Stop chasing those 1000x dreams on the chain. That’s not investing; it’s fueling the machine gun pool. Accept reality to survive, reasons: 1/ Early bonus has vanished: Crypto has been institutionalized; you are no longer an Early Adopter, you are part of the liquidity. 2/ Counterparty evolution: Your opponent is no longer Old Wang next door but AI models and top-tier quant firms (Citadel/Jane Street) responding in milliseconds. 3/ Exponential difficulty leap: The threshold to make money is more than an order of magnitude higher than in 2020. But why haven’t we pulled out yet? Because the volatility premium in crypto remains the top among global assets. Whether it’s fee arbitrage or volatility capture, the advantages here are still much more apparent than in traditional finance. Core logic: Make money and then switch to BTC. Stay patient; before June is the window for active deployment. Keywords: Focus & Patience. 💎
