Hello everyone, I am the person who often stays up late watching K-line charts.



Today I want to discuss a topic that might hit many people's hearts—do you really trust the stories of "waiting"?

I reviewed the records of the 2021 market rally and was surprised to find that those who actually made big profits relied very little on "waiting." How did those hundredfold or thousandfold returns come about? Not by sitting and waiting for the market to move on its own.

Let's look at their paths:

From 2017 to 2019, they were trapped, cut, and then got back up. But they didn't idle—they wrote analyses, built communities, accumulated followers, and increased their influence. When the 2021 bull market started, their knowledge and appeal turned into market power. Those who quietly worked during the bear market suddenly seemed to have a cheat code in the bull market.

Now, at the beginning of 2026, I observe two completely different groups.

One group keeps saying: "Waiting for the ETF approval"

nah this "just wait" narrative is pure cope tbh... opportunity cost alone would've wrecked those bagholders lol. the real alphas were literally grinding basis points while everyone else doom-scrolled

Waiting for the ETF crowd, really... I think they're just self-deluding here. Wake up, brothers, the market isn't going to fall from the sky.

Waiting for ETF approval is getting old, I’ve heard that phrase too many times. The real alpha still has to be dug out by yourself... The days of watching K-line charts late at night are truly worthwhile.

Wait a minute, this logic is a bit backwards... Back then, they needed to have popularity and a fan base to ride the wave in the bull market, not purely rely on "initiative".

Damn, this is the difference... Those who wait are always waiting, while true winners are already building influence.
