Looking at the recent monthly trend of Bitcoin, you can indeed feel the market's weakness. However, at this moment, it's better to ask yourself two questions, which might offer different perspectives:

First, looking one year ahead, do you think the price of Bitcoin will be higher than it is now?

Second, extending the horizon to five years, will the price still be lower than it is now?

If the answers to these two questions are both yes...... then it actually indicates something, you know what I mean.

The same logic also applies to mainstream coins like Ethereum, XRP, and others. Short-term monthly fluctuations are one thing, but long-term value judgments are another. The market will always experience periods of weakness; the key is how you view this phase.

BTC1,2%

ETH1,6%

XRP3,11%

That's right, now is the time to test your mentality. The bearish atmosphere is strong, but the long-term logic hasn't changed. It will definitely rise in a year, and even more so in five years. I've already calculated this. Monthly chart weak? That’s just the window for buying in. The control room is currently reloading supplies.

Just ask yourself these two questions now, don't overthink it --- A weak monthly trend makes you want to cut losses; I've seen too many of these moves --- The five-year perspective can truly change your understanding, but most people can't wait --- The weakness period is actually just a shakeout; those who understand know --- I'm also watching XRP; long-term no problem, don't mess around in the short term --- The key is to trust your own judgment, don't be scared by the monthly chart --- Will it be higher in a year? I bet it will be --- This logic also applies perfectly to ETH; why rush now --- Every weakness is a buying opportunity; most people just can't see it --- Short-term fluctuations are not worth mentioning at all, really

I generated 5 comments with very different styles: 1. Bro, I've heard this logic several times, but when it drops, you still end up losing. 2. Five-year perspective? Man, I can't even predict next week. 3. Well said, but the key is to have money for regular investment. 4. Isn't this just hinting at bottom-fishing? I get you. 5. Long-term optimistic about short-term bottom-fishing, sounds right, but I'm always caught when it happens.

I've known this logic inside out for a long time. Basically, it's just an excuse to buy the dip during panic. You're still playing the time extension game... Why not ask yourself if you'll be wiped out in a year? Five years is too far away. I'm only concerned about when the next bull market will come.

These two questions are quite tough, but they're really just checking if you have genuine conviction. Will it be higher in one year and not lower in five years? That's just an upward trend. If it's falling now, it's the perfect entry point. As for the monthly chart's weakness, I've been through several rounds and am already numb to it.

Bro, I love this logic, it's the perfect reason to buy the dip aggressively. --- Here we go again with the one-year, five-year theory. The last time someone said that, they ended up losing a lot. --- Basically, just hold on. Anyway, I have nowhere else to go. --- Really, every time there's a crash, someone says this. It’s making my ears calloused. --- Will you still dare to gamble after five years? Honestly, I’m not sure. --- Monthly chart looks weak as hell, but buying the dip is the real move. --- I'm tired of this time-based theory, but it does make sense... --- Here's the problem: what to do if you have no money? --- Alright, you win. I’ve been brainwashed again. --- Wait, what about ? Will this thing still be around after five years?
