Amid everyone's overwhelming New Year blessings, 2025 has come to an end.

This year, the market wasn't disastrous, with a decline of about 6%.
The real tragedy lies with those knockoff projects, where even a 50% cut is considered mild, delivering brutal 50% discounts, blood flowing in rivers.

Therefore, in the financial markets, the more confident the prediction, the louder the slap in the face.
Those who truly survive are never the ones with the most accurate forecasts, but rather those with the strictest risk control, the most stable positions, and the mental resilience to withstand the pressure.

If in 2025 you only hold and do not trade, only buy and never sell,
Congratulations, you are the year's biggest loser.
Others made money trading stocks, gold and silver soared, index funds earned passively,
While we lost in the crypto world—losing here, losing there, our mindset plunging into negative territory.

And the most painful part isn't losing money itself,
But when you lose money, others are making money*.
This comparison is the real poison, gradually eroding your mental strength.
Many people's mindset collapses at this moment—
From "Hold on, it will come back" → "Maybe I should switch tracks" → "Am I not suited for the crypto world" → Completely giving up.

This is the cruelty of human nature:
We can't really fight ourselves.
That's why we need a community, a few close friends, a leader, a motivating KOL—
When you're about to go crazy, they pat your shoulder and say, "If you can hold on, you'll make money,"
Or they curse the market with you and share a couple of drinks—sometimes, just a little psychological comfort is enough to help you survive in this brutal market.

The most important thing during a bear market is never to bet everything on predictions, but to:
Tighten your belt, save coins together, endure together.
Until one day, when the bull market suddenly arrives, everyone reunites and congratulates each other.

The current crypto scene has basically ended its super dividend period.
What follows is the period of popularization, stock competition, and real financial battles.
For ordinary people like us, the only money left to earn is the part generated by the industry’s growth itself.

Just like back in the day with Taobao,
It felt as easy as drinking water to make money,
Thought I was incredibly awesome.
But when the era’s dividend receded,
I realized my skills were just so-so,
Without accumulation or a moat, I was crushed to dust in an instant.

The crypto world is the same.
The wind is there, the trend is there, making money feels as natural as breathing;
When the big trend is gone, just focus on self-cultivation, conserve your assets, and wait for the cycle.

The universe is fair, but also ruthless.
It doesn't reward the smartest, nor the hardest working,
It only rewards—**the ones who survive the longest**.

Hold on, don’t rush to change industries. Maybe next year, we can still post a circle of friends: "Bull run, back soon!"
