In this round of the bull market in Ethereum, the old tricks no longer work.
In the bull markets of '21 and '23, you could close your eyes and hold your tokens; time was the greatest moat. Altcoins soared one after another, tripling or quintupling was commonplace, the market was like a train that wouldn't slow down, and everyone on board was making gains. At that time, it was a test of endurance, not skill.
But this round is different; it seems to bloom everywhere, but it is actually a carefully designed relay of sectors by the market makers. Today, AI is sizzling hot; tomorrow, it might be the public chains that skyrocket. If you're a moment too slow, the main uptrend could be long gone by the time you enter, and you might be pushed back to where you started by a sudden pullback. Even if you make a short-term profit, it's easy to return it to the market. The speed at which the main forces navigate through various sectors is several times faster than before, leaving almost zero reaction time for us retail investors.
So this round, I've changed my strategy. Besides Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB, I no longer hold onto a single altcoin. I no longer hope to win passively until the end of the bull market. Instead, I move flexibly, focusing on waves, taking suitable profits, and waiting for opportunities to re-enter during pullbacks. On the surface, it may seem conservative, but in fact, I am following the market's rhythm. After all, this round of the bull market is not about who is the most patient, but who can survive the longest.
The core thought for this round is summed up in one word: survive.
Surviving allows me to wait for the next take-off, and surviving allows me to continuously accumulate tokens in the process. Ultimately, when it comes to settlement, I may not be the one who earns the most, but I am certainly the one who was not liquidated throughout the entire journey.
