the early bird catches the worm

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

if you are early, you are ahead. don't wait for other people's steps. make your own path.

Make your own path can be correct, but the person shouldn't forget that is not smooth ride, there will be so many obstacles on the way, keeping your head straight up and staying true to your game will be needed because it's not easy to be your own guide to make the rules and regulations when no one is watching is not an easy journey. That's why most of the time you see people giving up on their dreams and focus on what they have started earlier, be it a business or an investment. They lose the focus because of lack of direction to continue on what is not immediately giving them much profits 

Whatever that has to be done for maintaining consistency is a flex to me, whatever it may take to still pushing through is the major flex. Yes, obstacle comes in everything but the ability to stay strong and endure, persevere, and pushes through is the success itself. GehGeh once said, the result is in the process not the result itself, enjoy the process without waiting for the result, you are only in control of the process while nature rewards you the result. That's how this works.

Exactly. Those who become more greedy with bitcoin than being fearful on it, those who have believed that bitcoin is the future due to its excellent potentials, they're probably living on the top right now. While leaving those people who chose to turned down bitcoin still struggling in their finances at the moment.

Even myself, I never took the edge with bitcoin. I doubted it at first, until it becomes a trend topic and before I knew it, everyone is already up to bitcoin. However, there's no late or early with bitcoin, but as long as you finally take the step to buy and hold bitcoin for long-term investment, that's what actually matters for everyone of us.

if you have ever heard this phrase before, you should know by now how true it is. if you are the first to discover something, you will be remembered. just how we still credit plato or newton. if you are the first to recognize demand and set up a business, the customer is all yours. if you are the first to invest in a project and it becomes successful, you will be the most profitable.

if you are early, you are ahead. don't wait for other people's steps. make your own path.

A lot of things are first for one, but for another it is not their first, so we must learn from those who are not doing it for the first time while right now the course sellers, the motivational speakers, and anyone motivating you or teaching you to do a task, or helping you learn something about a skill even, if they are doing it for the first time, don't follow them but follow those who have already passed that phase.

If you want to grow in a company, if you want to grow by holding bitcoin alone, you need to follow people who have done it already, because their mindset alone can be more helpful than those who are doing it for the first time.

Although, bro, being early is not always good.

[Oasisman]

However, there's no late or early with bitcoin, but as long as you finally take the step to buy and hold bitcoin for long-term investment, that's what actually matters for everyone of us.

It's never too late to start investing, and taking the step to buy and hold Bitcoin for the long term is definitely important. However, being early almost always comes with advantages in any investment. Early Bitcoin adopters didn't just benefit from holding longer, they also had the opportunity to buy at significantly lower prices, which gave them much greater upside as the market grew. While long term commitment can still lead to meaningful gains, the reality is that those who entered the market earlier had more room for growth and were able to accumulate more value over time. But yeah, owning some Bitcoins now and holding them for the long term matters, whether you bought them early or late, as long as you're financially ready to take a ride on the very volatile nature of this asset.

What is a life without risk taking? It gets boring real quick isn't it? This is why I am going to keep taking risks even if I am going too lose my money, at least I take actions, some people procrastinate and they do nothing.

You can't know if your investment plan will work out for you, and the only way you can find out is try, you are then different from millions of people who sit side ways doing nothing.

The best way to invest is risking what you can afford to lose, do not invest all the money you have because someone tells you that the asset is the best, take risks with part of your money not everything.

Yes the early bird catches the worm but it will apply better to investors that made good investments for examples those who invest early in bitcoin can be said to have caught the biggest worm because they invested early in bitcoin.
You can be the first to start a business and another person brings up better idea on that business that customers prefer to yours. You won’t be the most profitable just because you started it first, in business your competition to have to be the first before they can do better than you.

The truth remain that early birds catches the worm, but not in most cases, it depends on the level of commitment and patience which the early birds apply, stand to be corrected some early birds that lack courage, vision, focus and future purpose towards Bitcoin is nothing to write home as early birds, sorry to digress on this as fisher men it's not when the water is calm you catches big fish, it's when the wave is high where some without courage is afraid to paddle or sail in the water way. Though early is good but what makes it best is the level of understanding and the courageous nature of whenever that engaged on such investment. There are some lately investor who are better than some early investor due to focus and mindset towards their investment, their courage make ways for them even when people slack to buy as a result of fall they continue to accumulate without drawback, I don't see where one Begin as failure but inability to continue improving becomes failure in disguise.

