Just after the news of Bitcoin breaking through the new high of $120,000 went viral, the news of 3,304 people liquidating $35 million followed closely—this is the most realistic portrayal of the cryptocurrency market in 2025: opportunities and traps always shake in the same frame.
There are always people asking, "Is it still possible to enter the market now?" The answer actually lies not in the K-line chart but in your understanding of this market.
First, see clearly the current state of the cryptocurrency market.
The cryptocurrency market today is no longer the wild era where you could double your investment by casually buying altcoins. Bitcoin accounts for over 60%, with institutional funds continuously flowing in through compliant channels. The US (GENIUS Act) has also prompted traditional financial giants to layout in the asset tokenization track.
This change has brought some order to the market, but it has also reduced the bonuses from wild growth—Bitcoin surged significantly in the first half of the year, while most altcoins fell back to their early-year levels. The days of "picking up money with closed eyes" are completely over.
More importantly, the light of regulation has already shone into this field. Those funds claiming "1% daily return" like the collapsed Xin Kang Jia in the first half of the year, no matter how fancy they are packaged, cannot escape the warnings from regulatory authorities.
To still want to rely on luck to "play" in the cryptocurrency market is no different from running a red light at a traffic signal.
These three types of people can consider entering the market.
The "farmer" who invests spare money regularly is most suited to enter the market now. Just like the nurse who insists on buying 500 yuan of Bitcoin every month, regardless of whether the price is 70,000 or 120,000, she always sows according to the rhythm, and now her account has quietly doubled.
Currently, although Bitcoin is at a high level, diversifying investments can dilute risks, especially suitable for long-termists who can accept "no returns for three years."
The "craftsmen" who understand technology still have bonuses here. The explosion of the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem requires a large number of smart contract auditors; the integration of NFTs with the real economy has given rise to a new profession of digital collectible designers.
I know a programmer who earned an extra 200,000 this year by optimizing code for RWA projects—these opportunities are not found in exchanges but in the gaps of technological iteration.
Those who can control their emotions, the "discipline faction," always have opportunities. The current greed index of 71 in the market is already close to the danger threshold; historical data shows that when it exceeds 75, it often leads to a pullback.
But there are always those who can't help but add 20 times leverage to chase the rise, resulting in being forcibly liquidated with just a 5% fluctuation. In contrast, those old players who set "sell half when profits reach 30%" live very steadily in a volatile market.
These misconceptions must be discarded first.
Don't believe the nonsense that "it's too late to enter the market now." The integration of blockchain technology with the real economy has only just begun. Starbucks is using NFTs for its membership system, and the opportunities brought by this penetration are more worthwhile for ordinary people to grasp than simply speculating on coins.
Also, don't think that "with institutions coming in, retail investors have no chance." Institutions are heavily invested in major assets like Bitcoin, while innovative opportunities in niche tracks are always left for keen retail investors.
Finally, I want to say that the cryptocurrency market has never been an amusement park, but an amplifier—it amplifies your cognitive dividends as well as your greed and foolishness. You can enter the market now, but don't hold a "playful" mindset.
Using spare money, learning knowledge, and controlling desires—these nine words are the survival pass in the current cryptocurrency market. After all, those who can make money on Bitcoin at $120,000 are always those who treat it as an asset rather than a gamble.
