Sometimes I think, if I had mastered the market logic and information that I only understand now six months ago, I could have completed the journey I’ve taken in just two weeks. This almost explains one thing — in the crypto market, the speed of information asymmetry and cognitive upgrades directly determines your trading cycle and capital efficiency. Many things that take people half a year to understand, some have already figured out through community insights, data analysis, or tracking on-chain dynamics. So instead of blindly operating, it’s better to ask yourself first: Is the information I have the latest? Is my decision-making logic solid enough? Sometimes, the wasted detours saved are worth far more than the extra research time spent.

Damn, you're so right. The money I lost in the past six months was really just being exploited due to information asymmetry, truly. --- Speaking of which, there are still quite a few people blindly trading and asking stupid questions like "Should I buy?" --- Ignoring on-chain data and community information, doing this for half a year will naturally be slow, and isn't that just getting harvested? --- Two weeks vs. six months, the difference is whether you have the brains to do your homework, it's that simple. --- I just want to ask everyone, are you really seriously analyzing on-chain data or just scrolling through Twitter and calling it a day? --- It's tough, a bunch of people are still asking basic questions on YC forums, they should have looked up the info themselves long ago. --- I agree on this point, the ROI of investing research time is really high, a hundred times better than blindly guessing.

Information asymmetry is really incredible. Some people spend half a year studying it before understanding, while others have already cashed in on the benefits by aligning with the right people. I'm just catching up on this now, feeling like I'm always playing catch-up...

Honestly, these past six months I was that fool wasting money, and only now do I realize it in hindsight. Information gap is a matter of life and death in the crypto world. Some people profit from on-chain data while you're still just drinking soup. Instead of blindly trading every day, it's better to first understand the basic logic to avoid losing money and doubting life. The key is to find the right information sources; otherwise, no matter how much you research, it’s a lonely journey. Two weeks vs six months, the difference is truly huge. No wonder some people make crazy profits while others keep losing.

To be honest, the money lost in the past six months is actually just tuition. There's no use regretting now. I should have looked more at on-chain data earlier, instead of blindly buying. The information gap is terrifying; some people are earning more this month than I did in half a year. Damn, I’ve realized my decision-making logic is flawed again. This problem is hard to fix. Next time, I will definitely research first before jumping in; I can't rely on intuition anymore.

Well said, the information gap is truly a matter of life and death. The detours I took half a year ago now seem to be because I was always half a beat behind. Now I monitor on-chain data and community updates every day, and I feel my efficiency has skyrocketed.
