Spent time across quite a few crypto communities, and there's a clear pattern I keep noticing—the ones built around members aged 28 and up just hit different. Conviction runs deeper. The signal-to-noise ratio stays cleaner. People enter positions with actual strategy, not FOMO; they weather the red candles without panic-selling at 3 AM; and crucially, they're doing real analysis instead of doom-scrolling charts and sketching random lines. It's the difference between communities that move on thesis versus communities that move on vibes.

Bro, those words are spot on. Age really determines everything.
I totally agree. The difference between retail investors and institutions is just like that.
People over 28 indeed have different stress resistance; those who can resist cutting orders at 3 a.m. are the ones who make money.
That's right. Currently, the market is flooded with noise, and those with brains are staying silent.
That's why I only look at the holding times of big V accounts, not their daily tweets.
As you get older, you become more rational; young people are all controlled by candlestick charts.
Arguments vs. emotions, you can tell at a glance who is a rookie and who is a seasoned veteran.

The age gap really is a dividing line
That's why I long ago exited those small-town crypto communities
28+ definitely have a different mindset, won't panic sell just because of a dip at 3 a.m.
Speaking of which, the comparison between argument communities and atmosphere communities is spot on
Really, those who can survive a few bull and bear markets simply don't FOMO
Veterans are veterans; having been through it makes a difference

Indeed, older people have a different ability to handle pressure.

Older folks do tend to be more patient, but bro, are you implying that we're not old enough yet...

Age really is a filter; losers and winners can see through it at a glance.

To be honest, older people really have a different mindset and are less easily exploited.

Being older gives you confidence; not following the trend is absolutely right.
