Why is it so hard to make money in the cryptocurrency space now?

The crypto market is like a system. In the beginning, entropy is low, and thus the industry gradually flourishes; slowly, entropy starts to increase, opportunities decrease, and making money becomes difficult.

Until now, entropy has almost maximized, and the chances to make money have nearly disappeared: the new models attract fewer and fewer players, the profit effect is getting worse, and the duration is becoming shorter.

It's like what was said in The Three-Body Problem when the spaceship exploring four-dimensional space talks to the four-dimensional object: the fish that have dried up in the sea are no longer there; the fish that dried up in the sea have come ashore before the sea dried up, heading towards the next dark forest.

Those who made money and gained freedom a few years ago have basically left the crypto space; at least they no longer have to look for opportunities in various ways, but can trade cryptocurrencies and invest comfortably; for those who haven't made money, the opportunities to make money in the future will also become fewer and fewer; those who made money but squandered it, want to find opportunities but are helpless as the trend of the crypto market has passed.

How many people realize that the crypto market has played through all the financial models that humans have accumulated over thousands of years?

Several major market opportunities: issuing coins (printing money), opening exchanges, stablecoins (equivalent to the US dollar and issuing institutions, like the Federal Reserve), lending, staking... Several ways to play: airdrops, invitations...

Conclusion: The crypto market has increased entropy to a heated state, this blue ocean is close to drying up, it is time to come ashore and look for new opportunities. Or in other words, the crypto market is only suitable for a stable income market now, it is no longer suitable for quick riches and everyone getting rich quickly.
