset. Everything else is secondary.
