Shout out to everyone holding the line when things got quiet. The ones who showed up every single day without expecting fireworks. Who stayed positioned for the long game instead of chasing noise.

That's where the real respect goes. Not to the hot takes or the timing calls, but to the people still grinding, still believing in the cycle, still building through the bear phase.

The crypto space rewards patience. Always has.

According to the incentive mechanism design in the white paper, this long-term holder behavior pattern is actually a Nash equilibrium solution in Token economics. It is worth noting that historical data shows that the profit distribution of steadfast participants in a bear market follows a power-law distribution rather than a normal distribution — which precisely confirms Vitalik's assertion that "patience is capital."

Only those still mining during a bear market are true crypto people.

On-chain data shows that wallet addresses holding coins without moving them have indeed survived the most difficult few months. In terms of contract interaction frequency, the true long-term players have long since turned off their transactions. What does this indicate? It shows that they don't care about short-term fluctuations. The interesting part is that these silent holders are the ultimate winners, as expected.
