When we say Bitcoin is valuable, it's mainly because this coin can keep rising, can keep making you money, and can resist censorship, resist violent deprivation, is easy to carry, freely transferable, and grants individuals the inviolable freedom of personal wealth.
Air coins have no value because they won't keep rising, only making most people lose money while a few make money.
I thought everyone who plays with coins knows this. But in fact, most people don't.
Why do most people keep losing money in the crypto world? Many people look for all sorts of reasons.
They may think that others making money is due to their ability, while their own losses have various reasons, such as: I don't know how to sell, the selling position isn't good enough, I don't know how to buy, I bought at too high a price. I lack informational advantage; I should have bought earlier. I don't have enough money. My execution is too poor; I should have made more moves. I shouldn't trade contracts; I should have known to use this method if I traded contracts.
But this is not the real reason for losing money.
Losing money mainly comes from not understanding what is valuable and what is not. What strategies to adopt for valuable things, and what strategies for worthless things.
In summary, it's because their values don't align with the rules of the crypto world, which leads them to fail to judge whether something is valuable to them.
Caring about things that shouldn’t matter and being indifferent to things that should.
In the crypto world, I believe valuable things are those that can be sustained and replicated. And the prerequisite for replicability is that the thing must be simple enough.
For example, hoarding coins, only buying and not selling, buying in a bear market, selling in a bull market, this is something everyone can do and replicate, and this itself is valuable.
However, high selling and low buying, swing trading, speculation on hot topics, chasing concepts, these things are too difficult. High difficulty means that only a very few people can do it, it's not replicable, and its value is very low. It can only create wealth for a very small number of people, not for everyone.
If you keep pursuing low-value things, you are destined to gain nothing.
I saw a picture online that was very meaningful. Some people are fishing in a place where there are few fish with a fishing rod, while others throw a piece of bread in a place where there are plenty of fish, and a net catches them all. Some people stand by a river where fish are jumping around, waiting for fish to jump into their cup. This dynamic image is very vivid.
Natural laws also imply that effort and obtaining value seem to have no relationship. Choosing the right direction is the most important.
Speaking of airdrop harvesting, I think this is of immense value for newcomers to accumulate wealth because it's simple and replicable.
However, many people are concerned about things like not being able to catch, or wasting gas fees, and they insist on caring about things that shouldn’t matter. This concern itself holds no value.
I consider myself to be of below-average aptitude, and I can't handle overly complex tasks. In the crypto world, I can only hoard coins, use various simple knowledge to arbitrage, participate in activities, and make money off-market to accumulate wealth. Those who are very capable might earn a lot of money immediately, while I might be slower and have less money than them. But I understand this: if there is a person who is very capable and smart, earning 500 million while you earn only 50 million through hoarding coins, the significance of this is essentially the same. It won't change your life much. Because the money earned from arbitrage and hoarding coins is the money from industry development. As long as the industry continues to develop, you can benefit from the industry's dividends, and that's enough. This is what we seek—replicable and valuable things.
Many newcomers lack the ability to judge the value of the crypto world. They jump in and buy, which makes it very easy to lose money. After losing, they become desperate and leave this very profitable circle. I think the most valuable thing for newcomers is not to teach them methods, the focus isn't on what knowledge to learn first or how much money to earn, but to find a consistently profitable role model, observe them up close, and then figure out why they can make money, whether their method is simple and replicable. If it is, then this person might have immense value to you, and you should strive to get close to them and exchange value. This is the most valuable thing for newcomers.
Recently, I've heard many people talking about options, which sound very fancy, but for ordinary people like us, these derivatives have no significance.
Let me give you the simplest example. You bought a call option to sell Bitcoin at 200,000 USD. Right now, you are certainly satisfied. You must have imagined how great it would be if Bitcoin could sell at 200,000 USD. You just underestimated the value of Bitcoin, and you don't know how to calculate. If Bitcoin doesn't reach 200,000, your option cost is only a mere 6,000 USD. Compared to the current value of Bitcoin, that's only a 10% return. This 10% return, I can arbitrage and earn 2-7% in a day. You want it to be over a year? Isn't that foolish? This obviously shows a lack of value comparison. If Bitcoin reaches 200,000, and suddenly jumps to 230,000-300,000, you sold at 200,000, and you still lose. No matter how you look at it, this is a huge loss. But many people are very enthusiastic about doing this. This is a lack of basic value judgment.
To determine whether something is valuable to you is very simple. Look at whether it is simple enough, whether you can use it, and whether it can make you money. If it is both simple and profitable, then it is valuable to you.
Whether a person is valuable to you is also very simple: they do not bring you losses, have not caused you any trouble, and only make you money. They are very valuable to you.
