Recently, I have looked at many projects and feel that there is at least a 10x potential. But from a global macro perspective, there is indeed a possibility of a mid- to long-term cut in this position. It’s not really the best time to rush in right now. Even if there is a short-term increase, it’s easy to fall back later, and the returns don’t justify the risks. So it’s better to stay calm and continue observing.



The crypto market has rebounded a bit recently, but the momentum still feels insufficient. BTC faces significant resistance around 98,000-100,000, so I will continue to wait.

In fact, the principal can be accumulated slowly. Opportunities that truly change lives often only come once every few years. The problem is never a lack of good targets, but judgment and patience. On the other hand, people with less capital are always thinking about turning things around, and this mindset is the easiest to cause problems.

Warren Buffett has an interesting saying: If you only have 20 investment opportunities in your lifetime, you will be especially cautious. Munger also said that removing their top 10 most successful investments, the remaining results are actually quite ordinary. The logic behind this is clear — ordinary investors don’t need to seize every opportunity; as long as they can identify those few key moments with low risk and high reward, it’s enough to change their life trajectory.

Looking back over the past ten years, only about 4 "life-changing trades" have truly had a decisive impact on the outcome, and almost all of them occur once every few years. Most of the other time is uneventful. The rest of the time is spent doing one thing — avoiding pitfalls.

These pitfalls are not only in investing. Real life is the same — relatives, relationships, marriage, career, all present unseen tests at different stages.

To be honest, I'm just worried that those with a get-rich-quick mentality, holding a few thousand dollars hoping to get rich overnight, will end up as the bagholders. Wait, when exactly did you make these 4 personal trades? Want to compare notes.

Let's put it this way, those who truly make money are never the ones chasing every rise and fall, but rather those who can hold their nerve. Wait, are those 4 life trades you mentioned really always actively seized? Or is it just luck? Having less capital and rushing to turn things around is indeed a common flaw among most people. No wonder they end up losing everything. Honestly, right now BTC is in a bit of an awkward position. I agree that the short-term rebound momentum is lacking. But to say never to touch it at all? I think it really depends on an individual's risk tolerance. Identifying low-risk, high-reward opportunities sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Most people simply can't tell what a truly good timing is. From investment to marriage and career, they’re all pitfalls—this analogy is quite spot on.

That's right, I'm just afraid of those who get impatient and shout about bottom-fishing every day, often taking the final step. Mindset really determines everything. What's the use of a 10x space? Staying alive and avoiding being liquidated is the most important thing. Sticking to avoiding pitfalls is better than anything else; it's much more reliable than blindly chasing that little bit of profit. I've heard Buffett's theories many times, but it's rare to find someone who can truly implement them. With less principal, you need to stay calm even more; getting anxious means losing. I haven't felt this rebound at all; BTC at this level is just entangled. Let's wait and see. If you can't recognize key moments, it's very hard to change anything. The real issue isn't lack of opportunity. Waiting doesn't hurt; anyway, there are plenty of chances to bottom-fish. Four trades can change your life, and the rest of the time is just riding along—that's the truth.

说实话,这套理论听起来很舒服,但我在mempool监控套利机器人那边的数据不太支持。99%的人根本没有识别"关键时刻"的能力,反而是在gas war里疲于奔命。与其等待那虚无缥缈的4笔人生交易,不如学会在价差里薅点真实收益,风险还更可控。
