Digging deeper, there are actually three insights hidden in this statement: money, opportunity, and rhythm.
What ordinary people see is just that straight line shooting up on the K chart. You think you’re getting on the bus, but by that time, others have already fastened their seatbelts and are ready to get off.
So what ordinary people should do is find an angle, not follow the rhythm.
For example, when the internal market just starts to rise, or at the moment it shoots up, layout and take a chance on high-odds opportunities. This approach is small, but it can help you survive longer. Being able to play long-term means you’ve already beaten half the people.
As for going all in, that’s a false proposition. Every rags-to-riches story you see has hundreds or thousands of liquidation stories behind it. The term survivor bias may seem cliché, but in the crypto world, it’s almost a matter of life and death.
Playing with memes is more about exchanging insights. Small money bets on odds, big money buys certainty.
Memes are a relatively fair stage—relying on perception, rhythm, and grasping emotions, not on background.
Don’t let the anxiety of missing out on overnight wealth lead you astray.
The harshest truth in this market isn’t that you lost money, but that you clearly made money before.
Before cashing out, everything is just numbers; only the moment it transfers to your wallet is real.
So, if you can make some profit, take it; if you can survive, you win.
When the market is good, watch more and act less; when the market is chaotic, just take a break.
You can’t earn all the money, but if your mindset collapses once, it’s truly over.
In the crypto world, there are no eternal gods, only time and review.
Those who can keep starting over in the market are the final winners.
Others can buy 100,000 USDT or 200,000 USDT at 10m or 20m.
But my friend, you don’t have that much USDT in total,
The anxiety and FOMO spread throughout the market ultimately lead to just a few gains for you.
If you really want to turn things around, find the right angle, and invest when the market is just starting to rise; that’s what ordinary people should do. The big players are already wealthy and well-connected.
Writing this may offend some people's interests.
But until you cash out, it’s all just numbers. If life isn’t carefree, it’s not shameful to take some profits for security.
For example, I can only buy a few thousand worth of oil at a few million, or spend tens of millions for something more certain.
For ordinary people, don’t go all in; the winners you see are just survivors' bias.
I write all this based on my past experiences. In this market, I’ve made a little profit, but I know this is the reasonable allocation of funds I can bet.
No matter how many times I start over, I can only earn this much at most.
Meme is where ordinary people use small funds to exchange knowledge and experience for money, while big players going all in are more suited for assets like BTC, BNB, gold, etc.
Still, the interests and alliances in the meme space are no less than those of VCs. Taking profits for security shows true heroism; chasing high prices and FOMO will eventually lead to losses and bankruptcy.
Keep it up! Good morning.
