The rich old OGs who are still active now, the really old-school ones, not a single one—pay attention, not a single one—got rich just by buying early and holding. On the contrary, their wealth accumulation mainly came from making a ton during the ICO boom of 2017-2018. That’s the real source of their wealth. Of course, some also accumulated wealth later through launching various DeFi projects. The truly early OGs who only held and never sold are either super low-key or got wrecked by the ICO boom.
