Coins World Report:
In the face of the overall trend, individuals are always insignificant. Warren Buffett became the “Stock God” because he was born in the United States and invested in American stocks; the rise of China’s affluent class rode on the winds of China’s reform and opening up over the past 40 years. Some people have gained returns several times or even higher by investing in altcoins/MEME coins, thanks to the surge in Bitcoin driving market sentiment and bringing in incremental funds.
However, if the entire market is in a downturn, individual efforts will be futile. In investment markets, the concept of “garbage time” becomes particularly vivid. Taking Bitcoin as an example, the majority of its gains are concentrated in a few months each year, with those increases further concentrated in just a few days within those months.
Most of Bitcoin’s annual gains occur within 10 days each year. Excluding the top-performing 10 days of the year, Bitcoin actually yields negative returns. All the waiting is for those crucial ten days. How should individuals cope with the “garbage time” in the investment market?
In this regard, A-share investors may have some experience. The first method is to lie down. If resistance is futile, then relax and enjoy. Change yourself if you can’t change the reality. As a saying amongst coin circle friends goes, go out and enjoy life, free yourself from being enslaved by candlestick charts, go outdoors, date beautiful ladies and handsome men, and socialize with friends.
During these times, stay away from frequent trading, invest in core assets like Bitcoin through regular purchases, and continue financial management by holding assets like USDT. It is a joy in life. The second method is to switch. In markets outside of “garbage time,” seek out new opportunities. The same goes for investments. When A-share markets are in a slump, many A-share investors turn to the US stock and crypto markets.
In 2024, with the crypto market also in a slump, investors are shifting their attention and liquidity to the US stock market. This is not speculation but a real scenario; this year, the US stock market absorbed a significant amount of liquidity from the crypto market, leading to substantial gains for many crypto billionaires with assets in the tens of billions, reflecting another reality: the overall wealth effect in the coin circle this year is far below that of the US stock market.
The third method is to go all-in. When the size of the cake does not increase, and you want more of it, you must take others’ shares, which is going all-in. The crypto market’s intense strategies typically involve on-chain PVP and hair-raising tactics.
For small retail investors, there are greater opportunities on the chain. After all, in a centralized exchange, your counterparty could be a market maker, an exchange, or a project team, but on a chain with a relatively clear chip structure, everyone may become a key player through early participation, then exit based on manipulating group members for liquidity.
However, as on-chain strategies become more intense, the lifecycle of each “shiba inu” becomes shorter, from a week to a day, or even an hour. This leads to a more ruthless battle, not to mention various MEV bots and professional rug issuing teams on the chain.
Friends are online shipping orders; if you’re up for the challenge, come along. History has garbage time, but individuals do not. Perhaps we have missed the best time to invest in Bitcoin. In the unchangeable present, it may still be an affordable and most cost-effective choice.
What does the future hold?
We are currently on the eve of the Fed rate cut. Wait for the resolution of the “mentougou incident”
In 2025, global macro policies will be heavily loosened, ushering in a new bull market.
As long as you don’t get liquidated by contracts, the rise may only take a couple of weeks.
Be patient and endure, the road ahead will be smooth.
Don’t be too optimistic or too pessimistic right now:
When it’s time to hold onto your assets patiently, start buying in batches when there is a drop of more than 10%.
Don’t sell at the bottom, hold on a little longer, and you will see a turnaround.
For example, news about how many BTC are left unclaimed in the Mentougou incident.
For example, the Fed’s interest rate cut in September.
For example, positive news for a coin you purchased.
The day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but don’t collapse today, don’t sell out at the bottom.
If you have money, wait for significant drops and buy in batches, if not, stay put and wait for positive news.
