The Cruel Truth of the Crypto Market: If You Want to Win, You Must See Through This
This may make you uncomfortable, but I must be frank—this is the reality of the crypto market. It's this reality that makes some people rich from cryptocurrency, while others lose everything they've saved.
❗ The market's logic is never based on project fundamentals or technical analysis, but on attention.
You may spend months researching, reading dozens of white papers, and analyzing chart after chart, but a single viral trend, a single tweet, or a major media event can cause a coin's price to increase tenfold or even a hundredfold, completely unrelated to the technology or actual product.
Look at these examples:
AI tokens like RENDER, NEAR, and $TAO: Their prices aren't driven by the superiority of their AI technology, but by the attention generated by ChatGPT's global phenomenon.
Metaverse tokens like AXS, SAND, and $MANA: Their price increases aren't driven by the creation of a brilliant virtual universe, but by the hype surrounding Facebook's rebranding to Meta.
Meme coins like DOGE, SHIBA, and $PEPE: They lack a clear ecosystem or practical applications, yet a single tweet from Elon Musk about "dog" can create a stir.
The harsh truth is: it's never about technology; it's always about storytelling and hype.
🌀 The market cycle often goes something like this:
A new trend attracts attention → Money starts flowing in → Prices skyrocket → Smart money quietly exits → Retail investors are trapped at high prices → The trend subsides, and the next cycle repeats with a new trend.
This market doesn't care how in-depth your research is, how impressive your roadshow is, or how many pages your white paper has; it simply follows the flow of attention.
You have two choices: complain and blame the market, or accept reality and adapt.
I share this with the sincere hope that you can profit from this cycle—avoid being swept away by FOMO (fear of missing out), avoid being trapped at high prices, and avoid losing everything by believing false stories.
Learn to observe the flow of attention, understand market psychology, track trends, and act at critical moments. Once you master this principle, you're no longer just a follower of the market; you're the one who proactively sets the direction.
If you find these words valuable, please share them—perhaps they can help someone avoid a major mistake.
