$恶俗企鹅 In the capital market, the most difficult layer to participate in is not the stock market, but that step before going public. It is the arena for institutions and high-net-worth individuals, and also a world where ordinary people are kept outside.

There is no doubt that the biggest opportunity for ordinary people in this era is in the cryptocurrency space. But have you ever thought about why, despite the many opportunities in cryptocurrency, the people making money are never you? The truth is simple: it's not that there are too few opportunities in cryptocurrency, but rather that your approach to seizing opportunities has been wrong from the very beginning.

Money is not made through luck.

In traditional financial markets, an annualized return of 10% is already quite good. But in the cryptocurrency space, most people's expectations are infinitely elevated; they look down upon a 10% daily gain, with countless individuals aiming for a hundredfold or thousandfold increase. As a result, most people rush into contracts and speculative coins, but they only see that a 1% rise in contracts can bring in large profits, while they fail to recognize that a 1% drop can wipe them out completely.

This mentality leads you to be unsatisfied with the slow growth of Bitcoin and Ethereum. You would rather invest 100,000 yuan in contracts rather than commit to a monthly investment of 5,000 yuan in Bitcoin.

Human nature inherently despises delayed gratification; everyone wants to get rich quickly, and no one is willing to slowly accumulate wealth.

Thus, you enter an infinite loop: chasing a hot coin → hurriedly selling after a small profit → regretting it when it continues to soar → looking for the next potential coin → unfortunate to be trapped → cutting losses to exit.

Ultimately, your capital diminishes continuously through repeated transaction fees and losses, until it reaches zero.

The cryptocurrency space is not a casino; those who can truly make money in the long term have never relied on luck but rather on patience. As Buffett said, "No one wants to get rich slowly." Yet, ironically, getting rich slowly is the most reliable way to make money in cryptocurrency.

People can never earn money beyond their understanding.

A common saying among seasoned cryptocurrency investors is: I have sold countless hundredfold and thousandfold coins.

But to be honest, if given another chance, you would still be unable to hold onto it. Because you lack the understanding and faith to persist in holding your investments. The hardest part of investing in cryptocurrency is not finding good projects, but rather being able to hold onto them. When your assets double in just a few days, the temptation to sell is immense. And when you see your account shrink by 50%, fear will drive you to cut losses and exit.
