I've been in crypto for a few years now, and if I look back honestly, most of my biggest mistakes came from trying to beat BTC.
I chased narratives.
I rotated into altcoins too late.
I traded when I should've held.
I tried timing tops and bottoms.
Meanwhile, the people I know who simply accumulated BTC and did almost nothing seem to have less stress and often better returns.
I'm not saying Bitcoin is always the best investment, but I've started wondering whether most retail investors would be better off spending less time researching the "next 100x coin" and more time focusing on consistent accumulation.
