Don’t Mock Early Effort, Every Investor Has a Hidden Growth Phase

[Aventas]

Has it ever happened in your life?That you are putting in a lot of effort but you are not seeing any results?

Did you know that there is a type of Chinese bamboo that grows to about 80 feet tall in just six weeks?Yes,it is absolutely real. But by the fifth year, that is, after planting for the first four years, you will not see anything. But by the fifth year, it grows to about 80 feet tall in just 6 weeks.

So what was the tree doing for the first 4 years?
It was growing its roots. It was creating a perfect system underground, but no growth was visible. However, when growth was seen, it was astonishing to everyone, amazing to everyone.

 The same thing happens in our investment, when you are giving time to investment, learning and investing continuously, giving all out effort but you are not seeing any growth. In such a situation, compare yourself with that bamboo plant. Think about those four years, now is the time to give effort. When it grows, it will grow exponentially. Because Bitcoin also takes four years for each cycle. And in investment, significant growth is seen after at least four years or more.So, if we sell it at a low price thinking that it has not grown and will never grow, we will only suffer losses.

Similarly, if you see someone else who is new and is giving a lot of effort but is not getting any output. Then do not be disappointed with him, do not mock him. Rather, have faith that like the Chinese bamboo plant, he too will grow exponentially one day.

Has it ever happened in your life?That you are putting in a lot of effort but you are not seeing any results?

Do you know that there is also the possibility that you are focusing on the wrong investment, hence the reason why the result has not been seen?

There are people who have wrongly invested, that is, made main investment decisions without properly doing their research, and as a result are stuck in this investment and still believe that it will be profitable. The truth about some investments that you are patient with is that they will never be profitable, and as a smart investor you should be wise also to know when to bail from a wrong investment and not keep hoping.

Patience is not always the right move, especially when you are investing in the wrong asset. Patience is only where you have done long and proper research and you are sure that being patient with that asset will give you the desired results. If you are patient with an asset that does not have a bright future, then you are just wasting time. Patience is not always fruitful, especially when you are not doing any research.

Although Bitcoin has proven itself and has a bright future now, without proper research, a person can fail in Bitcoin investment. If someone keeps failing, ask him to change the place (investment asset) or change his plan and strategy. There are some investment assets (shitcoin, memecoin, etc.) where it is not possible to succeed, or even though the asset is good for investment, you are failing again and again due to lack of proper strategy

This has happened in my life and even though I've put in all my effort to achieve success in trading, the reality isn't as expected. On the other hand, some people may succeed in building financial strength through the investment process, although it sometimes takes a little longer. That's why I'm personally more focused on investing than trading at the moment because my skills may not be as promising in trading.

When you realize one thing and learn to change for the better, it's far more relevant than forcing yourself to stay in a position you may not be capable of. Trading may be difficult and not everyone can achieve success in it, but investing in Bitcoin offers a much better opportunity, especially regarding the financial freedom we hope for.

Absolutely right. Your analogy of investing like planting Chinese bamboo is very relevant as a motivation for investing in Bitcoin especially now when the market is full of obstacles and high volatility. Especially during a war like now where price corrections can occur suddenly or even if we understand that the Bitcoin cycle has passed we must wait for the next cycle which seems to take a long time to make a profit.

So, you really have to imagine planting Chinese bamboo seeds as your initial capital in this case you buy Bitcoin. Then, you water and care for them. In this case you must be consistent with your DCA strategy and hold despite the price fluctuations while continuing to learn. Obstacles in the market certainly exist, such as storms (bear market), pests (negative news), drought (long sideways), or even yourself wanting to uproot the tree because you're tired of waiting (panic selling). If you successfully navigate these you will harvest the Chinese bamboo in other words you can achieve financial freedom. Indeed, the bamboo you plant will be visible after years not weeks or months. The same goes for investing in Bitcoin, so don't underestimate the initial journey as the rewards will be reaped in the future.

How many disappointed people started buying altcoins four years ago because their common sense told them they were going to experience an altseason? Now it's past its cycle, and I think many have given up. I believe everyone has their own set of obstacles and handles them in their own way, but ignoring the warnings of others who have been through the same phase will only hinder your success.

True, there are investments that you tend to wait for the right timing to experience real profits, but the reality is you will never experience it because you have invested in the wrong asset. Being patient while waiting for the perfect timing isn't reliable enough, you have to see the real stance of your investment if its worth of your money and time, or its like another investment that turns out ponzi scheme.

Not all assets deserve our hard-earned money, some are just there to lure us, in the end it turns out a big scam.

This is often the hardest stage of any endeavor and it's here where patience gets put to the test, where knowledge and wisdom is applied most, where risk management is put to test for efficiency and where sacrifice is being made.

Growth isn't just a thing of a day but steady consistent effort and that's why we have nature traders and merchant traders who are professionals in that aspect of trading because they have planted and watered the seed of their trading endeavor and thus understand how the market moves, how they make profit and how they stay chill when the speculation and market sentiment is high.

The reason why some people doesn't succeed in their investment is because they are impatient, they belittle their small beginning and wants to make success faster than everyone else, but that's not how money works, those successful people who remained successful afterwards are people who knows the rules of money, they have understood the game of money and are playing it very well, that's why they remained successful. When someone chase for fast profit on their investment, it could lead to overlooking the risk and that will cause them losing the small capital they are investing with.

If we invest in something with strong fundamentals, like Bitcoin in a bear market, then it is not a wrong investment even if it does not yield results for some time. This has been proven many times and I have read it in many places. But if we just jump into a new or dubious project without researching it based on hype, then it can be a clearly wrong decision. That is why I mentioned Bitcoin in the OP. Not any other altcoin.

This! I saw a lot of people in the market now, especially on different social media or even here in this forum, discouraging new traders or investors coming into the Bitcoin market.
Well, we can't blame them because maybe that's their way of teaching other people? But I'm against it.

With this Bitcoin market being exremely volatility, I believe early effort, and staying protected in the market like protecting your capital at all cost is a must.

[JeffBrad12]

I'm never a fan of comparing human to something like plant because its entirely different even if just analogy but I do agree that investment could sky rocket within just short time after investing for so long and it never grow.
A good example for this is tech stock like nvidia for its early year where AI wasn't a thing, and they suddenly skyrocket to trillion valuation, that one chinese EV car invested by charlie munger, and also same with gold that has recently been going up non stop although it was pretty much stagnating before.

[michellee]

I will say to that person that he will get what he wants and don't gives up. Just one more step and everything will change and although the next step is not gives you the things you wants, you should not stop. Don't thinks about what others say as they don't know how you prepare yourself and struggle.

They can say many things, mock you and even saying bad words to you. But result will not lie to you, he will gives the things you want in the right time. Never gives up, don't listen to others, believes in you, and doing what you believe.

I like this analogy. Ultimately,, those who believe in the process and are willing to learn from every step, both before and after getting started, will indeed achieve satisfying results in the end. it’s just that sometimes many people don’t really enjoy the process, so they give up after a few setbacks. Instead of learning from those setbacks, people with a weak mindset sometimes run away and try something new again, so they end up starting from scratch over and over. Yet in everything we do, we must truly stay focused and keep learning from what we’ve experienced before. The same goes for investing. If we’ve ever failed, we simply need to learn from that failure and correct what went wrong,the very cause of that failure.

[Strongkored]

When someone expects quick results from their investment assets, it is clear that they do not understand what investment really is.
Investments will only show results over a long period, even investors who are very confident in their assets believe that the longer they hold them, the greater the profits or benefits they will get, and that can only be achieved with patience, without patience it is better not to invest because loss is the result.
