Stop deceiving yourself.

You are not 'investing in ASTER'; you are betting on getting rich in seven years with just three days of patience.

But the reality is: you can't even endure three days.

The most absurd illusion in the crypto world is that retail investors think they can win——

Winning over CZ's strategic vision, winning over the millisecond reactions of quantitative machines, winning over the tidal wave of selling pressure unlocked by VCs, and even winning over their own fears and greed.

Duan Yongping has long pointed out the truth:

"Retail investors are already at a comprehensive disadvantage in terms of capital, information, and research capabilities; with the emergence of quantitative trading, this gap has not been narrowed but completely crushed."

Are you still looking at K lines? AI has already categorized you as 'typical chasing and killing leek number 3721'.

You just shouted 'this time is different', and the algorithm has already flipped and smashed the market, waiting for you to cut losses and replenish.

In this battlefield, your 'effort' is meaningless. Technical indicators? Emotional cycles? All are painkillers for losers' spirits.

So what about ordinary people?

There is only one answer: completely abandon the fantasy of 'winning' and embrace the strategy of 'not losing'.

And ASTER is exactly the asset worth your 'not losing' mentality to fight for seven years.

Why ASTER?

because it is doing something that institutions dare not touch and quant cannot arbitrage:

  • Decentralized derivatives—not a meme, not vapor, but the ultimate necessity of Web3 finance. After the FTX collapse, everyone finally understood: if the money is not in your own wallet, it doesn't count as your money.

  • Self-developed L1 public chain (Aster Chain)—not to ride the BNB Chain traffic, but to fundamentally reconstruct the trading experience, pushing down the three mountains of speed, depth, and non-custodial all at once.

  • CZ endorses but does not control—there is no centralized risk, only ecological co-construction dividends. What he bets on is not the token price, but future standards.

Someone mocked: 'It’s down to 0.6 and still boasting a hundred times?'

I countered: When BNB fell to 0.09, where were you? When BTC retraced 93% that year, were you also shouting 'this time it's really over'?

History never repeats itself, but human nature always cycles.

All hundred-fold assets quietly build their bottoms during the 'collapse of consensus'.

Do you think ASTER fell because it has no value?

Wrong. It fell because the market is cleaning out people like you—without faith, without time, without vision.

The only way for retail investors to survive: do what quantitative analysis cannot do

What is quantitative analysis good at? Short-term arbitrage, emotional harvesting, liquidity predation.

What is it not good at? Waiting for an ecosystem to go from 0 to 1, accompanying a team through a bear market, believing in a vision that transcends cycles.

This is your only chance to win:

Exchange time for space, exchange faith for compound interest.

But the premise is:

You have to admit you can't beat the machine.

You have to accept that the next three years may be sideways or even downward.

You have to treat ASTER as a 'bottom asset that won't move for seven years', rather than a 'gambling chip that will double by tomorrow'.

How to hold on? Two tough moves:

1. Physical isolation method

Transfer ASTER to a cold wallet, delete market software.

Tell yourself: I will not look at the price before 2032.

Looking once, the heart gets confused once; being confused once, gets you closer to cutting losses.

2. Hedging for survival

Use excessive collateral stablecoins (like USDD) or BTC as the base position,

so that even if ASTER falls to 0.01, you won't be liquidated.

Attack relies on ASTER, defense relies on certainty—this is the configuration of mature players.

Controversial point: ASTER should not be 'traded' at all.

The vast majority of people buy ASTER, not because they believe in the future of decentralized derivatives,

but because 'CZ said so', 'it might skyrocket', 'others made money'.

This kind of motivation is destined to fail.

True holders should be like early BNB holders:

not concerned about short-term fluctuations, not worried about unlocking pressure, not participating in public disputes.

They only ask one question: Will on-chain derivatives become mainstream in seven years?

If the answer is 'yes', then today's price of 0.6 or 0.06 doesn't matter at all.

If the answer is 'no', then you should liquidate and leave now, don't waste time.

Let me say something harsh:

If you don't even have the awareness of 'I can accept going to zero',

if you can't even achieve the determination of 'not looking at the market for seven years',

then you are not worthy of holding ASTER.

This is not intimidation; it’s selection.

CZ doesn't need your likes,

the market doesn't need your understanding,

history only needs you—either roll away or stay.

And real wealth,

is forever reserved for those who dare to bet their fate on the future when no one believes.

Will ASTER reach 1000U?

I don't know.

But I know:

On the day it reaches 1000U, you certainly won't be on the bus—because you want to get off today.

Choose.

Will you be the 'I knew it early' person who slaps their thigh ten years later,

or will you just shut up, lock up, and go to sleep now?

Time will shred all disguises.
