【Dream Encounter · 9】I handed my account to Adam Smith: Can the “invisible hand” cure my itchy trigger finger?
Marx had just finished explaining how “the stakes aren’t equal,” and I turned around and jumped into another new coin.
My reason: The group chat said something big was happening tonight.
Last night, I invited Adam Smith to sit down in front of my computer.
(This dream is fictional; the dialogue is not quoted from the original.)
I pushed my account toward him. “Mr. Smith! If I follow the ‘invisible hand,’ will I make money?”
He glanced at my trading history. “I couldn’t see that hand, but yours certainly hasn’t stopped.”
I quickly explained, “The project’s community is united. We all have the same goal!”
“What goal?”
“To make the coin price go up!”
“What does the project team want?”
“Funding and growth. Maybe they’ll sell coins, too.”
“What about the coin-shilling influencers?”
“Traffic and promotional fees.”
“The platform?”
“Transactions and fees.”
“And you?”
“To make money.”
He nodded. “Being in the same market doesn’t mean you’re in the same business.”
I pulled up an analysis. “This one’s really professional. It even says, ‘This does not constitute investment advice’!”
“Does the author hold the coin? Do they get paid to promote it? Did they disclose that?”
“...I don’t know.”
“You haven’t even figured out what business they’re in, and you’re already ready to support it?”
I wasn’t convinced. “Can’t you trust people who want to make money?”
“Of course you can. Selling bread is profitable, too, and the bread can still be real. You need to look at how they make money—and what you get out of it.”
I looked down at the project: the product hadn’t launched, but there were eight promotional events a day; no revenue in sight, yet they’d already made three versions of a ‘financial freedom’ poster.
I stubbornly replied, “But doesn’t the market regulate itself?”
“How did you take that to mean someone would bail out your account?”
...
When I woke up, the group chat was shouting again: “Last chance to get in!”
I was about to jump in, then suddenly remembered:
“First figure out how other people make money, then decide why you’re paying.”
I opened the coin-shilling influencer’s profile. Would you look at that—their “long-term conviction” from yesterday had turned into three different coins today.
The “invisible hand” may not look after my account, but the hand I can’t control sure looks after other people’s businesses.
Next time, Keynes: Why do I freak out in the short term when I’m investing for the long term?
Personal thoughts, not investment advice. DYOR.

【Dream Encounter · 7】I handed my account to Darwin—could he decode BTC’s true, secret DNA?
In previous episodes, I invited Laozi, Socrates, Newton, and Einstein. Einstein made “inertia and trends” crystal clear, but in this foggy market, who can predict where things are headed? Late last night, I brought old man Darwin, author of *On the Origin of Species*, over to my computer.
I pushed my account toward him. “Darwin! The market is so unpredictable. How do you tell which assets are the ‘fittest’ and will survive?!”
Darwin adjusted his reading glasses. Looking at the tokens leaping all over the screen, he pointed to BTC and said slowly, “Everything has an origin. BTC has survived because it is fit—not because of its name, but because of its foundational DNA: ‘decentralization and resistance to being wiped out.’ When it threatens vested interests, no one can simply pull a single plug and take down its network. That’s the foundation of its survival!”
I asked, confused, “What about the other evolutionary branches? Assets heavily controlled by big capital and held in custody on exchanges seem to be doing just fine, too.”
Darwin smiled. “That’s called species diversity! Projects backed by top-tier capital, with assets held in a centralized single point of failure, can be highly explosive and convenient in a calm bull market. But don’t forget: black-swan weather can strike in nature at any time! Just look at recent hacks of centralized platforms, withdrawal suspensions, and even crises where they pull the plug. In that moment, the fate of assets tied to a single point is entirely in someone else’s hands.
“Meanwhile, branches that inherit genes like ‘extreme privacy and censorship resistance’ or ‘self-custody of private keys and decentralized settlement’ may not be the ones pumping hardest in normal times. But when hackers strike or platforms pull the plug, they survive thanks to private keys and public-chain consensus. They have a survival card that means they ‘can’t be destroyed by a single point of failure’!”
“In crypto, true ‘survival of the fittest’ has never meant one gene ruling forever. It’s about whether your portfolio includes the hard-core genes needed to withstand an extreme plug-pulling event!”
When I woke up and checked the charts, I slapped my thigh. Darwin had explained ‘genes and survival strategies’ so clearly—but as soon as I saw the group chat yelling ‘YOLO into those heavily controlled coins,’ I still shoved my principal into those low-quality species that go to zero the moment someone pulls the plug!
Sure enough, Darwin can explain the genes under the hood, but he can’t save my degen brain—the one that’s always looking for a get-rich-quick opportunity in the garbage pile.

