Event replay: A casual remark from a big shot, and the market overinterprets it.
On July 20, Binance co-founder CZ posted on X platform: "The crypto market is volatile", a short statement triggered speculation across the internet. The reason is simple: On January 19 of this year, he had posted similar content, leading to severe market fluctuations, and this second post caused retail investors to collectively experience 'PTSD' (post-traumatic stress disorder).
In the face of heated discussion, CZ quickly clarified: 'I just tweet casually, everyone doesn’t need to overanalyze', but veteran investors in the crypto space understand—big shots' 'casual' remarks often hide signals!
Data contradicts: 6 calls led to 5 rises, is the reverse indicator a clear signal?
When the market is in panic, the data reveals the contrary truth:
Historical statistics show: After CZ mentioned 'market volatility' 6 times in the past, ETH rose against the trend 5 times, making it a 'god-level bullish signal'.
Classic case: After the post in January this year, ETH skyrocketed 22% within a week, wiping out 320 million USD in short positions.
Airs' sharp review:
Big shots' statements have been overly interpreted, which has become a characteristic of the crypto space! Retail investors follow blindly, only to be used as 'reverse harvesting machines' by institutions—when you panic, institutions buy the dip; when you chase the rally, institutions sell off. Emotional games are the source of huge profits!
CZ's heartfelt words: Volatility is not a risk, but an opportunity!
Although his response was understated, CZ's true opinion has long been clear:
The essence of volatility: In January this year, he clearly explained: 'This volatility can be both a risk and an opportunity, the key lies in how to respond.'
Long-termism belief: CZ repeatedly emphasizes 'not participating in meme coin and white paper NFT speculation', focusing on blockchain infrastructure, believing that short-term speculation harms the industry;
Regulatory optimists: After being released from prison, he publicly stated: 'Regulation is generally moving in a positive direction', and compliance will attract traditional huge capital to enter the market.
A bloody warning: The three sins of retail investors under liquidation waves.
On the same day CZ tweeted, over 75,000 people across the internet faced liquidation, evaporating 587 million USD! Summarizing the fatal wounds of retail investors based on this tragedy:
Blindly trusting big shots: treating statements from CZ, Sun Yuchen, and others as operation manuals, while ignoring the flow of funds (such as Sun’s recent transfer of 500 million ETH to Binance causing speculation about selling pressure);
Leverage is a gamble: Contract players claiming 'infinite bullets' still face liquidation, confirming the iron rule that 'contracts are the graveyard for gamblers';
Greedy fish tail market: The collapse of Luna, the explosion of FTX, and other black swan events specifically target greedy individuals, turning paper profits into illusions overnight.
Airs' survival rule: How retail investors can win by leveraging volatility?
Remember three tricks to avoid getting scammed.
Desensitize information, look at money not mouths.
Listen to half of what the big shots say, real money is the hard signal!
Focus on on-chain whales: Exchange ETH reserves drop to a 5-year low = institutions are accumulating;
Follow policy dividends: Hong Kong's 'invitation system' for stablecoins on August 1, pre-emptively ambush compliant targets (OSL, COIN).
Spot is king, avoid leverage.
CZ has made it clear to 'focus on long-term construction', so why should retail investors gamble with their lives?
Take profits in batches once you exceed 30%, and refuse to entertain 'doubling fantasies';
When breaking through support levels (like BTC at 110,000, ETH at 3,650), decisively add to your positions, as institutional cost lines provide support.
Only bet on 'three types of assets'.
Choose coins according to CZ's standards:
There is real demand: BTC (ETF support), ETH (DeFi necessity);
There is regulatory endorsement: USDC, DAI (100% reserve audits);
There is infrastructure value: BNB (ecological empowerment), $MKR (RWA leader).
Ultimate prediction: With CZ stepping back, where is the industry headed?
Personal transformation: CZ shifts focus to educational projects like Giggle Academy (non-profit) and investments in blockchain/AI, completely bidding farewell to exchange management;
Industry trends:
The meme coin bubble will burst (CZ bluntly stated that 'the community's mentality is unhealthy');
RWA (tokenization of real-world assets) takes over the hype, with BlackRock's $BUIDL fund attracting 260 million USD weekly as clear evidence;
Compliance = the engine for the next bull market, with the U.S. (Genius Bill) and Hong Kong's licensing system igniting incremental funds.
Conclusion: Volatility never disappears, and smart people never panic.
CZ articulates the truth of the crypto world in two sentences: 'Market volatility is normal, over-researching is pathological'.
Retail investors who want to survive until the end should remember:
Big shots speak as jokes, on-chain data as the Bible, holding coins as faith, and black swans as opportunities!
