Five years chasing altcoins taught me a lot—mostly about volatility, overhyped promises, and watching gains disappear overnight. But here's the thing: every cycle, every rug pull, every dead project kept pointing me back to the same place. Bitcoin just works. It's unglamorous, it doesn't have the 100x upside fantasy that keeps you awake at night, but there's something about it that's undeniable. The longer you stay in this space, the more you realize what actually matters: security, scarcity, and a network that's genuinely decentralized. I'm not saying I'm abandoning altcoins completely, but my conviction in BTC as the foundation of everything else just keeps growing. Maybe that's what they call maxi behavior—or maybe it's just experience talking.

Five years of blood, tears, and history, with the risk threshold for liquidation being triggered time and again... Now I finally understand that it all comes back to BTC, the fundamental infrastructure.
No matter how high the leverage on other coins, it's all pointless; the moment the collateralization rate collapses, everything is gone.

The five-year blood and tears history of chasing new coins ultimately boils down to being repeatedly beaten into submission, and in the end, BTC remains the most comfortable.

After five years, I finally learned this lesson — I should have gone all in on Bitcoin long ago.