【Dream Adventure · Six】I handed my account to Einstein, and he used inertia and conservation of energy to trade coins, leaving me completely dumbfounded?
In the previous episodes, I invited the Buddha, Laozi, a dark-path master, and Socrates, and even Newton got wiped out. Late last night, I made up my mind and brought old man Einstein to the computer.
I pushed the account over and said anxiously: “Einstein! Even Newton got smashed by the market makers! Please help me see how this chart is going to move!”
Einstein adjusted his glasses and wrote on the blackboard the famous conservation of energy formula $E=mc^2$ and the first law of physics: “The essence of trading is, first, energy (capital), and second, the first law (inertia)!”
He pointed at the wave-like candlesticks that had formed and said with a serious expression: “The first law is about ‘inertia’! In the market, ‘inertia’ means trend! Once capital (energy) pushes it up, it will follow inertia and move through Wave A rally, Wave B pullback, and Wave C main rise. As long as there is no strong opposing external force, the trend will keep running forward with inertia!”
“But you ignored conservation of energy! When later capital fails to keep up, the upward inertia will fade. Once bearish external force strikes, downward falling inertia will form instantly (Wave A drop, Wave B rebound, Wave C main decline)! You always stubbornly fight against inertia, and the speed at which your principal is being exhausted has already surpassed the speed of light!”
……
When I woke up and looked at the chart, I slapped my thigh: Einstein had made ‘inertia and trend’ perfectly clear, but the moment I saw the chart jumping violently, I still acted on impulse and went bottom-fishing right when the downward inertia had just begun, and got crushed into dust!
Sure enough, I understand the logic, but my retail-trader genes seem never to have evolved the instinct to ‘follow the trend.’
Since physics can’t save my itchy hands, in the next dream I plan to invite ‘Darwin’ and see whether *The Origin of Species* and ‘survival of the fittest’ can help this retail trader, born with genetic flaws, evolve into a blade that cuts others!

Zcash at $1,300 and Dash at $50: When privacy meets compliance, will they meet the same fate?
Recently, Zcash surged past $1,300, pushing its market cap into the top ten. But looking at the charts, its 24-hour turnover rate is only around 3.68%.
Some see this as a comeback for a veteran crypto heavyweight; others think it’s price manipulation amid low liquidity. There’s no need to rush to judgment on any token, but comparing Zcash with Dash back in the day does raise a few questions worth discussing.
I. How did Dash fall from its former highs?
At its peak in 2017, Dash soared to nearly $1,600, then steadily slid to around $50 today.
There were three main reasons:
Bowing to regulators and pleasing neither side: Dash proactively downplayed its privacy-coin label to embrace compliance. As a result, darknet funds moved to Monero (XMR), while mainstream regulators never truly accepted Dash. When the storm hit, it was still delisted.
“Pseudo-decentralization” and control by an organization: Unlike BTC, where Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared from the scene, Dash has clearly identifiable masternodes and a foundation. The entities behind it can be summoned by subpoena, making its privacy features something it could give up in the real world at any time.
No irreplaceable foundation of essential demand: Without the essential demand of the dark forest, and unable to compete with stablecoins and the Lightning Network in payments, Dash became a fringe token after its holders finished distributing their coins.
II. A mirror-image question: How similar are Zcash and Dash today?
Question 1: Is “BTC code + privacy” really an untapped opportunity? BTC’s core is “leaderless consensus,” whereas Zcash has a clearly identifiable company and foundation behind it. In the face of heavy regulation, can this “optional privacy” remain absolutely censorship-resistant?
Question 2: Do a 3.68% turnover rate and a top-ten market cap reflect demand or price manipulation? Has Zcash’s actual on-chain transaction volume surged? With turnover so low, is a rally to $1,300 a revaluation of zk-SNARKs by institutions, or a “pump and dump” using low liquidity?
Question 3: Where will Zcash ultimately end up? Could Dash’s present-day situation foreshadow Zcash’s endgame? Or can Zcash use its technological edge to break the cycle of being marginalized after moving closer to compliance?
The market cycle isn’t over, and no one has the definitive answer. What do you think Zcash’s current price action reflects?#zcash #dash #monero #bitcoin

