This stable banner was torture from start to finish. I was so happy when I finally made it in the first round, knowing that XPL wouldn't be a repeat, and I was hoping for a 20-30% return. I even considered spending all my resources on the banner to get 10-12%, but in the end, I barely managed a 4% return. Ugh -_-||

Yesterday, after Uniswap released its fee on/off and buyback/burn proposal, Uni started rising from $7.2. When I woke up and saw the news, it was around $8.8. I eventually bought in batches at an average price of $9. I chose to buy at a higher price because I felt the proposal was indeed a substantial positive, and Uniswap is the pioneer of DEXs with strong fundamentals. Also, a similar proposal previously boosted Uni from $7 to around $16, so my profit-taking plan was to sell in batches starting at $12. However, it only touched $10 three times before falling back down. Ultimately, the stock that rose the most due to this news was Meteora. A comparison of the data revealed that Meteora's fees are 70-80% of Uniswap's, but $Met's market capitalization is only 3-4% of $Uni's. Although Meteora hasn't announced any buyback/burn plans yet, it can still be seen as a potential positive factor. Therefore, in the current market, those who can make money are either top-tier traders who act decisively, take profits resolutely, and have no illusions, or top-tier intelligent traders who can think several levels deeper than most smart people. Since clearing my long positions on October 13th, I've consciously controlled the number of trades I make. The few trades I've made were all opportunities I considered very good, such as chasing GGG in the first wave, bottom-fishing Ping, and chasing Uni yesterday, etc., but in the end, they all went from unrealized profits to losses. Perhaps only now are the consequences of the flash crash on October 11th slowly becoming apparent. A large number of long positions were liquidated, hot money has decreased significantly, and coupled with what Longwang said, almost everyone left with cash in the market is a smart person, making it much more difficult.

The biggest blockchain scam of 2025: If A fails, B shouldn't even think about doing it. In the end, either B genuinely never intended to do it, or B is doing perfectly well, unrelated to A's situation. Those who ultimately suffer are the ones who believed this and got trapped by A.

In my experience, every time the market shifts from a simple trend to a more complex one, there's a surge of bearish sentiment towards crypto. I think that rather than being overly pessimistic, it's more important to recognize the cyclical nature of the crypto market as early as possible. To be honest, the period from Mila's token launch in February to June was far more stagnant than recently. If you feel hopeless about crypto now, you were probably even more hopeless then. However, opportunities still emerged, such as DAT leading the ETH rally, XPL investment doubling your principal, BSC succeeding SOL as the main platform for Meme, and other hot topics like X402 and ICM. From major events like the BTC halving every four years to minor localized market movements driven by various narratives, no coin will rise indefinitely, and no cycle will remain in an upward phase forever. Most people don't have the ability to influence these cycles. Recognizing this means understanding that adapting to the cycle is the optimal solution. When liquidity is plentiful, focus your energy on seizing opportunities; when the market feels difficult, take profits and manage risk. There's no need to be prone to extreme emotions. Hold onto hope where no one cares, remain calm amidst the clamor of the crowd. "Life is like the waves, sometimes high, sometimes low. Do you tell yourself to be strong and get through all the periods?"

Of the three BNB chain memes of this wave, $Binance Life was bought during the first major pullback to 60M. $4 was bought from 220M to 70M, with a continuous loss, pulling down the average price and then taking advantage of the rebound. $Giggle was bought at the frantic market price after the news of its spot listing came out today. None of these three coins were bought at a low price, but using three different trading methods, all have yielded good results. I think this is where my personal trading progress has been the biggest in the past six months. In the past, when I missed out on these big wins, especially when I saw others making huge profits with high multiples, I was more frustrated and regretful, and I would analyze the reasons for my missed opportunity. Now, I use a more calm and composed approach to analyze the potential opportunities of the asset, not focusing on other investors' costs and profits, but solely on whether there is room for further growth after I buy.

Investing isn't about "the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish," but rather "fish where there are fewer people and more fish." When liquidity is clearly retreating, watch and act. A common sentiment is that people either feel they haven't earned enough or haven't earned enough. As the market turns from good to bad, they become increasingly aggressive, resulting in a high probability of drawdowns and losses. Protect your principal, participate more in new stock issuance and wealth management, and patiently wait for opportunities. Victory in both easy and hard mode is still a victory.

Respecting copyright is certainly right, but this isn't really an IP issue. Look at Pnut, which is listed on Robinhood, Coinbase, and Binance. It's not the coin the squirrel owner issued. Look at Chillguy; the original author never gave permission. And look at how much these two coins have fallen. Why aren't they suing the teacher? To put it bluntly, if you're powerful, loud, and in the spotlight, there will be people who will be jealous, disgusted, and smear you. After four years on Twitter, I've seen plenty of shady and twisted people. Now, even with normal coin buying interactions, I'm accused of trading without doing anything. If I do do something, I'm criticized for buying someone else's coin instead of my own. Even with Binance Life, which boasted a few megabytes and escalated to hundreds of megabytes, becoming Binance's first Chinese trading pair, conspiracy theories are rampant. What can I do? If I just post a replay, they'll accuse me of not chewing my rice thoroughly beforehand and then shoving it into their mouths to help them make money. Recognizing species diversity is the first step to self-consistency. Even the mighty like Buffett and Musk cannot command universal approval. Living and doing things with a clear conscience is enough. A still well is like an ancient well; a well-defined well is like autumn bamboo. Life is like a journey, and I am but a traveler.
