Every cycle they promise us the same thing:
“Right now everything will grow, the main thing is to wait.”
But the reality of 2025 is different:
the market increasingly resembles not investments, but a global casino.
## 🧨 From investments to financial nihilism
When people for years:
- cannot buy housing,
- see inflation that eats away at salaries,
- watching pairs of tokens make x10, while their portfolio stands still,
a simple thought arises:
'The system is still against me — so I just have to take a risk.'
This is financial nihilism:
when a person stops believing in 'normal' ways of earning
and starts looking for the button 'shoot or die'.

## 📉 The classic market no longer pulls
Earlier, the scheme was simple:
- bought bitcoin and top altcoins,
- waited for the cycle,
- took x5–x10.
Now the picture is different:
- tokens — thousands,
- liquidity — a limited amount,
- 2–3% of projects take almost all the returns.
Result: most are in the red,
but several 'chosen' coins fly into space, like ZEC or some private projects.
People look at this and say:
'Okay, since you still need to get lucky — let's play.'

## ⚙ Perpetuals, memes, and prediction markets
Against this background, three directions are soaring:
1. Perpetual futures
– 50x, 100x, the 'long/short' button in one tap.
– Easy to enter, even easier to liquidate.
2. Meme tokens and hype lots on Pump.fun
– The logic is simple: 'either x50 or zero'.
– This is not even investments, this is a lottery disguised as crypto.
3. Prediction markets — the new economy of bets
– Platforms where you can bet not only on the token's price,
but also on elections, events, news, sports.
– Crypto is finally turning into a layer of bets on top of reality.
For a person in the mode of 'either break free or perish'
such a system looks fairer than the classic market.

## 🤔 The question is not 'to play or not', but how to survive
The world is changing, but that doesn't mean you should:
- jumping into everything,
- believe any 'x100 Narrative',
- putting the last money on the meme coin.
In such a reality, three rules help:
1. Separate investments and bets
– What you are ready to lose without pain — can be placed on hype, memes, prediction markets.
– Everything else — into more understandable assets and strategies.
2. Use trends, don't pray for a miracle
– Watch where liquidity is going: privacy, AI, perp-DEXs, prediction markets.
– Enter not 'because it looks good on Twitter', but because capital is really flowing there.
3. Don't forget that the casino always takes its share
– Exchange, platform, market maker — all have already baked their profit into the system.
– Your task is not to become fuel, but to take your own and leave before the crowd.
## 🧩 Conclusion: market chaos is not a sentence
Yes, the world has become like a global casino.
Yes, the classic 'buy and forget' works worse and worse.
But this chaos has a plus:
who can think systematically and does not burn out in emotions — gains an advantage.
You don't have to be a perfect trader.
Enough:
- understand where the investment is, and where the pure bet is,
- tracking major trends,
- do not turn every entry into the last bet of life.
The market has become harsher.
But it is exactly in such cycles that those who later live off percentages for decades are born.
