Memecoin trading has been the best teacher for a counterintuitive lesson: restraint beats action, and patience beats frequency. Most traders get trapped chasing the next move, adjusting positions constantly, catching every dip or pump. But watching the meme market play out reveals something simpler—sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make. Those who bought and held through noise often outperformed the ones obsessively trading in and out. It's the opposite of what our brains tell us, yet the market keeps rewarding it. The hardest part isn't timing the trade. It's sitting still and watching others panic around you.

That's so true. I'm the one who constantly trades and ends up losing everything 🤡. Watching others buy and just relax, they end up making a fortune...

That's right, but I've seen too many people who know this truth but can't do it... really, HODL is the way to go, but most people still can't resist the urge to sell.

That's right... but holding on really pays off. I've seen too many people trade ten or more times a day and end up losing all their profits, while those who buy and then sleep end up making a fortune.

To be honest, this is the deepest realization I've had in the past two years. The more hands you have, the more you lose; doing nothing while sitting around actually makes money. Crazy.
