Why I'm holding LTC isn't about certainty—far from it. It's because I've actually compared it against other options and decided the risk calculus makes sense to me.
Here's what bugs me: most people trading these markets chase guarantees. But guarantees? They don't exist in this space. That's kind of the whole point.
My real question isn't whether I'm right about timing. My question is: what still holds up if I'm completely wrong on timing? If my thesis breaks, would the fundamentals I originally bought into still be there? That's the filter I use.
Timing is almost impossible to nail. But buying something that survives being wrong on timing? That's something worth thinking about.

This guy is right, those who pursue certainty are all here to make money.

This is the logic I like: no pretense, no acting, just speaking the truth.

Ha, I learned this lesson the hard way... Instead of guessing the bottom, it's better to ask myself how long I can hold on.

This guy is right; betting on fundamentals rather than gambling on timing is indeed a more rational way to live.

Exactly, most people just want to gamble for quick money, only to get completely wiped out in the end.
This guy's thinking is indeed clear-headed. Instead of obsessing over timing, he focuses on whether the fundamentals can hold up. This is the right attitude when playing with crypto.
I'm also optimistic about LTC, but I don't rely on predicting the exact trend. Long-term, the technology and applications are right there.

To be honest, this approach is indeed clear-headed. It's not about betting on the right timing, but betting on the fundamentals holding up. Most people are playing a guessing game, but this guy is thinking about how to survive even in the worst-case scenario. This is probably the way to maintain a stable mindset.
