Last night, my social timeline was flooded with the same message: LUNA is launching a new trading pair, the bots are about to start, and whales are hoarding, with a year-end target of $0.5! The group was in an uproar, as if witnessing the next hundredfold myth. I stared at that announcement, but my hand didn’t click on the trading app—because two years ago, I had seen a nearly identical script, just with different names for the main characters. That time, I believed in the 'technical facts' and 'buying momentum,' and as a result, my account shrank by 80%.
This time, I did the exact opposite: I cleared all speculative positions similar to LUNA, converted all the redeemed funds into USDD, and deposited them into @usddio's stable yield pool. Watching the excited remarks about 'launch pads' and 'explosive growth,' I suddenly felt a strange calm. In a market full of dreams, sometimes the most rational choice is to embrace those assets without dreams.
The most subtle aspect of the LUNA story is that it packages an essentially old narrative of 'buying pressure drives price up' with technical terms like 'listing strength', 'automated trading', and 'smart liquidity'. But anyone with a bit of experience knows that new trading pairs may cause volatility, but do not create value; trading bots can generate volume, but do not change the fundamentals. When everyone is confused by these terms, they often overlook the most fundamental question: what is the actual value support of this asset?
This is also why I choose USDD. In the @usddio system, there are no fancy narratives, only simple mathematics. Each USDD is backed by excess encrypted assets on-chain, with stable, transparent, and verifiable value. It does not promise to take you to $0.5, but it promises that your assets will not go to zero overnight. In the world of cryptocurrency, filled with dreams and traps, sometimes 'boredom' can be a virtue.
My investment logic is now very simple: use USDD to protect my wealth baseline and chase market hotspots with a very small portion of funds. This way, even if that speculative portion is completely lost, my core assets remain safe and continue to appreciate steadily. This strategy allows me to calmly observe the frenzy surrounding LUNA - I do not need to judge whether it can reach $0.5, because regardless of the outcome, I am already prepared.
If you are surrounded by various stories of 'explosive growth', perhaps you can ask yourself a question: how much principal are you willing to bet on a fancy narrative coming true? By considering this question, you may understand why some seasoned investors choose to embrace the most 'boring' stable assets when the market is at its most fervent.
#USDD sees trust in stability - when the market tempts you with complex stories, true wisdom is to adhere to simple truths. Stability is not a lack of imagination, but standing firmly on solid ground while others chase phantoms.
