Two things separate the survivors from the noise traders:
First — buying when everyone's checked out. When the timeline's dead, when your non-crypto friends ask if you're still "doing that Bitcoin thing." That's when conviction costs something.
Second — not losing your mind when things finally move. The real test isn't the red days. It's watching green and not immediately fumbling the bag.
$BTC and alts are in that zone now. Yeah, there'll be nasty pullbacks that make your stomach drop. But this feels like the part where alts actually start cooking.
Most people will still sell too early or buy too late. Same story, different cycle.
