Today in Space, @SEFATUBA3 the dog driver also mentioned similar thoughts. The discussion was about holding #ETH and missing out on the Meme market. I would like to take this opportunity to share my views. Firstly, arrogance and prejudice are definitely wrong, and that is beyond doubt. Any new market, even if you don't like it, should be understood; you might discover something new.
However, putting aside arrogance and prejudice does not mean you should invest wholeheartedly. I will use my own experience as an example. During this wave of the Meme market, I invested about 50 #SOL in total and have already exchanged back about 30 SOL. Currently, I have not exited about 10 SOL in projects, resulting in a paper loss of 10 SOL.
Moreover, this is with some "insider" knowledge. Of course, I cannot represent all investors, and the concept I want to express is that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and their own "comfort zone." Just like in school, except for a few geniuses, most people have subjects they excel in and those they do not. There is always a teacher who teaches us the barrel theory: "The amount of water a barrel can hold is not determined by the longest plank, but by the shortest one."
I believed in this for over a decade, and the result was a mess in my studies. Clearly, I had my strengths and interests, but I couldn't spend too much time on them; I needed to spend more time on my weaknesses. Yes, this is correct for the college entrance examination, but for life, in my personal opinion, this is utterly absurd. A person's lifetime is very limited, and being able to excel in what you are interested in is already quite good. 90% of people are normal, whether in intelligence or physical fitness, and trying to catch up with the 10% who are not normal through comprehensive development is incredibly difficult.
So my education for the chipmunk is to do what you are interested in and excel at it. You don't have to delve deeply into what you are not interested in, but you must understand it. I know this may seem irresponsible, and it will definitely lead to chaos in a structured examination system. I had a classmate in middle school whose drawing talent was incredible; he could reconstruct a comic after just a glance and completely create his own designs and movements. What is he doing now? He is working in an oil field. He has seen the big door, repaired roads, done business, and even carried bricks, but he hasn't picked up a paintbrush since the third year of middle school because he didn't even pass the vocational school entrance exam.
What I want to say is not about the education system, but that trading coins or investing is the same. If you can do well in your comfort zone, it is appropriate to expand into new areas, but it does not mean that this new area must be profitable. This area may not be your comfort zone and may even contradict your investment philosophy. If you feel dizzy and confused after entering this area, then decisively exit.
Today I saw a tweet by @BroLeonAus, which mentioned that there are so many Michelin restaurants worldwide, but you may not love them all. You can try them because they are Michelin, but that does not mean you have to force yourself to love them just because they are Michelin. The same principle applies to investing.
I saw a bunch of friends getting rich in the Meme market, like @cryptocishanjia and @0x0xFeng.
I also noticed some low-key top-tier big shots in the coin-grabbing circle, like @KuiGas and @Ice_Frog666666.
And there are others in different fields with good returns, like @jason_chen998 and @BTW0205.
There’s @CryptoErgou who has rolled the whole case service to the ceiling.
@FC_0X0 who made money in the primary market overseas.
Two big teachers in the community who have played to the ceiling, @0xVeryBigOrange and @Dahuzi_eth.
These friends all have their own areas of expertise; it doesn't mean that just because something is new, you have to rush into it. If you haven't made money in this track, it's not right to blame the heavens and the people.
I also want to make money; I also want one SOL to multiply by 10,000. I have tried, but unfortunately, I have neither the luck nor the ability, and I haven't spent too much time researching because I am not a genius. I would rather spend more time writing, but does that mean I don't make money?
I don't know how many friends remember when I started talking to everyone about $MSTR. It was in December 2021, and throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024, I have been recommending buying MSTR, especially after the news in 2023 about BlackRock applying for a #BTC spot ETF. I have repeatedly said that MSTR and $COIN are the best barometers. I checked, and my first public recommendation to buy MSTR should be in June 2022.
I am just giving an example; this is my comfort zone. I still prefer to buy #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and #BNB, so much of my trading revolves around these. The types I buy and research are also related to these three. Of course, my vision has broadened now, and my comfort zone has included more varieties, and the scope of my research is also increasing, but all this research is what I enjoy and can bring me some returns.
So do you think I envy those who make money in Meme, inscriptions, coin-grabbing, asset management, and investments? I do envy them, but does their making money make me uncomfortable? Not at all, because that is beyond my capability. Don't dwell on things you currently don't have the ability to do. If you are not good at PVP, you might try coin-grabbing. If you find coin-grabbing unbearable, you can research ecosystems. If all else fails, you can still make money in the long cycle like I do.
One segment of today's Space was asking if we have made enough money this year. Many guests expressed that although it has been good, it could have been better because they missed out on tracks 1, 2, and 3. When it was my turn to answer, I calmly said that I have already achieved my goal this year. Perhaps I earned less than a fraction of what these guests earned, but that is my ability. I try not to miss every penny I can earn within my capability, and I am also trying to earn money outside my capability through "luck." For the former, I will reflect if I haven't earned my money; for the latter, I will just laugh it off.
Arrogance and prejudice are wrong, and this can also apply to every friend. Thinking of oneself as the chosen one is also a form of arrogance and prejudice.
I wish everyone in the new year has their own strengths and gains, and I also wish all friends can happily and healthily earn every penny.
