The crypto world, this 24-hour nonstop crazy casino—some rely on luck to turn their fortunes, while more lose everything but their underwear; the blockchain revolution and Ponzi schemes are like twins, Wall Street foxes and tender greens squeezed at the same gambling table. The crypto world of 2025 has long been monopolized by big institutions; today, let's peel back this chaotic stew and see what's really going on inside.
One, the survival rules of the crypto world in 2025
The big crocodile eats the small fish
ETF as a cash machine: BlackRock and other giants hold $200 billion in Bitcoin ETFs, a sneeze can shake the market, retail investors can't even get a hot meal 1
Market makers play fast: Jump Trading uses nano-level speed to cut the greens, by the time you see the rise or fall, they've already made their profit and left 3
Insider trading for meals: News spreads in small Discord circles at midnight, by the time we see it on Twitter, the insiders have already become the bag holders 8
Real case: The recently popular Dogecoin, the market makers set up three months in advance, waiting for the greens to rush in, then they dump and collect, like harvesting crops 8
Thirty-six strategies of project parties
VC's fancy harvesting: Institutions buy in at $0.01, then directly lift to $1 when listed, making a hundred-fold profit easily 10
High-interest traps: Fooling you to lock funds for interest, while your money is locked up, they've already run away with the bucket 4
Cross-chain guerrilla warfare: After finishing one chain, move to the next, just like whack-a-mole, you can't catch them 7
A history of blood and tears: A DeFi project claimed to be the number one exchange, but the team drained the liquidity pool at midnight, and the locked-up retail investors couldn't even find their graves 3
Two, guide for greens to send money
Three-piece set for self-destruction
Mindless chasing the rise: Seeing a rocket take off and going all in, only to buy at the peak and eat cold wind
Stubborn as a dead duck: Holding onto a 5% loss until it becomes 50%, ultimately cutting losses to the bone 4
Getting high on leverage: 10x leverage feels great for five minutes, but a liquidation message can give you a heart attack 3
Real data: Exchange statistics show that gamblers using 20x leverage typically don't last more than three days 3
Information asymmetry strikes hard
Big influencers calling shots: You think they're money gods, but they're actually paid actors 6
White paper promises: 90% of the technical roadmap was never intended to be realized, just like promises from a scumbag 8
On-chain blind men: Smart money has long left, while the greens are still dreaming of new highs 3
Cracking the code: Use Nansen to check the project's wallet, if they're transferring funds like crazy, run away quickly 3
Mandatory anti-fraud course
AI voice-changing techniques: Scammers can clone customer service voices, a single call can drain your family's fortune 10
Fake airdrop schemes: Claiming an airdrop only to have your wallet emptied, more frustrating than being robbed 10
Audit sleight of hand: Even if it passes the CertiK audit, hackers can still find loopholes 3
A real tragedy: Someone participated in the Arbitrum second airdrop, and in the time it took to set up a wallet, their entire family fortune was stolen 10
Three, life-saving secrets for 2025
Three axes of investment
Core allocation: 70% Bitcoin and Ethereum, 20% mainstream coins, leaving 10% for gambling coins 3
Zen investing: Buying a little every month when you get paid, regardless of market ups and downs, just treat it like saving money 5
Take profits when you see them: Withdraw your capital first when it doubles, the rest can go wild 4
Veteran insights: To survive in the crypto world, you have to run faster than a rabbit and endure longer than a tortoise 4
Three lives in risk control
Leverage shouldn't exceed five times: Surviving is key to keep playing, once dead, there's nothing left 3
Max loss of 2% per trade: Like playing Mahjong, staying calm is the key to long-term gains 4
Large sums stored in cold wallets: Leaving it on exchanges? Just wait to be the next FTX victim 3
Information filter
Check VC background: Projects backed by a16z and Paradigm can at least last two more days 3
See the on-chain truth: TVL and trading volume won't lie, data is more reliable than the big influencers 3
Stop shouting in the group: If there really was a hundred-fold coin, they'd have already made a fortune quietly, why would it be your turn? 6
Toolbox: Use Nansen to check the movements of big players, TokenUnlocks to see unlock and dump times 3
Four, the floating world of cryptocurrency
Classic character setting
All-in fanatic: All in is a belief, the rooftop is home
Candlestick master: Charts look like artworks, but accounts are losing money like crazy 4
Zen koi: Forgetting the password ends up making the most money, driving the traders crazy
Airdrop beggar: Testing the network until it's bald, gas fees are more expensive than the airdrop 3
Fixed script
"This time is different": Every bull market has a new story, just like the boy who cried wolf 8
"Market manipulation": Clearly got cut, yet still comforting oneself through the storm 8
"Value investing": Holding onto the last fig leaf of a worthless coin 4
The final truth
Recognize reality: Now it's a playground for big institutions, retail investors are just the playthings
Control greed: Don't dream of hundred-fold coins, earning 50% a year is enough to wake up smiling
Learn every day: From coding to psychology, studying harder than in college
Protect your capital: Surviving is key to waiting for the next bull market
Remember: In the crypto world, living longer means you're the real big shot. It's 2025, how do you plan to play this game?
