Having been in the cryptocurrency market for many years, everyone has heard the term 'diamond hand,' which means that investors resolutely hold onto their coins in the face of significant price fluctuations, never selling easily, hoping for prices to soar and make a big profit. In the past, this strategy did indeed allow many to taste the sweet fruit.

But today is different from the past. I must seriously remind everyone that in the 2024 - 2025 cycle, and in every cycle thereafter, apart from Bitcoin (BTC), merely holding onto a certain altcoin with a 'diamond hand' is almost destined to be unprofitable!


In today's cryptocurrency market, it is no longer that small and emerging market from years ago. As of May 22, 2025, 11:34:03, the total capital in the cryptocurrency market has expanded to 3.44 trillion USD. What does this mean?

If you compare this value with the GDP rankings of various countries in 2024, the economic scale of the cryptocurrency market surprisingly ranks 7th in the world, surpassing France, and is just one step away from surpassing the UK. Of course, comparing the total value of the cryptocurrency market with the GDP increments of various countries is not entirely scientific, but it is enough to let everyone intuitively feel the current scale of the cryptocurrency market.

Looking back, in 2022, the total capital in the cryptocurrency market was 1 trillion, 200 billion in 2019, and only 5 billion in 2015. These figures show that the difficulty of growth in the cryptocurrency market is increasing exponentially. It's like going from 1 to 1000 requires an increase of 999; going from 1000 to 1 million requires an increase of 999,000; but going from 1 million to 1 billion requires an increase of 999 million, making growth increasingly difficult.


Back in 2017, during the bull market, having tens of millions in capital might have allowed one to stir up the cryptocurrency market and manipulate the price trends of certain altcoins; in 2021, the Federal Reserve's massive liquidity injection provided strong upward momentum for the cryptocurrency market. But by 2025, who can invest an entire country's annual GDP into the cryptocurrency market to drive prices up? This is clearly unrealistic.

However, this does not mean that the cryptocurrency market has no future. On the contrary, blockchain, with its unique technological characteristics, has shown great potential to disrupt traditional cumbersome systems in many fields. The era led by blockchain technology has just begun, and we will have opportunities to discuss this topic in depth later.


But everyone must recognize a cruel reality: the days when all altcoins could rise together, and one could buy any coin and just wait to make a profit, are long gone and have become history. On one hand, the current innovation in the cryptocurrency market is at a bottleneck, making it difficult to see the frequent emergence of revolutionary projects as in the past; on the other hand, even if the next cycle brings about innovative explosions, due to the rapid expansion of the cryptocurrency market, funds will no longer be evenly distributed to let all coins rise.

In the future, only those projects with real technological strength, unique advantages, and the ability to solve practical problems will have the potential to stand out in the market and welcome a bullish trend; the phenomenon of widespread increases is almost impossible to replicate.


This is a crucial characteristic transition in the development of the cryptocurrency market, which everyone must remember. So, don't hold onto the mindset of 'it's okay to hold onto spot assets, they will eventually rise again' when holding those worthless junk assets. If you are holding a cryptocurrency that lacks actual value support, its fate in the long run is only to go to zero.

If you truly want to invest in the cryptocurrency market, you need to approach it as a professional and serious investor. Carefully study the blockchain market, deeply analyze key factors such as the project's technical strength, team background, and application scenarios, rather than blindly following trends or investing randomly.


The era of wild growth in the cryptocurrency market has come to an end; however, the new world driven by blockchain technology has just begun its glorious chapter.