【Dream Adventure · 3】I handed my account to Shilock, the dark-side trading master, and he just smashed my hand?!
In the first two episodes, I called on Buddha, and he told me, “Form is emptiness”; then I called on Laozi, and he told me to “hold to the One and contend with no one.” But I still can’t kick my bad habit of making impulsive trades. Late last night, I steeled myself and summoned Shilock, the trading world’s “dark-side master”—a tough guy who believes only in absolute discipline and ruthless risk management.
I handed him my account and pointed at a huge bearish candlestick amid the volatility, pleading: “Master, buy the dip! I got burned after taking a friend’s advice before, and now I’m desperate to make back the money I lost!”
Shilock gave a cold laugh and swept his knife-like gaze over me. “The greatest evil in human nature is ‘wishful thinking’; and an even more poisonous impulse is ‘wanting to break even’! The more desperately you try to claw back what you lost after being scammed and fleeced, the more the market will devour you until not even your bones are left.”
Before I could react, a black swan struck, and the market flash-crashed through support in an instant. I screamed in panic: “Wait! Let’s just hold on a little longer! What if it bounces? Then I could break even, couldn’t I? I can’t accept this!”
Shilock didn’t even blink. He raised his hand and slammed in a hard stop-loss, liquidating everything.
My heart bled. “Master! That one cut just cost me another half-month’s wages!”
Shilock grabbed my hand, his voice icy: “Cut off your arm to save your life. What you’re cutting off is your obsession; what you’re saving is your life! If you trade with the mindset that you absolutely must break even, every trade is you paying the market ransom. People who don’t even dare to hit stop-loss are fit only to be fertilizer for the market’s bagholders!”
Then he set an unbreakable rule in my trading app: if any single trade loses more than 2%, all positions are forcibly closed and trading is locked.
……
I woke up and looked at my account after those strict stop-losses, then slapped my thigh. “Harsh, sure—and I understand the reasoning perfectly. But the second I see a long wick bounce on the chart, I’m still thinking, damn, if only I’d held on, I could’ve broken even!”
Turns out the righteous school can’t stop me from impulsively trading, and the dark side can’t cure my wishful thinking and obsession.
In the next dream, I’m thinking of inviting Socrates to see if his probing questions can cure my brain-dead habit of chasing highs.
These are personal thoughts and do not constitute investment advice. DYOR.

