Family, who understands these heart-wrenching moments! A few days ago when I cleared $rave, I looked at the price of 106 and secretly rejoiced, thinking 'I really got a good bite of this small profit,' but then this morning, when I opened my eyes to check the market, I slapped my thigh in disbelief; it actually surged to a high of 250! I can guarantee that most of the friends in front of the screen are probably slapping their thighs in regret, after all, we have been worn down by small fluctuations of thirty to fifty for so long that even getting to 100 feels like 'chosen gains.' We've long forgotten what a real bull market should look like.
But don't just dwell on being emo; as an old hand immersed in the industry for many years, I need to share some valuable insights with you. This time, the 'counterattack' of $rave actually hides an important change in the industry recently. Understanding this can save you half a year's detours!
I wonder if you all have noticed that the quality of new projects from leading platforms has visibly improved recently? It's no longer the pattern of 'launching a wave and then cooling down' like before. The core reason is that the platforms have changed their screening logic: they no longer blindly release new projects but instead let projects run in a small ecological environment first. Only after validating their actual performance and having a real profit effect will they provide further support. This operation is equivalent to adding a layer of 'safety cushion' for us ordinary participants, blocking out those trash projects that only want to raise money. From the recent projects that have landed, this screening mechanism is indeed becoming more and more mature; we must give a thumbs up to this rigorous attitude!
Speaking of which, someone must be asking: 'Since the new project market is getting better and better, why don't you just quit your job and go full-time?' Haha, this is the core point I want to talk to you about, never easily go all in! I am currently maintaining a rhythm of 16+4, which seems intense, but this model of 'main job as a safety net + side job for extra income' is the most stable way to make money. Just like this morning's ARTX, I handled it easily during the fragmented time in the morning. After finishing my main job yesterday, it was already three in the morning, yet I was still sitting in front of the computer checking data. It's not that I'm intense; it's about being responsible for my own wallet!
Many people trip up, either being caught up in 'fear of missing out' and chasing high prices, or blindly going full-time and can't withstand market fluctuations. In fact, in the crypto circle, 'patience' and 'risk control' are the most valuable skills. We don't need to envy those who seem to make quick money; we should maintain our own rhythm, understand the platform's screening logic, find the right targets that easily present opportunities, and slowly accumulate instead to go further.
