What have we seen in the past two bull markets?

The explosive rallies in 2017 and 2021 saw countless coins skyrocket by hundreds or even thousands of times, shining brightly. But upon reflection, how many retail investors actually made money? The answer might be disappointing—few.

Behind those glamorous numbers of gains lies a harsh truth: true winners never chase the top. They all start from a common point—the market bottom, when the crowd is sparse. They quietly build positions, regardless of the shocks or shakeouts along the way, holding their chips steady. The market's routine has long been scripted; history simply repeats itself in a different guise.

There is a hard rule in the crypto market: 80% of the time is spent grinding and shaking out weak hands, with only 20% of the time seeing explosive growth. The problem is, most people can't endure that long grind and run out of resources before dawn.

In this bull market, the key is to lock in on coins with solid fundamentals. Personally, I am optimistic about the performance of mainstream meme coins, and I have been heavily invested in these assets for over four years. The strategy is simple—gradually accumulate, hold firm, and endure the pain.

Many ask when they can turn things around. My answer is: don't focus on short-term fluctuations, don't be driven by emotions. Those who persevere will eventually cross the dark river and reach the other side. The moments when you grit your teeth and push through are the times when wealth accumulates the fastest.
