Younger people, especially those who are under the age of 30, forget the value of youth, because they’re so young to begin with. Arguably, the greatest asset of an investor is the length of time they can hold onto an asset. Yes, this sounds like another rehashed discussion of compounding over decades blah, blah, blah. But, then you start to wonder, what would happen if you held onto bitcoin into the year 2038 (20 years from now)? Cryptocurrency won’t always appreciate at the same rate each year, but if you hold onto an investment for decades, you’d argue that you were earlier than people by a couple decades, if you could only maintain the discipline of constant accumulation, for a couple decades, right? When you’re young, like in your 20s (like me), you often must duck and evade the day-to-day sales calls to participate in one promising opportunity, after another, to focus on a longer-term holdings strategy you feel confident in. In other words, when you buy cryptocurrency, and avoid the near-term game of buying and selling within months, and instead plan on steady accumulation, you’ll start to sound damn brilliant by the time your 50 years old. Why? Because most people who are near retiring (and I’ve talked with many of them over the years) are discontent with their investment decisions, and how slowly they accumulated their nest-egg relative to inflation. See, the baby boomers of today, would needed to have started investing into the stock market since the 1970s (the big market opportunity of their generation) to take advantage of multi-thousand percent plus returns. It’s easier to retire when you compound multi-thousand percentage returns (spread over 30 to 50-years), folks. Most people in the United States won’t retire, primarily because they never had the optimism, and foresight to simply hold onto their assets through their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s (and you get the idea). So, when they finally retire they’re dependent on social programs, and a 401(k) account (that they barely contributed into). So, if you’re looking at yourself in the mirror today, and could do one thing for yourself for the 50-year old version of yourself, buying bitcoin today sounds like a pretty good decision, right? Sure, over the short-term, prices fluctuate, but when measured over decades the underlying value of an asset tends to increase. Time tends to work miracles with investing, because the value of currency is always devaluing, investments that appreciate become scarcer, and get driven up in value when time becomes a factor. So, instead of focusing on what next-year might look like in your portfolio, think in terms of what might happen in the year 2038 (20-years from now) where you retain gains compounded over 20-years. That’s why I’m so excited every single day. Because, I’m playing the 20-year game of accumulating, which is still the fast lane, while everyone else is making short-term trades that could easily blow-up their portfolio with a sequence of poorly timed trades. Think that far ahead, and you can see why, some of you will ride the seas, while others will quit within a couple years. It’s not about how much you made/loss recently, but whether you can maintain discipline and courage as you reach year 10, 15, 20 in your investment account. That’s the challenge of the long-term investor. Discipline measured over decades, and whether you have the foresight to anticipate what you need to do, in a distant year that’s decades ahead of you. That’s something no one cares about, until they reach the end of their lifespan where they can never recoup 20, 30, or even 40-years of life to compound investment gains. Accumulating cryptocurrencies every year, every month, until the year 2038 (is a marathon in human years). Discipline over decades is a challenge, but many of you will likely jump off in five months, or in five weeks. Some might even throw in the towel five-years from now, but if we look back on history, it’s the steady accumulator who wins the race, and I believe that will prove to be the case ESPECIALLY with blockchain and cryptocurrency.
