Bitcoin is a game of patience

If you try to time the market, the odds are stacked against you. Here's why: If you exclude just the top 10 best-performing days each year, Bitcoin would be down on average every single year. Yes, you read that right. And if you exclude the top 10 biggest point-gain days? Bitcoin would be down even more each year. This means that the majority of Bitcoin's gains come in just a handful of days - days you cannot predict. If you're out of the market when those moments happen, you miss out on the exponential upside. The lesson? Patience pays. Timing the market is nearly impossible, but time in the market is what builds real wealth, just like in the stock market. The people who have earned big with BTC aren't the ones trying to trade every dip and spike. They're the ones who held through volatility, ignored the noise, and stayed focused on the long-term picture. submitted by /u/Mercurius88888 [link] [comments]
