In crypto markets, there's a stark difference between two mindsets.
One is glued to price charts, reacting to every candle movement, riding waves of fear and greed. Charts move up—they're euphoric. Charts crash—they panic sell. Emotions run the show.
The other quietly accumulates and holds, understanding what they actually own. They know the fundamentals, the thesis, the long game. Noise doesn't shake them.
Guess which one actually builds wealth? The second one always wins.

That's correct, but in reality, most people simply can't do the second one. On-chain data shows that retail accounts have an extremely high trading frequency, which is a clear imbalance in the game—interaction costs eat up the arbitrage space.

Sounds good, but there are very few who can really do it. I'm the kind of person who gets dizzy from looking at candlestick charts.

That's right, but I took a look at my holdings, and it seems like the first one is also making money haha

That's right, but I've also seen quite a few hodlers who ultimately lose their composure during a sudden crash, haha.

Basically, those who watch the market every day are just tools contributing transaction fees to the exchange.

To be honest, the first type of person is just giving money to the second type of person.
