The Brutal Truth of Wealth in the Crypto World (2025 Edition)
Ten years ago, most people were unaware of Bitcoin, or knew about it but dared not buy (information gap and mainstream stigmatization);
Even if they bought in, it was extremely difficult to hold until now (volatility strangulation, regulatory black boxes, safety traps, human weaknesses).
The so-called "If I had known back then, I would have bought" is essentially self-deception—ask yourself: When did you first learn about Bitcoin? If you had truly entered the market at that time, could you have weathered the 312 crash, the FTX collapse, or the 41% devaluation of Altcoins in 2024?
In 2025, you can still make money, but the core logic has never changed:
✅ Making big money relies on "anti-human nature":
- When BTC falls below $93,000 in June, causing panic, can you stick to your trend strategy?
- After SUI suffers a $220 million hacker attack and the community freezes assets, will you sell due to "centralization controversy," or see its ecological resilience?
- If SOL crashes 30% before the ETF launch, will you stop-loss at dawn?
❌ Losing big money due to "chasing illusions":
- Chasing “hundred-fold altcoins” (like DAG, SUI, NEAR) while neglecting position management, a single spike can bring it to zero;
- Faith in the “institutional bull” (Trump's new policies, Bitcoin strategic reserves), but unaware that the correlation coefficient between BTC and the S&P 500 is 0.62; during a macro collapse, the crypto world can fall 3 times worse;
- Addicted to short-term high sell-low buy, ultimately underperforming long-term BTC holders (frequent traders in the slow bull of 2025 earn less than one-third of those who hold coins).
Historical illusions and present realities:
The fantasy of "If I could go back 10 years, I would go all in on Bitcoin" is essentially a misreading of wealth logic—**What you lack is not information, but the understanding and mindset to navigate through cycles.
Today, the market is more mature (ETFs entering, RWA trillion-dollar track, AI proxy economy), but there are still many losers, as most people continue to repeat mistakes: Using old human nature to gamble on new stories
