Having navigated the crypto space for many years, I have learned one principle from repeated market crashes — the confidence to hold assets never comes from market sentiment fluctuations, but from one’s own judgment and emotional stability.

I still remember the winter of 2022, when a major project suddenly failed, causing a market stampede. The leading public chain tokens I held were cut in half. That period was indeed tough, but I didn’t regret it; instead, I spent time deeply studying the ecosystem layout of that chain — how solid its infrastructure was, how active the developer community was, and how real-world applications were progressing. As a result, by 2025, the market finally rewarded patience.

Now, the market has entered a phase of adjustment, and many people are starting to feel uneasy. But having experienced several cycles of bull and bear markets, I see through it all: short-term fluctuations are normal market behavior, and there’s no need to let a few days of candlestick patterns disrupt your rhythm. I didn’t follow the trend to cut losses but calmly revisited the original logic behind choosing this project — how strong the consensus is, whether the ecosystem’s enthusiasm remains, and if the long-term prospects have changed.

Holding assets, frankly, is a practice that goes against human nature. Many people see consolidation as a signal to escape, but in fact, it’s the perfect time for chips to settle. What truly causes panic isn’t the slowdown of the market, but a lack of confidence in one’s own judgment. Clarify your understanding, maintain your emotional bottom line, and the rest is waiting — waiting for the value to bloom.