In the first two episodes, I called on Buddha, and he told me, “Form is emptiness”; then I called on Laozi, and he told me to “hold to the One and contend with no one.” But I still can’t kick my bad habit of making impulsive trades. Late last night, I steeled myself and summoned Shilock, the trading world’s “dark-side master”—a tough guy who believes only in absolute discipline and ruthless risk management.
I handed him my account and pointed at a huge bearish candlestick amid the volatility, pleading: “Master, buy the dip! I got burned after taking a friend’s advice before, and now I’m desperate to make back the money I lost!”
Shilock gave a cold laugh and swept his knife-like gaze over me. “The greatest evil in human nature is ‘wishful thinking’; and an even more poisonous impulse is ‘wanting to break even’! The more desperately you try to claw back what you lost after being scammed and fleeced, the more the market will devour you until not even your bones are left.”
Before I could react, a black swan struck, and the market flash-crashed through support in an instant. I screamed in panic: “Wait! Let’s just hold on a little longer! What if it bounces? Then I could break even, couldn’t I? I can’t accept this!”
Shilock didn’t even blink. He raised his hand and slammed in a hard stop-loss, liquidating everything.
My heart bled. “Master! That one cut just cost me another half-month’s wages!”
Shilock grabbed my hand, his voice icy: “Cut off your arm to save your life. What you’re cutting off is your obsession; what you’re saving is your life! If you trade with the mindset that you absolutely must break even, every trade is you paying the market ransom. People who don’t even dare to hit stop-loss are fit only to be fertilizer for the market’s bagholders!”
Then he set an unbreakable rule in my trading app: if any single trade loses more than 2%, all positions are forcibly closed and trading is locked.
……
I woke up and looked at my account after those strict stop-losses, then slapped my thigh. “Harsh, sure—and I understand the reasoning perfectly. But the second I see a long wick bounce on the chart, I’m still thinking, damn, if only I’d held on, I could’ve broken even!”
Turns out the righteous school can’t stop me from impulsively trading, and the dark side can’t cure my wishful thinking and obsession.
In the next dream, I’m thinking of inviting Socrates to see if his probing questions can cure my brain-dead habit of chasing highs.
These are personal thoughts and do not constitute investment advice. DYOR.

【A Dream Encounter】I handed my account to Buddha to trade crypto, and he completely short-circuited me
After spending so long in crypto, staring at candlestick charts every day like a clueless retail trader, I’ve had my intelligence trampled on from every direction. Last night, thinking about all my losses, I was truly out of ideas. I figured every earthly method had failed, so I decided to bring out the big guns: I invited the Buddha himself to the trading desk, slid my account username and password over to him, and said, “Buddha, I just can’t make sense of this market anymore. Out of your boundless compassion, could you trade some crypto for me?”
I thought I was about to witness a miracle. But as soon as Buddha sat down and the market opened, his moves left me completely baffled:
BTC had just printed a huge green candle, and everyone online was yelling, “Buy now!” I cried, “Buddha, don’t chase the top! You know, form is emptiness!” Without even turning his head, Buddha replied, “Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. A rise is just an appearance; a fall is just an appearance. You go where the water flows—what’s this about chasing the top?”
Not long after, a black swan hit the market, and prices plunged 30%. I was panicking: “Cut the loss, now!” Buddha sat cross-legged and hadn’t even set a stop-loss. “You’re afraid because you’re attached to ‘my principal.’ Let go of the idea of this ‘me,’ and rises and falls are just the tides coming in and going out. What’s it to you?”
The best part came later. The market bottomed out and rebounded to new highs. While everyone else was going wild, Buddha calmly tapped “Close All” and handed my account back to me. “Neither side is established, and the middle way is nowhere to be found. I seek no profit and fear no loss. All those red and green numbers on the screen are merely things coming together and falling apart according to causes and conditions.”
…
I woke up and looked at the candlestick chart in front of me, then slapped my thigh. I understood all the wisdom—but the moment I opened my account and saw the green turn red, I still wanted to cut my losses immediately.
Turns out, I understand everything in theory, but the moment I put it into practice, I’m hopeless.
(One last serious note: Since Buddha has completely wrecked my trading mindset, next time I’m planning to invite “Laozi” to the trading desk and see if “following the natural way” can help with my losses. Want to see how Laozi trades crypto? Give me a follow, and I’ll see you next time!)

