There's really no point in getting jealous about how much others are making, how deep their pockets are, or how insane their ROI is, or even if they just happened to catch the right wave.
In investing, whether it's a year or a couple of years, the differences can be pretty glaring—you might see someone flipping their portfolio overnight, while others struggle for years; some stack profits with big capital, while others ride crazy gains like they’re using cheats. But once you stretch your view to five years, ten years, or even longer, those apparent disparities often get smoothed out by time.
Luck might score you a bargain, but eventually, you’ll pay the price for not having the right insight; leveraging your wins can backfire, and a single sharp market shakeup could wipe out both your principal and interest; the hype driven by bull runs will eventually settle back to your real level.
There’s no shortage of bright examples that eventually dim—some were once unstoppable, only to later suffer huge losses; others shone in one bull market but vanished in the next bear; and then there are those who bet big and crashed because of the same reckless courage.
So the hardest part of investing has never been about how explosive your annual returns are, but rather, after many years, can you still stand firm in this game?
Everyone has their own rhythm; some harvest early, while others awaken later; some rise before crashing, while others endure before winning. What really matters isn’t whether you rode a specific wave, but whether you can continuously refine yourself, dodge those potentially deadly pitfalls, protect your capital, and maintain your mindset.
At the end of the day, investing isn’t about short-term bursts of strength; it’s about whether you can withstand the cyclical ups and downs, remaining in the game when the noise dies down.
So there’s really no need to envy anyone; someone else’s harvest is their own rhythm, and your own accumulation is your own destination.
Everyone has their own trajectory; there are no shortcuts in life, because if you skip even a little, you won’t make it out.
Today I accidentally saw that, now Binance’s AI strategy is strongly bullish on the mainstream coin #sol . I haven’t really played around with it before, and I haven’t paid much attention to this area either— so I’m just making a record here. Let’s check the effectiveness of this bullish strategy again next week.
After Byte employees earn tens of millions (30 million), money is already taken care of— what’s most lacking next?
Influence.
When someone who’s already made several tens of millions starts building their own personal IP, it means that “influence” has become a new category of assets. If even people who are already financially independent think it’s worth spending time to build their influence, then influence itself is very likely the next era’s most underrated asset.
Last month I challenged myself to “earn 100U every day.” The result was that every day I gained a lot—except there was no U. This month, let me think about what the next challenge should be?
Unknowingly, the price of #SpaceX has reached $170 again.
With a rebound from 147 to 170, SpaceX is scheduled to formally join the Nasdaq 100 in just 6 days. Is there not much time left to help retail investors break even?
Do you think this will be the start of the next major uptrend, or a chance to shake things out first? #SPCX #SpaceX
Recently, it has been疯狂 promoting its new product, STRC, to raise more funding and drive more investment. In the past, most people who bought Strategy stocks were: BTC believers and technology growth stock investors, but: Pension funds, insurance funds, and retirement accounts don’t like stocks without cash flow.
They prefer: monthly dividend payouts, fixed income, and bond-like products. So the entire marketing focus of STRC is: 12% Income Dividend Twice a Month instead of: Bitcoin will hit $1M. Note: The target customer has changed. It is attracting: people who like stable returns. Thus a closed loop is formed: issue products ↓ raise funds ↓ buy BTC ↓ BTC appreciates ↓ balance sheet strengthens ↓ credit improves ↓ issue more products ↓ continue buying BTC
BTC will next bounce back and forth between these two positions! After dropping to 58,000 in the morning, it quickly pulled back, and a large amount of liquidity has gathered below. The stop-loss liquidation chips above are also rapidly moving downward. There won’t be such a smooth selloff, and there won’t be such a smooth rally either. Range-bound trading is the main theme!
I don’t believe it will drop a big one all at once! There’s nothing underneath to take it—if it really smashes down hard, the main force won’t be able to collect much in terms of shares either.
Should we still go to 61,000 to blow up the short sellers—that would be interesting?
On Binance Square, the people sending messages and leaving comments really are fewer now. A single hot article can keep getting pushed to you for several rounds, even though you always just skim past it. It looks like when the bear market gets intense, retail investors don’t have much to do. Articles aren’t posted anymore, comments aren’t made, and likes aren’t clicked.😂
Many big KOLs’ large funds have been trapped at position 4.
Last year, after a wave of bullishness began following a small double bottom formed at positions 1 and 2 last year.
So far this year, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index has reached 17, and a major head-and-shoulders bottom has also formed. However, the market doesn’t seem to be buying it— the right shoulder doesn’t look particularly strong;
The main reason is that there isn’t a strong bullish narrative in the market anymore. In the past, every year had a round of mini bull market. Will this time be different, or will there be the next inscription-driven market cycle?
1000 trillion KRW AI data centers built before 2035. What does it mean? In the future, South Korea will continue purchasing: GPUs, CPUs, SSDs, network switches, power equipment, and cooling systems. So the long-term outlook is positive: AI Infrastructure. The beneficiaries are not just South Korean companies. It also includes global suppliers. For example: NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, TSMC, Vertiv, Eaton, Schneider Electric will indirectly benefit as well.
