In terms of trading, the trick is not to hold assets for eternity but to take advantage of the ups and downs to generate returns.

Many people say that you missed Bitcoin at $1,000 or Ethereum at $500. This phrase comes up often. But what we almost always forget to say is a simple thing: even if you had bought at that time, it is very likely that you would have sold well before the peaks.
The reality is that the majority of people who bought BTC in 2013 sold it in 2014 or 2015. Often at a loss. Sometimes just to recover their investment. Very few held on until 2020 or 2021. Those who did are not the norm; they are exceptions. We talk a lot about them, but we almost never talk about all those who exited too early.