After following Russia-Ukraine news for years, I finally understood a truth about crypto
After scrolling through Russia-Ukraine news for years, I noticed something pretty interesting: online opinion is always locked in a battle between two extremes.
One moment it’s “a great power will crush them—they don’t stand a chance”; the next it’s “advanced weapons are here, victory is just around the corner.”
Years of fighting later, the drama has been intense, but reality is still deadlocked. Both sides sound completely convincing, yet ordinary people like us can’t find the real “facts.”
Then I thought about it: isn’t this just everyday life in crypto?
The slightest rise and all the big names online are shouting, “The bull market’s back—get in quick! This time is different!” The slightest drop and the whole screen is filled with, “It’s going to zero—cut your losses and run!”
The media wants traffic, KOLs want followers, and project teams want a narrative. Put simply, extreme emotions grab attention most easily, while nobody wants to read the boring facts.
When you’re immersed every day in this kind of manufactured public opinion, how can your trades not go wrong?
It took me a long time in this industry to understand:
Don’t think you can see the whole picture: never take someone else’s hot air as a reason to buy.
Don’t outsource your emotions: no matter how enthusiastically others are shouting, keep your hands in check; no matter how despairingly they’re shouting, take a clear look at your position.
Leave yourself a way out: the truth is often somewhere between the two extremes. Can your position hold out until the fog clears?
Rather than looking for facts in the news, look for a sense of security in your own position.
Have you ever ended up paying the price after believing some “mainstream narrative”?
Just my personal thoughts—not investment advice.

The Serbian election reminded me: the most expensive answer in crypto is often “that’s what everyone says”
I came across the results of Serbia’s election today:
Vučić conceded defeat, and the opposition backed by students was leading in the preliminary results. dw+1
Before that, though, many of the videos, analyses, and discussions I’d seen seemed to take for granted that he would win again and that the ruling coalition would continue smoothly.
For a while, I didn’t think much about it either—I just accepted the “mainstream view.”
Only after the results came in did I realize:
What I thought was consensus might just have been the appearance of consensus, created by constant repetition. The real underlying sentiment may never have been heard.
It got me thinking about crypto.
Every day, we’re surrounded by a flood of information:
The opinions of big influencers, community slogans, KOL narratives, trending topics, and one-sided emotions in the comments.
When the same voice is constantly repeated, recommended, shared, and amplified,
it can easily create the illusion that “everyone thinks this way.”
So when a coin keeps getting mentioned, we assume it must be more reliable;
when a narrative is repeatedly reinforced, we assume it’s bound to come true;
when a price is discussed enough, we assume it already reflects all the risks.
But the voices we hear aren’t necessarily all the voices there are;
and a repeatedly echoed opinion doesn’t automatically become fact.
Sometimes real consensus lies beyond the trending topics, beneath the comments, and in places the algorithm never puts in front of you.
The real question isn’t “What does everyone think?”
It’s this:
If this amplified judgment is wrong, can my position, leverage, and mindset withstand it?
What this Serbian election reminded me wasn’t who won or lost,
but a simple trading principle:
**Information can be repeated, emotions can be amplified,
but judgment can’t be outsourced.**
In crypto, the most expensive answer
is often the one that “everyone says.”
Have you ever paid a price for believing the mainstream narrative?

Does anyone else feel this way?
When the market is quiet, you hope for an opportunity;
when it finally moves, you worry you won’t be able to handle it;
and when you actually lose money, you start wondering if you’re just not cut out for this market.
Recently, I wrote a video script about “life in the absurd,” inspired by Camus’ *The Myth of Sisyphus*.
Again and again, Sisyphus pushes a boulder to the top of the mountain, only for it to roll back down.
It seems utterly meaningless, but Camus says: “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
Because true freedom isn’t waiting for the world to give you a definite answer before you start living;
it’s choosing to be yourself even after you’ve seen that life promises no meaning.
The market, too, is an absurdity.
We always think the market is about finding the one definite answer.
Only later do we realize that the real predicament is often our desperate desire to grasp a promise of endless upward growth amid all the volatility.
We want to know whether we can get out before the next crash;
whether value investing is guaranteed to pay off;
whether the script for our financial future has already been written.
But the market often stays silent.
It gives no answers and makes no promises.
So some despair, some grow numb,
and some hand their whole lives over to someone else’s definitive answers.
But others choose a different path.
Knowing the boulder will roll back down, they still review their decisions and build their positions, one step at a time;
knowing there are no eternal guarantees, they still observe, experience, and keep records with care.
This isn’t surrender. It’s resistance.
Not pretending that risk doesn’t exist,
but refusing to let the market’s ups and downs define who I am.
Trading has never been a way to escape the absurd.
Trading means seeing its madness clearly,
and still choosing to face yourself with clarity.
The group chat will go quiet again,
and the alarms will sound again.
But in that moment, the candlesticks are moving.
You shut out the noise, lift your head, and keep going.
**The market remains absurd,
but the absurdity is no longer just the market.**
Have you ever had one of those moments:
knowing the market can’t be predicted, yet still being unable to resist opening the charts?
In that moment, are you looking for an opportunity, or for a sense of certainty?
These are personal reflections and do not constitute investment advice.
Follow me, and let’s learn and grow together.

