I see on social media, many people still ask questions like:

"Is it the right time to buy BTC at this price, brother?"

"How much should ETH wait to buy?"

In investing, especially in the crypto market like Bitcoin ($BTC) or Ethereum ($ETH), there are two terms that are easily confused: Price and Value.

- Price is the number you see every day, rising and falling continuously like a roller coaster.

- Value is what the asset is truly worth; even if the price drops or soars, the value remains there, waiting for someone to understand it.

In the crypto market:

- Even if $BTC drops to $30,000, it doesn't mean it has lost its value. It is still a currency that no one controls, with a limited supply, and is increasingly recognized by countries and organizations.

- $ETH may drop to $1,000 compared to the old peak of $4,800, but it is the backbone of many decentralized applications (DeFi, NFT, Web3). It's still the same ETH; the market just hasn't priced it correctly yet.

🏅 Just like Gold, we buy because its value is gold, not because of the brand.

If you say this price is high, then what price is considered low? In investing, there are no definitions of high or low prices, only reasonable prices.

🤔 Why is $BTC and $ETH the main focus in my portfolio, and not other altcoins or memecoins or shitcoins?

Because it is the mother coin of this market. That's why only BTC and ETH break out this season.

- $BTC is king, where big money first flows in.

- $ETH is the foundation, where applications, ecosystems, smart contracts, and DeFi operate.

🔸 For example: If crypto is a tree, then BTC is the trunk, ETH is the roots, while altcoins and memecoins are the flowers and leaves.

Why only BTC and ETH break out this season?

Because big money comes in first, they choose assets with high reliability, large liquidity, and real value.

🤡 What about altcoins or memecoins?

It can increase strongly, but the risks are also multiplied.

x10 x30 x50 x100 xxxx easy? Correct. But x0 can also quickly lead to the ground.

✅ Therefore, in the financial market, safety is always more important than profit.

'The crowd focuses on price, while the house focuses on time.

Value investing does not look at price but at time. Being rich is a process (accumulation), being poor is a reason.

⚠️ Remember:

Price and value

They are the two core factors in investing

Like Yang and Yin

Yin formation

Positive ionization

Yang creates Yin

Yin nourishes Yang

> Therefore, Yang creates Yin

Price, margin, and short-term trading are always positive.

But thanks to short-term survival, we gain experience, long-term accumulation is Yin.

Phenomena must be strong and numerous enough to create essence > is Yin.

Once Yin is formed and shaped, it will nourish and create many Yang.

🔸 For example: A person with real trading talent will create many paths, many short-term trading methods according to trends.

- Price, margin, and short-term trading are always positive.

- Long-term value, survival capability rather than prosperity or decline, the ability to survive through storms, is Yin.

Looking at the essence, all phenomena are just a disguise of $essence.

❗️This is what I survived and experienced, summarized over time being punched by the Market.
