In the past few years, the cryptocurrency market has experienced so much: from Bitcoin halving and new highs to the FTX collapse and LUNA's zero return; from the boom of DeFi, the myth of NFTs, to the current new trends of AI tracks, BTC ecosystem, and RWA (real-world assets) appearing in succession.
Many people ask me, at this point in time, can the cryptocurrency market still be played? Can we still enter? Is there still an opportunity?
As someone who has been in the cryptocurrency market since 2017, I want to share the true state of the cryptocurrency market in 2025 and how you should act.
One, the cryptocurrency market can still be played, but it is no longer the era of 'blindly getting rich'.
Let me give you a conclusion:
The cryptocurrency market is still feasible, but it's not an era where everyone gets rich, rather it's an 'era of differentiation'.
To put it bluntly, the gap between those who can make money and those who can't is getting bigger. The days of blindly buying Shiba, APE, and Dogecoin and seeing several times the return are basically over; now to make money, you need to rely on information asymmetry, strategy, and execution.
Why is that?
Because the market has shifted from being 'retail-led' to 'institutional participation and capital games'. The opponents you face may be full-time on-chain analysts, arbitrage teams, or even AI robots and professional exchange liquidity market makers.
So, if you want to use the 'strategy from the last bull market' to participate in the current market, it's basically hopeless.
Two, the dividends in the cryptocurrency market are still there, but you need to change your mindset
1. Make money through cognitive differences, not by gambling on luck.
In the past, many people made a fortune by 'catching the wind', such as DeFi, NFT, GameFi, and Dogecoin. But now, the trends are shorter, and the speculation rhythm is faster; without research ability, it's easy to be the 'last baton'.
The real opportunity now is:
· Pre-arranging airdrops: for example, potential big projects like LayerZero, EigenLayer, ZKSync;
· Participate in on-chain ecosystem growth: see which new public chains (like Berachain, Monad) have rapidly growing TVL;
· Focus on institutional layout tracks: AI + blockchain, RWA, Bitcoin Layer 2, etc.
2. Learn to analyze data, not just listen to news
For example:
· You can check protocol activity through Dune;
· Use Nansen to track smart money flows;
· Use Arkham, DeBank to view the positions of large on-chain holders;
· You can even find first-hand information just by browsing Twitter.
Using tools is worth more than watching 100 short videos.
Three, how should we play now? Sharing a practical asset allocation model
I suggest that most people should not 'go all in on one coin' right now, but rather do layered allocations based on different goals:
✅ 70% - Long-term value position
BTC / ETH as core assets, suitable for regular investment, avoid frequent trading.
This part is your 'base position', like digital gold, risk-resistant and volatility-resistant.
20% - Hotspot tracking position
You can focus on: AI tracks, Bitcoin Layer 2, modular public chains, stablecoin RWA, Solana ecosystem.
Goal: follow the mainstream trend, avoid chasing highs, and take profits appropriately.
10% - Small position speculation & airdrop arrangement
This part can involve on-chain interactions, mining, beta testing, etc., for example:
· ZKSync task interactions
· EigenLayer staking
· New chain Testnet activities (Manta, Scroll, etc.)
Small positions for high returns, but you must accept the risk of total loss.
Four, whether you can make money actually depends on your mindset
You might think that the cryptocurrency market relies on vision, but what's more critical is: mindset + rhythm control ability.
The consensus among veteran investors has three points:
· Don't profit from the last segment, don't be greedy in the first segment: the key is to eat meat in the middle;
· Volatility is the norm, explosive growth is an exception: real opportunities are 'guarded' rather than 'charged' out;
· Don't let FOMO emotions control you: every time you see someone else getting rich, there may be years of preparation behind it.
Five, there are still opportunities, but the cryptocurrency market has changed a lot already,
The cryptocurrency market is not unplayable anymore; it has transformed from a 'get-rich-quick prairie' to a 'master competition arena'.
If you are still playing today's market with the mindset of 2019 or 2021, you will only suffer more.
But if you're willing to calm down, research, build strategies, and optimize your understanding, the cryptocurrency market still has the most potential return on investment.
Final advice:
· Don't heavily bet, don't easily trust KOLs, don't chase highs and cut lows;
· Learn more about on-chain operations, learn to look at data yourself;
· Most importantly: it's not about chasing hotspots, but managing position control; staying alive is more important than anything.
May you not just 'come in to take a look' in the cryptocurrency market, but rather 'stay alive, make money, and grow stronger'.
