"Recently, it has become harder to profit from crypto."
Isn't that what many people are thinking? I believe that the sources of 'alpha' and the fundamental game we have known have changed.
The era of EVM has already come to an end, shifting towards Non-EVM (mainly Solana). The wide-ranging returns that were once available have gradually converged into DeFi-related areas. And now, I think movements are starting to emerge again.
Furthermore, what we should pursue has shifted from just following what's trending on CT to digging deeper or capturing a larger flow. I believe this is leading to polarization.
Personally, I think that people referred to as KOLs are in a good position right now, but this too will likely change soon.
I'm writing this in a very vague manner, but I feel we are at a significant turning point where the game is changing drastically.
