You need to fight the "I need to be rich now" mentality

One of the strongest feelings that anyone in our modern world will experience is the overwhelming desire for a financial lightning strike that means you can wake up tomorrow and solve all of your financial problems.

This mentality sailed in during the last big crypto bull run and crash, it got a huge boost with a few stocks back in January, but the truth is that it's always there: money solves problems and the more you have the more problems you can solve.

This drives so many of us to feel like we have to see huge gains as soon as possible. It also drives many people to sell and take a big loss if they didn't win fast enough.

If you can see past that, if you can say, "This money I'm investing in crypto isn't something I'm going to touch yet. I'll buy a little bit every week for the next 2 years," then you are going to be okay. Yes, it's some Jedi-master patience shit that will get tested every now and again. But if you can keep buying, consistently, you're going to fare much better in the long run.
