Still think 5 years is too long to wait? Then honestly, you're not cut out for real wealth. The difference between those who build generational wealth in crypto and those who don't often comes down to this single factor—patience. Most people want results yesterday. They chase quick pumps, panic at every dip, and exit when things get quiet. But that's exactly the opposite of how fortunes compound. Whether it's hodling quality projects, accumulating positions during bear markets, or letting your yield work for you in DeFi, the real money flows to those who can think in years, not weeks. Five years? That's actually on the shorter end of serious wealth building. If that timeline feels unbearable, you're probably overleveraged or chasing the wrong assets. Either way, it's worth asking yourself: are you actually building, or just gambling?

5 years really isn't long. I've already planned a 10-year strategy, but this group in the crypto circle started calling for selling off just because it hasn't risen in two months. So funny.

You're absolutely right, 5 years is nothing really, those who were in a rush got liquidated long ago.

Honestly, 5 years is indeed a long time, but if you really lack patience, it's better not to get involved in the crypto world.

ngl, per my analysis the 5yr timeline is actually taxonomically incorrect for most retail actors—data suggests otherwise on compound mechanics. let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick bc the risk assessment here needs recalibration. statistically speaking, those panic-selling during downturns are exhibiting textbook evolutionary dead-ends in their token phylogenetics.

Five years is not worth the wait, it's basically being drained by high leverage... I've seen too many unlucky ones with a 153.7% collateralization ratio. Once a threshold is triggered, they're liquidated to zero. Who has the patience to hold for five years?

Listen, 5 years really isn't long. I initially thought it was slow, but after seeing those who truly succeed, I understand.
