Recently, there have been significant increases in both Ethereum and altcoins. I've noticed many friends around me are eager to enter the market. As an experienced player who has gone through several cycles of bull and bear markets, I want to say that this field is really not as simple as it seems. Cryptocurrency indeed represents the future direction of financial technology development; you can see that even traditional financial institutions are laying out plans in this field, indicating that it does have its value. However, do not be swayed by those 'get rich overnight' legendary stories; the risks in this market are much greater than they appear on the surface.

I particularly want to remind new investors that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and a small mistake could lead to total loss. There are several directions I think are particularly worth paying attention to in 2025: first, the compliance process of stablecoins, which could bring new investment opportunities; second, the DeFi sector is evolving towards a safer and more efficient 2.0 version; the environmentally friendly concept of green digital assets is also an emerging track; and those NFT projects with real application scenarios are no longer just simple image speculation.

However, it is important to note that the regulatory policies in the country regarding virtual currency trading and mining are very strict, and this is an absolute red line that cannot be crossed. Recently, the EU launched the OES, which, although it claims to be compliant, any new thing needs to be tested by the market, so it is advisable to maintain a wait-and-see attitude. My suggestion is that if you are really interested in this field, you might as well start with small investments while taking the time to learn the basics of blockchain. Remember, in this market, controlling risk is more important than pursuing returns.
