Brothers, I experienced the familiar 'heartbeat package' again yesterday - ETH pulled up from around 2800, it seemed like it was about to surge, and there were calls for 'patterns' in the group, but in the end, it couldn't hold and fell back down. The price has more or less returned, but several brothers in the group lost their positions due to leverage. I consider myself lucky to have exited quickly; according to my previous plan, before it reached 3030, I closed all my long positions at the bottom. If I missed out, then so be it. Now I’m staring at the chart, thinking about head and shoulders, bullish bats, calculating to short at 3030, and bottom fishing at 2620… these levels and strategies are battling in my mind. To be honest, calculating these makes me feel quite 'professional', but the hesitation before execution and the tension afterward leave me mentally and physically exhausted. I suddenly realized a problem: all my energy and emotions are bound to the task of 'predicting the next precise point for ETH', like a firefighter on standby 24 hours a day, always worried about where the next fire (surge or drop) will occur. Is this really the essence of investing? Is there a way to partially free myself from the anxiety of this precise point speculation?
This sense of exhaustion makes me start to reflect on the underlying logic of trading strategies. We study head and shoulders, calculate theoretical declines (for example, from 3030 to 2614), essentially attempting to capture and utilize market volatility. This is important; it is one of the means to profit in the market. But the problem is, if we invest the majority of our assets and attention in this close combat with volatility, we are simultaneously fully exposed to the risks of volatility—'many people have seen prices return, but their positions are gone' is the cruelest proof. Do we need a 'strategic rear,' an asset allocation that can exist stably and even appreciate without relying on precise predictions of ETH levels? This idea, like a beam of light, illuminates the corners of crypto investment often overlooked by short-term traders: the value storage function of stable assets. And this is exactly what @usddio and its advocated #USDD principle of stability is attempting to build as the cornerstone for the entire ecosystem.
Imagine if you divide the tasks of your investment portfolio:
'Special forces' (volatile assets): A portion of funds is used for swing operations on assets like ETH, executing precise tactics such as 'shorting at 3030, bottom fishing at 2620' to capture opportunities brought by high volatility.
'Logistics base' (stable assets): Another portion of core funds is allocated in stablecoins like @usddio's USDD. The mission of this 'base' is not to conquer territories but to provide absolutely stable value storage and liquidity that can be accessed at any time.
What revolutionary changes will this bring?
Mental transformation: When ETH is experiencing violent fluctuations between 3030 and 2620, you won't feel anxious because you are fully invested in it. Because you know that your 'logistics base' (USDD) maintains a constant value, unaffected. You can observe the market more calmly and execute the tactics of 'special forces' rather than being driven by fear and greed.
Risk isolation: Even if your 'special forces' encounter setbacks (for example, a short position is stopped out), it won't harm your fundamentals. Your 'logistics base' remains intact, providing you with the capital to make a comeback.
Seizing opportunities: When ETH really drops to 2620 or even lower, you don’t need to liquidate other positions; you can directly mobilize USDD from your 'logistics base' and calmly buy in batches, achieving real 'left-side positioning' or 'right-side adding positions.'
Continuous income: When the market direction is unclear and fluctuating endlessly, your USDD 'logistics base' is not idle; it can generate stable income through safe DeFi protocols, achieving 'lying down to earn' and effectively hedging trading losses.
Therefore, more important than getting tangled up in 'shorting at 3030 or bottom fishing at 2620' is to first build your 'logistics base.' The stability of USDD, ensured by @usddio through over-collateralization and transparency mechanisms, provides the most reliable guarantee for this 'base.' #USDD以稳见信, the trust is not only in price linkage but also a promise that allows you to always have a safe harbor amidst the storms of the crypto market. When you have established such a solid base, your perspective on ETH's fluctuations will be completely different: you are no longer a 'surfer' tossed around by the market but a 'fleet commander' with a sturdy aircraft carrier. The market will always fluctuate, but your wealth cornerstone can be as steady as a mountain.
