#美联储降息 Are you still losing money in the bull market? Maybe your strategy has long been outdated——$BTC $ETH $SOL



To be honest, there are still opportunities in the crypto world now, but it’s no longer the naive, blind-profit era. A few years ago, opening an account and buying Bitcoin could double your money. Now? Competition is fierce, and without real skills, you simply can't attract others’ funds.

**Where does the money flow to and from?**

First, you need to understand the current capital movements. Wall Street’s institutional armies have officially entered through spot Bitcoin ETFs, playing a long-term game of three to five years. If you're still day trading T+0 or dreaming of doubling your investment tomorrow, frankly, those gains won’t even cover your living expenses.

Secondly, the profit-making battleground has shifted. The real hot money is now pouring into “real applications.” What are real applications? Look at these directions:

**DePIN Track** — Buying hardware devices, sharing your home’s network bandwidth and storage space, and earning tokens automatically every day. This isn’t just passive income; you are actually providing network computing resources.

**AI × Blockchain Fusion** — Projects that provide computing power for large models and high-quality training data are now highly sought after. The AI wave meeting blockchain is just beginning to produce chemical reactions.

**RWA (Real World Asset) On-Chain** — Traditional financial assets like real estate, bonds, and corporate receivables moved onto the chain. They offer stable and reliable returns, especially suitable for those looking for steady appreciation without constantly monitoring the markets.

Old methods are not dead, but the threshold is higher. Early participation in new projects or market-making on DEXs can still make money, but they require deeper expertise and risk judgment. Alternatively, simply staking mainstream coins (BTC/ETH) in the ecosystem can earn staking yields, which are often more generous than bank savings and more hassle-free.

**Why do you always feel like you can't make money?**

Carefully examine whether you’ve fallen into these traps:

Still chasing meme coins, small tokens, or even being lured into scams. The market has long evolved to focus on fundamentals and application value, yet you’re still using speculative thinking from five years ago.

Selling at a loss at the first sign of a dip, FOMO-ing to buy high at the first sign of a rise, always the one getting slaughtered by the market. Without the right mindset, even strong technicals are useless.

Putting your entire net worth into the market, and when it drops 10%, your mentality collapses—you can’t hold through any cycle. This is not investing; it’s gambling.

**Final advice:**

The crypto world always follows one iron law—professional institutions harvest money from amateur retail investors. What’s different now is that the rules of the game have become more transparent, the barriers higher, and competition fiercer.

If you still want to play here, you need to change a few habits:

Use only spare funds, real estate, or money you can afford to lose. Never go all-in—that’s the most basic risk management.

Spend time researching new projects and mechanisms; don’t just stare at K-line charts. Understand how DePIN works, why RWA can generate stable returns. That’s a hundred times more useful than watching candlestick charts every day.

Prepare mentally for long-term holding. 2-3 years is a reasonable cycle. Don’t expect to get rich overnight. That’s just not how markets work—those in a hurry tend to die the fastest.

To be honest, anyone still all-in now should wake up. --- DePIN and RWA have indeed been bloodsucking these past two years, but how many people truly understand how they work? --- Not bragging, staking yields are really more generous than Yu'ebao, but it's exhausting. --- People who watch K-line charts every day end up dead; there's no fault in that statement. --- Institutional entry should make it clear that the era of retail investors is truly over. --- I've long stopped believing in altcoins; haven't I stepped on enough pits years ago? --- It feels like the current difficulty has increased tenfold compared to five years ago; it's intense. --- RWA is indeed stable; however, the yields aren't as exaggerated as imagined. --- Brothers still fantasizing about doubling tomorrow, wake up. --- Playing with this set of rules with idle money is the right move; going all-in is truly gambling. --- The AI blockchain link project is somewhat interesting, but you also need to choose the right projects.

That's right, if you're still day trading now, you should wake up already. RWA is indeed attractive, but the threshold feels a bit high. Those who are constantly cutting losses really deserve it; the market's lessons are the harshest. My friend was fully invested in BTC, and when it dropped 10%, he completely broke down. To be honest, seeing him like that, I knew he had no right to be in this game. DePIN needs to be studied slowly; don't follow the trend and buy everything, or you'll lose money.

You're not wrong. Still day-trading daily, truly living in the last era. Sold fake coins for three months, and in the end, after fees, I still lost money. Glad I saw this article. I haven't thoroughly researched DePIN and RWA. Can someone tell me if it's reliable or not? Institutions have already arrived, and we're still chasing highs and selling lows. Honestly, we're just giving away money.

Well said, but I've already been doing this for a while... I've added BTC to my holdings three times, but I still haven't broken even.
