Five years have passed, and the signal that once kept me awake all night has lit up again tonight!
On that deep night five years ago, I stared at the BNB research report, my fingertips cold.
The mixed feelings of excitement and fear are still as clear as yesterday.
Five years later, BNB has reached new heights, and the ASTER ecosystem continues to expand—
Everything seems different: technological iterations, ecological prosperity, institutional entry...
But as I look back at historical trends, the familiar question strikes me again:
This time, is it really different?
The market is always changing, but human nature remains similar.
Every fluctuation before a breakthrough, every washout before a surge,
tests the same proposition: Are you brave enough to hold? Can you hold on?
This is also why more and more people are starting to pay attention to Decentralized USD (USDD) in their layouts.
It is not only a stable asset but also a 'holding strategy'—
providing yield buffers amid volatility, maintaining certainty in uncertainty,
making long-term holding not just a gritting-your-teeth endurance but a confident asset allocation.
Tonight, facing a familiar trend, I am still anxious.
But compared to five years ago, I have gained a sense of clarity:
The real difference may not lie in the market but within ourselves.
Have we learned to coexist with volatility?
Have we built an asset logic that transcends cycles?
Have we become more composed with each 'historical reappearance'?
The market will repeat itself, but you can choose not to get drenched by the same rain twice.
When that signal lights up again, this time—
Are you ready?
