Life is like rolling a snowball — the key is to find the right two things. One is wet snow, which is sticky and has a mechanism to accumulate; the other is a sufficiently long slope, giving you enough distance to accelerate. Investing in crypto assets follows this logic.

Choose the right track and timing, then persist in doing so, allowing compound interest to work over a sufficiently long cycle. Small growth, through the magic of time, will eventually lead to a qualitative leap. Those who miss early opportunities are often the ones who haven't found that true long slope.

So the question isn't how much you earn in one go, but how long you can stick with it. Let's roll the snowball together, making it bigger and bigger.

Exactly right, I'm just worried that if you find the right snowball, the slope might be too short.

You're right, but the problem is that most people can't find that long slope at all. --- Compound interest sounds easy, but how many can really stick with it? I also want to grow bigger and bigger, but the premise is to survive until that day. --- Choosing the right track indeed makes money, but choosing the wrong one means just being a runner-up. That's the reality for most people. --- The core is one sentence: time and choices. But who can truly see through the future? --- Agreed, persistence is the key. The problem is, what if your coins go to zero halfway through? --- The analogy of wet snow and a long slope is good, but in reality, snow is often not wet enough. --- It sounds very inspiring, but the biggest risk of this logic is that the snow pile suddenly collapses halfway up the mountain.

Honestly, it's easier to say to stick with it than to actually do it. I've been liquidated three times to know. Wait, isn't this indirectly implying that others didn't stick with it enough? That's a bit harsh. Long-term commitment is indeed important, but how do you determine if you're on the right track or just gambling?

That's true, but how many can really stick with it for ten years? I am the one who dropped out halfway.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds comfortable, but how many people can really stick with it until the end? I've seen too many people who start off confidently claiming they'll snowball, but as soon as the bear market hits, they run away. It still depends on individual mindset; don't just shout slogans.
