Your investment confidence ultimately comes from your adherence to your investment philosophy.

In today's era, there is too much information. News, hot topics, opinions from various influencers, all flooding in every day. The same event is processed, interpreted, and redistributed by countless bloggers. You will find that 99% of what you receive is noise, and the real signals are scarce.

What is a true signal? It is information that can guide you to take the correct action. If you use a long-term perspective to filter information, then short-term market fluctuations are no longer risks but opportunities.

The father of value investing, Benjamin Graham, once said: The only significance of price fluctuations is to give you the chance to buy low at the bottom and sell high at the top. If investors panic because their assets decline in the short term, they are turning their advantages into disadvantages.

What is true investment wisdom? It is discovering assets that are undervalued during volatility, staying clear-headed amid irrational panic, and being cautious of bubble risks during market euphoria. Every major fluctuation tests your investment conviction and is also a moment for wealth redistribution.

Only by passing through cycles can you reap the rewards of time and compound interest. So, calm your mind, block out distracting information, and return to the essence of investing to think.

There is too much noise, really, 99% of it is spam People always say to see clearly, but most of the time they are just being led by the rhythm Confidence comes from belief, that's true, but the problem is that most people don't have any belief at all

Blocking out noise and holding onto your beliefs—that's the way to survive the cycle.

Basically, you need to have resolve; otherwise, you're easily exploited and "harvested" like a leek.

That's a good point, but very few people can actually do it.

Well said, but how many can truly do it... I am easily brainwashed by short-term fluctuations.

Well said. You need to have faith and not be broken by all the nonsense in the crypto world. The key is how to hold on in panic; that's the real skill. There's indeed too much noise. I now mainly look at on-chain data, and mute everything else. Confidence, to put it simply, is just trust in your own judgment, nothing else. Blocking out the noise is crucial. My friend used to watch market comments every day, and as a result, he frequently made trades and ended up losing everything. I've heard countless times that price volatility creates opportunities, but very few people can actually do it, including myself. This bear market is testing who truly has strong conviction and who just talks about it.

It sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I think the key is still having enough capital to withstand the fluctuations.
