Many people ask me, why is the account still shrinking when it is obviously a bull market?



Frankly, the crypto market today is not the same thing as it was a few years ago.

It used to be really simple - open an account to buy some BTC, and when the bull market came, I lay down and counted money. But now you still use this old style of play? The market teaches you how to be a person in minutes.

Let's talk about the flow of funds first.

How does the money enter the market now? Most of them follow the institution. Wall Street has long paved its positions through ETFs, and people are playing with long-term allocations, looking at quarterly and annual trends. Do you still want to make quick money today and tomorrow? This market no longer pays retail investors "daily wages".

Isn't that a chance? Of course not.

It's just that opportunities are beginning to focus on the direction that can really be implemented and have actual output:

The DePIN line is getting hotter and hotter. You buy equipment, contribute bandwidth, storage, or computing power, and you can get stable token income. This is not air, it is real work.

The combination of AI + blockchain is also gaining momentum rapidly. Those projects that provide computing power and data annotation to AI are on the cusp.

There is also RWA (Real Asset On-Chain). Tokenizing traditional assets such as real estate and bonds through blockchain has a clear income model and relatively controllable risks.

Can traditional gameplay still make money? Yes. But the threshold is much higher than before.

Airdrops, DeFi liquidity mining, early participation in projects...... These paths are still effective, but now it is not luck, but poor professionalism and information.

Or you can honestly hold BTC and ETH, and then stake to earn some interest. This strategy is now more stable than many banks.

So why are most people still at a loss?

Because you may still be chasing those local dog projects, dreaming of doubling overnight, and the market has long since evolved to version 3.0.

Because you panic when you see your account fall by 10%, and when you are bullish, you chase higher, always half a beat slow.

Because you put all the living expenses in, you can't hold your mentality, and you can't take the long term at all.

To put it bluntly, the currency circle has always been professional people making amateur money. Now it's just a more straightforward way to write this rule.

If you really want to survive in this market, there are a few things you must do:

Use your spare money to invest, don't stud. Take the time to study the fundamentals of the project, don't just stare at the candlesticks. Be mentally prepared to take 2 to 3 years, don't fantasize about going in and out quickly.

The elimination of this market is never people who have no money.

Those who are eliminated are those who are too lazy to study, treat investment as gambling, and have an unstable mentality.
BTC-1.95%
ETH-3.47%

Honestly, those still gambling on altcoins, it's time to wake up. --- This wave is indeed different. Institutional players have long laid out the groundwork, and retail investors need to change their approach. --- I'm also watching DePIN and RWA. I feel these are truly productive. --- The worst thing is losing your mindset—selling off when it drops 10%, you just can't hold on. --- So, if you can still make money now, it depends on whether you have the patience to research and spare funds to invest. --- That's how the crypto world works—professionals are always making money off the lazy. --- Long-term staking BTC and ETH might be more stable than bank savings. --- It's hard to handle. I thought the bull market was a free win, but it turns out it's no longer that simple.

It's already 2024, and you're still going all-in on cheap coins? No wonder your account keeps shrinking. The market has already evolved, and you're still standing still.

Oh no, that was too blunt. My humble dog position is embarrassing to death.

According to historical data, this wave of market is indeed bottoming out, but retail investors are still chasing higher... What an IQ tax It's another textbook-level market analysis, I'm afraid that most people will still lose money after reading it My quantitative model does have signals in the direction of DePIN and RWA, but there are risk warnings, everyone Stud living expenses deserve to be eliminated, and I agree with this to my bones From the perspective of the macro cycle, the institution has been laid out, and retail investors are basically taking over the car now... My screening model for the local dog project can filter 99%, and the difficulty lies in enforcing discipline The mentality of chasing high is really the biggest enemy in the currency circle, and you still want to pick up the bargain when the technical gap is missing BTC staking is indeed more cost-effective than wealth management products now, and I have been reconfiguring it recently The problem is not that there is no money, but that there is no systematic quantitative methodology Don't play if you can't hold on to your mentality, the most test of this market is the psychology of holding positions

Volume King Article, but to be honest, most people can't do it at all --- It's stud's self-redemption again, it looks sober, but it's actually a gamble --- DePIN is really good, but I dare to ask how many are actually running nodes instead of holding coins on paper --- The institution has long been in the market, and we are still discussing this, but it is too late --- Take 2 to 3 years? Big brother, I can't sleep well even if my account drops by 20% --- To put it nicely, in the final analysis, it is still about poor information and luck, and neither of them is in vain --- I am optimistic about RWA, which is at least supported by assets compared to Air Coin --- People who are too lazy to learn should indeed be eliminated, but learning may not make money

To be honest, I should have woken up long ago if I was still dreaming of doubling overnight The old gameplay is indeed outdated, and now it is all about poor information and professionalism The institution has already set up the game, and our retail investors are still chasing the dog, which is too different DePIN and RWA are the jobs of the future The stud man got out of the game sooner or later If you don't have spare money to invest, don't toss, if you can't hold on to your mentality, everything will be in vain

Really, the stud people are dead now. --- I've been laying out DePIN for a long time, but I'm still a little afraid of being cut. --- That's right, I'm the fool who chases the rise and fall, and I didn't wake up until my account lost 30%. --- The agency has already gotten on the bus, and we are still looking below, this gap is absolute. --- The idea of pledged ETH and other interest is reliable, and it is much more practical than those local dog coins. --- Why can't I control the stud, I know it's wrong or all in. --- I don't understand RWA very well, can anyone explain how to operate? --- Mentality is the most difficult thing, if it falls by 10%, you want to run, rise a little and chase higher, always a beat slower. --- So, the people who have been eliminated in the currency circle are people like me who have no self-discipline.

That's right, it's really time to wake up when we're still chasing the doubling of the dream of the dog, the market has evolved early, and we have to keep up with the rhythm
