Recently, many people have been discussing the pros and cons of Ethereum. The strong coins in this wave undeniably belong to Ethereum. In a certain sense, it's not impossible for Ethereum to have its glorious moments in the upcoming period, just like Bitcoin did last year. This is not nonsense, but because the underlying logic of Ethereum's rise in this wave is consistent with Bitcoin’s rising logic, which is driven by Wall Street and US stock funds.
In fact, from a long-term development perspective, a strong belief in Ethereum is also based on its positioning as a supercomputer. With the development of on-chain finance and its integration into ordinary social and business activities, there is no doubt that the value of Ethereum will grow exponentially. However, at present, the development of this path is still relatively slow, especially after DeFi, as on-chain interaction data declines daily. Therefore, over the past year, Ethereum has been heavily criticized.
However, Ethereum's position as the second in the crypto space means that its investment attributes are not limited to just that. This rise, I believe, is the spillover of Bitcoin funds + the recognition of Ethereum's investment value by the market. The direct funds for the surge come from recently strategic companies and capital that have been gradually allocating Ethereum; this wind has just started blowing. This is also the best time for investors who previously had no confidence in Ethereum to change their positions.
As for the price of Ethereum, it quickly reached 3,800 points. Although it’s not the first time experiencing such a crazy surge, being in it still feels quite fast. For Ethereum, it will face some resistance levels next, one at 4,100 and the historical high at 4,800. Of course, the immediate goal is to stay above 4,000. Considering the recent surge, it may pull back a bit in the 3,700-3,800 range, but the overall trend has become optimistic.
Before the altcoin season arrives, seize these 3 high-potential altcoins!!!
Cosmos (ATOM)
The advantage of Cosmos is that it helps blockchains communicate with each other. Different networks can now securely share data without governing themselves.
This is achieved through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. This feature makes Cosmos the preferred solution for developers. Many DeFi projects have adopted this framework for faster and more robust development.
Cosmos also emphasizes speed and security. Recent upgrades have made the network more stable and scalable. As more projects join the ecosystem, the demand for ATOM continues to rise.
Many investors believe this is a long-term winner. Anyone seeking growth in the blockchain space should pay attention to ATOM.
Helium (HNT)
Helium brings a whole new perspective to wireless connections. It no longer relies on telecom giants but builds a user-driven network. People install hotspots in their homes, and these hotspots serve as nodes for IoT devices. The network now covers over a million locations worldwide. Whenever a device connects to the network, hotspot owners can earn Helium tokens.
This model provides a strong reason for people to continuously build the network. Helium's low cost and high efficiency make it an ideal choice for smart sensors, GPS trackers, and other IoT tools.
Large companies have begun to apply this network to various applications. This indicates that Helium is truly being adopted. With more partners joining and new use cases emerging, Helium seems ready to soar again.
Solana (SOL)
Solana is proving to the world that it is not just an ordinary blockchain project. The upgrades in the second quarter of 2025 help stabilize its transaction throughput above 65,000 TPS, solidifying its position as one of the fastest blockchains.
The full deployment of the Firedancer validator client will reduce interruptions, allowing Solana to attract more institutional capital. Solana's DeFi ecosystem is also thriving. New decentralized applications like Drift Protocol v3 and Jupiter Lend are driving a surge in its daily trading volume, and Solana's total locked value (TVL) has surpassed $5.3 billion.
The price of the token steadily climbed to $180, showing strong momentum in the bull market.
Why do many people struggle to survive the bear market in the crypto space?
The reason is actually quite realistic and heart-wrenching:
1. Cognition can't keep up, emotions collapse first
The hardest part of the bear market is enduring the emotions of 'not making money' or even 'continuously losing money'. Many people enter the market hoping for overnight wealth, but the reality is: the price crashes, the hype dies down, accounts shrink by 80%, and watching assets slowly evaporate daily severely undermines confidence.
2. Blindly chasing highs, no bullets at low positions
In a bull market, many follow the trend and end up buying at the peak. When the bear market hits, there’s no capital to add positions, no confidence to hold, and they can only cut losses and exit, being washed out. Many people don’t want to give up, but they have already been 'cleared out early'.
3. Long-termism is hard to maintain.
'Long-term optimism' and 'holding for three to five years' sound great in a bull market, but when the bear market comes, with months of no news, no increases, and even no movement, very few can hold on. Human nature resists empty periods, especially financially.
4. Lack of systematic cognition and strategy.
Many people make decisions based solely on 'feelings' and 'short-term positive news', lacking fundamental logical judgments, such as: project fundamentals, macro environment, capital trends, and cyclical rhythms. Without a strategy, it is natural to struggle to withstand the harsh tests of the market.
5. The atmosphere around you has a huge impact.
In the bull market, there are all 'stories of doubling investments'; in the bear market, it turns into 'leaving groups, retreating, blocking'. Loneliness and panic are the main themes of the bear market, and many people silently exit because 'no one is talking'.
Whether you can survive the bear market does not depend on how smart you are, but rather whether you:
Have cash flow to support living;
Have long-term cognition that is not disturbed by emotions;
Have the ability to accumulate quality chips at low positions;
Have the judgment to know what is worth believing and what should be abandoned.
Therefore, those who cannot withstand the bear market are often not the ones who 'missed the opportunity to get rich', but rather those who 'were not prepared'.
The last point, and the most important one: if you want to make big money, you must first learn not to lose money. This is a market that goes against human nature; if you want to take money from others, you must be calm, rational, and patient enough.
To summarize, in the crypto world, making quick money is difficult, making big money is not easy, but making steady money is achievable with methods, as long as you can do it.
1. Only use spare money;
2. Stick to blue chips;
3. Structured investment, strict profit-taking and stop-loss——
Then your asset curve must be upward. It can even be said that there is a 95% probability that you will achieve considerable financial growth.
The market has started, and profits have doubled!
