Not today. Not tomorrow. Not even next year, perhaps.
But it'll happen.
That's the reality of real progress — in trading, in building something, in life itself. You grind through the unglamorous stuff. You take the hits. You keep your head when things get noisy. You sit tight with your edge while the world looks boring and nothing moves.
Then suddenly? Everything clicks.
The secret nobody talks about is that the boring part is where the real work happens.

Ah, isn't this just a true reflection of my years in the crypto world... Watching K-line charts every day until numb, while people around me chase the hot trends, I still stick to the fundamentals. Honestly, the most annoying question I hear is "When will it take off," and the answer is... there is no specific time, you just have to endure.

Listen, I’m really tired of those motivational quotes... but this one hit home, really. Over the past two years in the crypto world, I’ve been through this—bored to the point of wanting to vomit, and then suddenly, everything clicked. Boredom is the real skill.

Really, this is what I tell myself every day. Enduring those boring days that nobody can see is the real skill.

To be honest, this paragraph really resonated with me. After years of struggling in the crypto world, the hardest part was enduring those days when nothing moved... Most people can't wait, going all in or shoving all their chips, only to end up battered and broken. I've seen too many stories of hundredfold returns in a year, but no one talks about the three years of suffering.

Really, many people want to see that "suddenly everything clicks" moment, but they have no patience to get through the boring parts beforehand. I myself am the same way; sometimes I look at the chart and want to smash my phone when it doesn't move at all.

Wait, this is my daily life. Really, boring days are actually the most valuable, and those who shout about the market every day actually can't make money.

Really, when you're overwhelmed by noise, it's a test of your mindset. Hold on to that slight edge and wait for it to land.
