【What you buy is value, what you pay is price: The faith and understanding of long-term holders】
In the daily fluctuations of the cryptocurrency market, most people only care about the price, but those who can truly navigate through bull and bear markets never look at the price, but at the value.
This classic quote from Buffett: "What you buy is value, what you pay is price," is particularly fitting when applied to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or SUI. Because when you understand the mechanisms, evolutionary logic, and future potential behind an asset, you are no longer just a holder, but a participant.
Understanding is the greatest risk hedge
Understanding why blockchain was created, knowing the necessity of decentralization, being able to judge the governance model, economic system, and technological direction of a public chain—this knowledge itself is your most solid foundation in a bear market.
When most people only care about the current price, real investors have already extended their time horizon, looking towards the realization of value over an entire decade or even further.
Value ≠ Short-term profit
Value comes from the expansion of network effects, from the prosperity of ecosystems, from breakthroughs in technology and user recognition. These things are difficult to fully reflect in price in the short term, but they will determine the life and death of a project in the long term.
You won’t lose confidence in Ethereum just because ETH dropped 5% today; You also won’t abandon an entire growing ecosystem just because a certain public chain isn’t trending right now.
Because you understand what it is doing and believe it is moving forward.
Price is cost, belief is power
Investment is never about who sells higher, but about who can see further. When market fluctuations induce fear, you still choose to hold tight because you know what you are holding. It is not just a coin, but your bet on the future.
Those who understand value do not care about short-term prices
What truly keeps you holding coins to this day is not luck, nor courage, but your understanding and trust in value. Don't forget: each coin you hold is a record of your choice to believe in the future.
[Investing in the crypto space is not gambling, it is about whether the project has 'profitability']
In the crypto space, the rise and fall of token prices can be enticing, but what truly supports the price has never been enthusiasm, but whether the project itself can make money.
This statement sounds very ordinary, yet it is the key that most people overlook. Most investors look at a project only by checking 'Is there a KOL promoting it?', 'Is the TVL high?', 'Is the community active?', but what they should really ask is—
→ 'How does this project actually make money? And does it share any of that money with you?'

1. What is a 'profitable project'?
In the traditional world, you wouldn't buy stocks of a company that has no income at all. So why would you be willing to buy a token in the crypto space that can't even clearly explain its revenue logic?

【 COINBASE CEO: The financial system is going fully on-chain, who can become the true bearer? 】
Recently, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong released an important perspective:
> The entire financial system is moving towards on-chain.
This statement is not an exaggeration, but a conclusion drawn from the current capital market environment and the speed of constructing crypto finance. In the past, Crypto redefined payment methods, and now, the ways of raising funds for financial products, forms of equity, and methods of capital flow are also being redefined.
And Coinbase is betting on the elements with the most long-term value:
Tokenization — all assets will eventually be moved on-chain.
【 JPMorgan's Latest Analysis: The Key to Bitcoin's Short-term Trend Lies with Strategy 】

The report believes that the biggest variable affecting the short-term direction of Bitcoin is not miner sell-offs, nor is it the decline in hash rate, but whether Strategy's asset structure can remain stable.
Why Strategy?

【South Korea Promotes Stablecoin Regulatory Reform: Bank 51% Led Issuance Model Takes Shape】
The South Korean government and the National Assembly are currently promoting legislation (Digital Asset Basic Act (Phase 2 bill)) to officially include 'stablecoins' within the regulatory framework. The core content that has attracted the most attention from the outside is that the issuers of stablecoins will be limited to:
> Alliances (Consortium) where banks hold at least 51% equity
This means that in the future, the entities that can legally issue stablecoins within South Korea will be led by traditional financial institutions, while technology or blockchain industry companies may participate as minority shareholders or collaborators.

Recently, a noteworthy change occurred at CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange): the trading volume of Ether (ETH) futures has, for the first time, surpassed that of Bitcoin (BTC) futures. This change is not a one-time event, but rather reflects the shifting market preferences, risk tolerance patterns, and direction of capital allocation.

