Everyone chases those massive green P&L screenshots but nobody wants to sit through the drawdowns that come with them.
That's the game. You don't get the 10x without weathering the 50% pullbacks. The pain is part of the position. If you can't handle watching your unrealized gains evaporate temporarily, you'll never hold long enough to catch the real move.
Drawdowns separate traders who understand variance from those who panic at the first red candle. Position sizing and mental capital matter as much as the setup itself. You need enough runway to survive the noise and let the edge play out.
This applies whether you're holding $BTC for the decade or riding a swing trade for weeks. The conviction to endure temporary pain is what funds the long-term plan. No drawdown tolerance = no outsized returns. Simple math.
