Most people think exceptional investing means catching bottoms, timing tops, or having Buffett-level genius.
Reality check: 99.999% of us don’t have that. Nor do we need it.
I ran the numbers on what could be one of the worst investors alive - someone who only buys Bitcoin at the absolute euphoric peaks:
- 2017 ICO mania ($19,700)
- 2021 Coinbase IPO top ($64,000)
- 2021 ATH ($69,000)
- 2022 pre-Luna rally ($48,000)
- 2023 ETF rumor spike ($49,000)
- 2024 post-ETF ATH ($73,800)
Average entry: $53,916
Total invested: $60,000
Value today (BTC ~$92,500): ~$125,109
(if they didn't sell)
A literal peak-buyer doubled their money… simply by staying in the game.
This is the part nobody teaches:
Markets reward time in, not perfect timing. Patience always compounds because mistakes don’t matter when your horizon is long enough.
And if that same “worst investor” bought at normal moments - some highs, some lows, mostly in-between - their cost basis would be far lower and the outcome dramatically better.
A lot of people look at Bitcoin around ~$92K and think, “We’ll probably go lower.” Meanwhile, BTC is down ~5% in a post-halving year - a clear sign the 4-year cycle is breaking, and a long repricing phase is underway.
You don’t need to be extraordinary. You just need not to quit.
Be exceptional - not 0.00001%-exceptional like Buffett… but exceptional in the way that actually matters: Consistent. Patient. And still standing as the trend plays out.

Toph♡Nerdle : Scott! Much needed positive outlook this am. Thanks. Have a good one.
CJem : Sadly, most people on this board isn't interested in the long term investment. They want to pick the short term tops and bottoms and get excited about catching them with huge leverage instead. As much as one BEGS on the masses the time tested wisdom of DCA in a secular upward trend investment like BTC, very few actually are disciplined and persistent enough to pull it off. Hence, the extreme super minority of the extreme successful investors. Human nature.