Too it gets boring without risk. But we're not all the same, there are people who are satisfied with their lives without having the need to take risk. They work, they earn and they eat. And that's all what they need for their lives. While us, we can take risks and we know that it's not guaranteed but we're not going to win if we're not going to try. So, we try and take risks because we know that whoever takes the risk has a better chance to success with their lives. That is what the successful people does and they have chosen to become the early bird.

[terrific]

I mean the entirety of it but yeah, I get what you mean. It still has something to do by being early and waking up early.
And successful people have more time when they wake up early and work for the start ups and businesses that they are building.
They've got more time to execute and if they have failures, they've got more time to correct those as well.

Take athletes for instance, they work very hard to win over multiple other athletes in a competition and if you notice, successful business men learn from the way athletes practice and work to achieve success, even, it's encouraged amongst executives to run for 30 mins at least 3 times a week. When you look at it from this angle, it's not just about working around what has been found or the idea, but doing everything possible to lead and win in the journey. So, waking up early isn't a must it has to be for the actual work on ground, it could be for a 2 hours read on difficult books, racing, or general exercise to stay fit and confident.

Yes, I think in general being early have the connection and closeness to success. And that routine is seen to all of the people who's worked hard and became successful.
From athletes, to businessmen, to simple people. We know that being early is a habit that can't be done by most people.
Even the graveyard shift people, there's a different kind of grit and hard work that they're doing.
So, I agree that it isn't a must but should be part of the routine which I've heard also from the billionaires.

if you have ever heard this phrase before, you should know by now how true it is.

And so, many businesses have been successful not because they were "successful", but because they were the first and, in the absence of competition, were able to develop and now prevent others from expanding in this niche.

if you are the first to discover something, you will be remembered. just how we still credit plato or newton.

Second place is the first loser. Pioneers have always been held in high esteem.

if you are the first to recognize demand and set up a business, the customer is all yours.

What to do when all the markets are already occupied? How to be the first?

if you are the first to invest in a project and it becomes successful, you will be the most profitable.

A good example here is investing in early-stage technology companies like Apple or Microsoft, as well as bitcoin.

if you are early, you are ahead. don't wait for other people's steps. make your own path.

In the case of bitcoin, it's not necessary to be the first (or one of them) in the historical period. You could be the first among relatively late investors.

When a person discovers something good, he definitely gets his credit, so doing everything in advance is a great opportunity. That is why instead of running after others, find your own opportunity so that you can move towards success in the future. Those who have invested in Bitcoin in the past have now received a big profit, so you should not fall behind in anything, but you need to take risks. Many people wait just to see, but when other people do not wait, but take risks, when they succeed, they regret it. That is why creating your own path and waiting for credit for the future is the most important thing, if you do something for the future, you can definitely go towards success.

Getting in early gives you an advantage in terms of price. That's obvious. But the number of people who got in early, still lost, either by selling too soon or holding the wrong things or just being reckless with the use of leverage. Timing is not the variable. I believe this now.

And late investors outperforming early ones, yeah. This occurs more than people admit. Because some late investors come humbled already. They've failed elsewhere. That failure altered their way of making decisions, little by little, without them even noticing.

The failure point you made in the end is with me. Lack of ability to keep improving. That's real. But I'd add, improving the way one thinks, not just improving your portfolio. Because one comes after the other and not the other way around.

We get so focused on the external outcome. Price targets. Returns. Percentage gains. And we totally ignore on whether the person who is making those decisions is actually growing or just getting luckier. Those are different things.

Without any doubt risk is worth talking but let it be with amount that you can afford to lose because is something that you are doing for future purposes which everything is possible to happen at the end of the day. Of course risk is the best way to make it in life because obviously it is by taking risk that made the old investors what they are today because back then many people were doubting Bitcoin, while the smartest investors took the risk without looking back.

First mover advantage is real but it has another side too, which is misused by many in investing, because being early only matters if you are early to the right thing. For example, in history, people remembered Newton and Plato but they forgot others from the same era who were early but did the wrong thing.

In crypto, millions of people were early to Luna, FTX and to many other countless projects that no longer exists, there were first, they were ahead, and they lost everything.

This principle applies perfectly to Bitcoin alone, other than Bitcoin, I won't count on it. So yes being early is powerful but being early to something real is what actually matters. Satoshi was real and right.

