Opportunities are right in front of you, it might just be a matter of taking the final step
Let's first talk about the routines of these years:
In 2017, hot ICOs; in 2020, DeFi; in 2021, public chain hype; in 2023, Meme chasing—each cycle is the same. Early movers laugh last, latecomers can only eat the leftovers. Chasing hot topics can make quick money, but the real gains come only when you see the trend early.
This round of rate cuts isn't any different. BTC rose from 80,000 to 90,000, which is basically people trading on expectations. When the truth is revealed, the price drops—experienced traders know this well—smart money had already laid out their plans before the news broke.
Why is this year so frustrating? Because the rules have changed.
The market keeps replaying the same script: dump → force liquidation → accumulate → rally, retail investors get chopped up. But who’s making the money? Big institutions. Leading asset management firms, ETF products, listed companies... all quietly increasing their BTC holdings.
This market isn’t a retail carnival anymore; institutions are doing long-term reallocations.
Basically, it’s like this:
Don’t stick to the old ball game; don’t get emotionally driven into chasing highs and selling lows. Choose your direction carefully, lay your traps early, and be patient—this is way more interesting than predicting ups and downs every day.
The market will fluctuate, stories will evolve, but opportunities always favor those who quietly position themselves when the noise is at its lowest.
The wave has just started, there’s still plenty of time.

The reasoning is sound, but I just want to ask—how many retail investors can really stay patient? It's easy to talk, but hard to follow through.
