Yeah you are right, because the way I see it, just saying I’ve been holding Bitcoin for years doesn’t really paint the full picture if the stack itself is too small to make a real difference. There are people who have been holding since 2018, but when you check, it is barely a few hundred or may be thousands dollars worth, and in reality the profit is nice but not life changing.
Meanwhile, someone who entered just 3 or 4 years ago with a solid stack ends up way ahead of them. That is why I agree that size and time must go hand in hand, you can’t focus on only one and ignore the other. The smart play is to combine patience with consistent stacking, because that way even if you start small, over time your bag grows into something meaningful, and when the bull run comes, the rewards will actually feel worth the wait…

One major mistake some investors make is that they only think about short term profit, some focus on what they might gain in the next two or three months. They forget that the real value of investing is in the future. The sacrifices we put in today are what to bring the true rewards. Bitcoin is along term investment, that needs patience and a clear mind above quick profits.

Many people have been holding Bitcoin for years, but some still don’t see huge profits because their accumulation has been small or inconsistent. On the other hand, someone who started just two years ago could be holding more than a guy who has been in the journey for 7 years, just because their plan was not different. That’s why consistency in accumulation always matters more than how long you have been in the market.

Only the size of your stack and the regular accumulation does make a difference in your gains over time; over time doesn't necessarily mean big gains. Note that many early holders actually end up making modest profits but only because they didn't purchase enough eventually. The key is to be patient while making small regular purchases steadily so that your position is built up over years of time. In the end, caution that's too short-term will cost you in missed opportunities, and disciplined long-term thinking will let you enjoy the benefits once the market inevitably lets steam out. In the Crypto game, seniority means nothing if it is not consistently applied.

Success doesn't depend on how much you know about Bitcoin or how many years ago you invested. Bitcoin's success depends on the right way of investing and at the right time. Let's say a person has been thinking about Bitcoin for a long time. He was able to buy Bitcoin at a very low price in 2017, but he didn't hold it for a long time or continue investing for a long time. After a few days, when he saw that he had made some profit, he sold the entire BTC. But later, he couldn't buy Bitcoin at a relatively low price. So I think it was his wrong decision to sell Bitcoin after a few days. If he wanted to invest and hold Bitcoin for a long time, he would have owned a relatively large amount of Bitcoin, which would have been several times more than his previous profit.

Let's give another example: a person invested in Bitcoin in April 2021 and his investment was a large sum of money at once. At that time, the price of BTC relatively high. As a result of investing a lot of money at once, he had no money in his hand. But it turned out that later the price of Bitcoin had decreased a lot. Here, if that person had not invested a lot of money at once in the lump sum method, but had followed the DCA method and bought it monthly or weekly with a fixed amount of money, then he would have been able to buy Bitcoin for less money in 2023 when the price of Bitcoin had dropped to twenty thousand. Therefore, his average purchase price of Bitcoin would have been relatively much lower. Therefore, it is most important to invest in the right way. There are many people, but they do not invest. As a result, despite being quite knowledgeable and senior in Bitcoin, they have made relatively little profit or many have faced losses due to not investing in the right way. Therefore, investing in Bitcoin is a long-term investment and patience is very important here.
