Here's a funny paradox most traders face: the altcoins buried deep in your wallet—the ones you bought and basically forgot about—often end up outperforming the coins you're constantly checking charts on. You know the feeling. You obsess over every price tick, chase the latest hype, and somehow still lag behind that random token from three years ago that you barely remember holding. Maybe there's something to the lesson here. Constant monitoring breeds anxiety and poor timing. Meanwhile, the forgotten positions enjoy a quiet compounding effect, free from your emotional interference. Worth thinking about the next time you're glued to your portfolio.

Really? The junk coins I randomly bought in 2021 actually doubled in value, while the mainstream coins I watch every day are still losing...

Alright, doesn't that mean the trash coins I bought are actually the ones that are rising the most...

Really? My dust-covered shitcoin that I haven't touched in three years suddenly skyrocketed 50 times, while the mainstream coins I watch every day are still losing... Feeling a bit speechless.

Haha, really? The hidden gems in the vault are actually the ones that surge the most.

Haha really, the coins I pay less attention to are skyrocketing, and the more diligently I watch, the more I lose...

This is my blood and tears story. I watch the market every day, but the old coins I forget about completely outperform.
---
Damn, isn't this me... The coins I was wildly trading all fell, while that one I bought casually three years ago doubled in value.
---
Stop blindly looking at K-line charts, everyone. This is just self-torture.
---
I've cracked the case. My problem is that I can't control my hands...

You're so right. HODL and mindless earning will always be better than frequent trading.
---
Then why do the coins I forget about still fall to death?
---
The more I try to make quick money, the less I actually earn. Irony.

Really, the more I watch the market, the more I lose money, while those forgotten coins take off. It's hilarious.