[Ziskinberg]

But its a different case when the government itself is already warning the people to get rid of bitcoin because its a big fraud. Majority will then doubt the future of bitcoin.

Good thing there are still few people who chose to believe it and trust bitcoin for what it is, not a get rich quick tool.

Following the early bird without doing research can be a major cause of loss. Investing in some altcoins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB first can make you a profitable investor, but will there be any positives in the case of Shitcoin? I see a greater negative possibility here.

I agree that in business, the inventor is the one who profits the most and has the potential to become established, but we need to make sure that the product or asset is in the right place at the right time. For this, we need to have proper and in-depth research on the product or asset. Just as there are profits in business or investment, there are losses. We need to be prepared for both and have the necessary backup plans.

Unless you are actually too early with your "early" idea, and then you are actually not ahead. The world is filled with failed ideas that have failed for both reasons, being too late and being too early. I could bring countless examples, but given that you have not mentioned a single one here it is clear that you are not experienced and do not posses much knowledge in this area. Some were even promoted pretty big when talked about previous bubbles and failures, Pets.com comes to mind. There was nothing wrong with that, it just came too early. Had they started the same thing 5-10 or more years later it would have been extremely successful. Now many people buy Pet stuff on Amazon and simultaneously complain about billionaires like Bezos, the irony is fun and sad.

Yes the early bird catches the worm but it will apply better to investors that made good investments for examples those who invest early in bitcoin can be said to have caught the biggest worm because they invested early in bitcoin.

Sounds good, except it is completely false when half the story is given like you bring it up. If you are early in a great investment, it is the best. However, you can't know this ahead of time, stop writing as if it were possible. If you are early in a bad investment, you are going to be among the people that get fucked the most. Tell all the people who put in large amounts early into big scams, before the public discovered evidence of their scams. Being early sounds good if you have made a profit, being early is terrible if you have lost your life savings.  

First mover advantage is real but it has another side too, which is misused by many in investing, because being early only matters if you are early to the right thing. For example, in history, people remembered Newton and Plato but they forgot others from the same era who were early but did the wrong thing.

Exactly, often here people given completely wrong and brainless advice but such nonsense is tolerated in places like this. Whatever gets the post count up is good, and the forum supports that.

The right place and the right time offer advantages in many ways. Rushing into something without good planning or research is not a wise decision. Sometimes, rushing is necessary to seize opportunities, but one must avoid making mistakes while rushing.

The goal is for the moves to yield good results, but the right time and place are crucial. The possibility of losses should also be considered, and plans should be made accordingly.

Not always true. You dont have to be the first one to discover it or be the first one to be on just to be successful. Look what happened to Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. If you havent heard about their story go look it up. Being first poses alot of risks. Yes you're the first one to invest in a growing startup, but then that startup fails miserably, taking your investment down with it. You first discovered a breakthrough in an AI technology, Great, now countless other competitors are gonna steal it from you and not put in the effort and take more credit than you. Unless you know what you're doing, its not always a good idea to be first. We need to test things out. You need to validate the idea first. Before going in to minimize risk. You will still get rich anyway as long as you're in. Like being 3rd place in a race. You still won. The 1st place guy would deal with alot of trouble later on. There are things we do not see what 1st achievers deal with. We need to remove our ego and idea to always be first. Instead, how we can profit from this.

Well things always have an exception, if you are 100% certain that a particular action will go as you expect it to go, then by all means go first. Everything requires certainty.

...just how we still credit plato or newton.

I'm sure those two dudes won't be happy with you for spelling their names in small letters 🤔

if you are the first to recognize demand and set up a business, the customer is all yours.

Well, may be that's true and may be it's not true; giving the fact that what keeps a business running and in patronage is its Customer Care. If a business doesn't regard those who patronize it, it soon loses patronage. Customers move away and sales dry up.

...if you are the first to invest in a project and it becomes successful, you will be the most profitable.

Yes, you're right. However, I like that "if" in your construction as it shows you also know things can go awry.

Yes, that's right, those who invested early, were the ones who got ahead and benefited the most. Many of those who invested in Bitcoin after its discovery are selling at a limited profit. I think they didn't think about the future. However, many people plan long-term and hold on to lower prices.They are now the most profitable. But in today's times, even if the first investment in a new project is successful, the chances of success are very low. By doing this, you will have to deal with repeated failures.
