Beginners chase hot trends in the short term, while experts lay out cyclical narratives: You're riding the waves, they're waiting for the tide.
Beginners are always asking, 'What's the hottest right now?', 'Can XX concept still surge?' Today it's AI, tomorrow it's RWA, the day after it changes to MEME. Their trading rhythm is led by trends, chasing highs, getting trapped, cutting losses, going through cycles of emotions.
But seasoned traders never chase trends; they study narrative cycles in advance. From bear market accumulation, industry capital distribution, policy trends, technical evolution, to developer activity, they assess which track will take off in six months, and then quietly position themselves.
When you see them 'making 10 times profit,' it's actually the result of preparations made six months ago, not a spur-of-the-moment impulse.
Every time you chase a trend, you're actually going after the 'harvesting site' they've already set up.
Beginners trade on trends, while experts bet on cycles.
Trends are for playing with emotions, cycles are for earning from strategies.
When you stop asking 'What to buy today?' and start thinking 'What will shift from the margins to the mainstream in the future?', you are truly on the path to advancement.