When BlackRock Mentions 'Tokenization': The Structural Turning Point Facing Global Capital Markets
Recently, BlackRock executives Larry Fink and Rob Goldstein published a lengthy article in (The Economist), clearly pointing out a trend that is reshaping the global financial market: > Tokenization will become the next stage of financial infrastructure This is not a technological optimism article, nor is it a conceptual narrative commonly mentioned in the cryptocurrency industry. The author comes from the world's largest asset management firm, overseeing more than $9 trillion in assets, and the argument reflects that the traditional financial system has begun to view 'tokenization' as a necessary systemic change. And this perspective is also changing the long-term positioning of the cryptocurrency industry.
【U.S. Stablecoin Regulatory Framework Initiated: The Introduction of the GENIUS Act May Mark the Starting Point for the Institutionalization of Crypto Finance】
U.S. federal regulators are preparing to formally propose stablecoin regulatory rules. According to the latest public hearing information, Acting Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Travis Hill has submitted testimony to Congress, declaring that the stablecoin framework will release a draft by the end of this month.
This is the most concrete policy progress since the launch of the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins) in Congress.
The core direction of the GENIUS Act is not to ban or restrict, but to:
> The stablecoin will be officially incorporated into the U.S. financial regulatory system.
And the importance of this change far exceeds the superficial conclusion that 'stablecoins can operate legally.'
【SUI Obtains Compliance Qualification in New York: A Key Node for Public Chains Moving Towards Institutional-Level Infrastructure】
Recently, SUI was officially authorized for trading in New York, obtaining listing qualifications in the most stringent financial regulatory environment in the United States.

【AI is not an internet bubble, nor is it 2008: What really changes this time is the financial structure, not the emotional cycle】
Recently, a saying has become popular in the market: Is the explosion of AI replicating the 2000 internet bubble, and could it even lay the groundwork for the next financial crisis? But if we compare the current AI with the Web2 bubble (2000) and the financial crisis (2008), we will find that the essence of these three is completely different.
Market sentiment may go in the wrong direction, but the structure does not lie.

The key difference between AI and the 2000 internet bubble
The failure of 2000 was due to:
The user base has not really arrived
Insufficient infrastructure (internet speed, computer penetration, server capacity)
【The Next Transformation in Southeast Asia: When 14% of the Filipino Population Starts Skipping the Stock Market and Directly Embraces Blockchain】
In an atmosphere of uncertainty in the global financial market, a report from PDAX (Philippine Digital Asset Exchange) has thrown a significant signal to the industry: > The 'asset tokenization market' in the Philippines could grow to $60 billion by 2030. This is not the vision that Web3 proclaims itself, but the first national-level white paper jointly launched by cryptocurrency exchanges, government departments, and financial investment institutions. More importantly, it reveals a phenomenon that is far more significant than the numbers. > The people of the Philippines are skipping the traditional financial system and directly entering Web3.
【When the speculation cycle ends, value begins to emerge: The true starting point of the Web3 bull market】
In the past few months, the main theme of the market has slowly shifted from 'speculation' to 'value'. This is not a hollow conclusion but a trend derived from the changes observed in on-chain data, user behavior, and the ecosystem's circulation. Recent observations from 10x Research highlighted this turning point: the influence of speculative funds is declining, while ecosystems that can genuinely generate users, cash flow, revenue, and deflationary mechanisms are quietly gaining strength. In other words: the underlying logic of the bull market is shifting from 'speculating on coins' to 'using them'. ---
[The real market always starts at the most pessimistic times]
In the cryptocurrency market, there is a cruel but accurate rule: The best buying points always appear at the most pessimistic moments. It's not when everyone is saying to get in, nor when hot money is flooding in crazily, but rather at this moment— When the community is buzzing about 'it's going to crash', mainstream media is pessimistic, technical indicators are distorted, and everyone starts questioning life. At times like this, it hurts a lot, but it's also a moment when only a few people will really take action. The most honest part of the market is emotions. Prices can be distorted in the short term, but emotions are always reflected in retail investors' behavior:
