From the new highs of Bitcoin to the FTX collapse, from the DeFi frenzy to the cooling of NFTs, the turbulence in the cryptocurrency world in recent years is well understood by old investors. Recently, many have been asking: 'Can I still enter the market in 2025? Is there still an opportunity?' As a 'survivor' who started in 2017, I will only share the most practical truths today.
1. The cryptocurrency market hasn't cooled down, but the 'easy money' era is completely over.
The conclusion is clear: it can be played, but it is no longer an era where everyone becomes rich.
In the past, blindly buying Shiba and Dogecoin could double your investment, but now that's unthinkable. The market has shifted from 'retail speculation' to 'institutional competition'; your opponents may be on-chain analysts or AI quantitative teams. Entering with old strategies will only lead to being harvested.
2. The dividends are still there; changing your mindset can lead to gains.
Don't panic, opportunities are always there; the key is to make money through knowledge, not by relying on luck.
The logic of getting rich from trends in the last round is outdated; now trends come and go in an instant. Directions worth focusing on in 2025:
- Potential Airdrops: Projects like LayerZero, EigenLayer that have landed, patiently waiting can bring surprises;
- Eco-growth: When the TVL of new public chains like Berachain and Monad rises quietly, that's a signal;
- Institutional tracks: AI + blockchain, RWA, Bitcoin Layer 2, these are the long-term trends.
3. The core of making money is mindset and rhythm.
After 8 years in the cryptocurrency world, I've seen too many people make money through vision but lose everything due to mindset. The survival rule has never been about vision, but about mindset.
Three Iron Rules for Old Investors:
- Don’t be greedy for the extremes: getting the middle part is enough, don’t wait for the last hit;
- Volatility is the norm: patiently 'guarding' quality targets is more reliable than chasing hot spots;
- Don’t be kidnapped by FOMO: Others' wealth comes from years of preparation; following the trend will lead to losses.
Finally: Surviving is the key to making money
The cryptocurrency world has transformed from a 'money-picking prairie' into a 'master competition arena'; old strategies no longer work. To survive, you must calm down, research data, build strategies, and enhance your understanding.
Here are three life-saving suggestions:
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket;
- Don’t trust KOLs; learn to read on-chain data and white papers yourself;
- Remember: staying alive is more important than anything; having capital gives you opportunities.