Why is it that money we make through luck always ends up getting given back through sheer skill, skill, skill, skill, skill?
I once came across an especially sobering idea.
Jim Rohn said that if one day you suddenly got lucky and came into a million dollars, you’d better quickly become the kind of person who can handle that million. Otherwise, the money will soon find its way out of your hands, one way or another.
I used to think it was just an inspirational quote, but the longer I’ve been in the market, the more I’ve come to see it as an ironclad rule.
Whether it’s the Western idea of “monetizing your knowledge” or the wisdom of our ancestors about “cause and effect” and “virtue as the vessel that holds abundance,” the underlying logic is exactly the same—
Money is really a byproduct of a person’s character and capacity.
If your fate—or, put another way, your understanding—is only as big as a small cup, then even if the heavens suddenly send a torrential downpour, or force 10 million into your hands, the cup can’t hold it all. The excess water will inevitably spill out.
You’ll either squander it on reckless spending, get fleeced after listening to rumors, or let arrogance and overconfidence take over in the market until you blow up your account in one fell swoop.
A lot of people think the market is cruel, but that’s not it.
When you come into wealth beyond what your character can bear, in the law of cause and effect, that’s called “virtue not matching one’s position.” If the money stays in your hands, you won’t even be able to sleep. Naturally, it will find a way back into the pockets of people who can handle it.
So in trading, the biggest mistake is to restlessly chase after celebrations that aren’t yours to join.
Instead of worrying every day about how many times other people’s money has multiplied, spend more time working on your character. Widen your capacity and strengthen your foundation, and when wealth comes, you’ll be able to hold on to it.
💡 Refine your character and weather bull and bear markets. Let’s encourage one another. Follow me, and let’s grow together. #心性修炼 #投资认知 #交易心法 #财富密码 #BinanceSquare

The most important saying in crypto isn’t “HODL”—it’s this:
Crypto is full of catchy slogans: HODL, WAGMI, DYOR, To the Moon…
But if I could leave newcomers with just one, I’d choose this without hesitation: 🔥 Not your keys, not your coins.
This isn’t a criticism of exchanges, nor does it mean you should move all your assets into a cold wallet.
It’s a reminder of a harsh but crucial fact: 💡 When you don’t hold the private keys, what you have isn’t coins—it’s a “promise of a balance” from someone else.
From Mt. Gox to FTX and then Celsius… Every industry-shaking crisis brings this saying painfully back to mind.
The ultimate purpose of cryptography isn’t simply rising prices—it’s returning absolute control over assets from institutions to individuals.
⚠️ One last thought: There’s nothing wrong with keeping funds on an exchange for the convenience of frequent short-term trading. But for assets you’re holding long term, make sure you ask yourself: Who actually holds your private keys?
What do you think is the most important saying? Feel free to leave a comment.

《Bitcoin Belief: A Tool for Equality and the Rewards of Long-Term Holding》
People often say, “You have to believe in Bitcoin.” But this belief has never been an empty slogan. It means embracing a system that promotes equality, and recognizing the proven benefits of long-term wealth growth.
I. History has shown: believers have reaped real rewards Looking back at Bitcoin’s history, those who truly understood its principles, held onto their conviction over the long term, and stayed invested have almost all seen their wealth grow substantially—some even achieving financial freedom. By contrast, those who treated it as a short-term speculative asset and repeatedly bought high and sold low often ended up losing money. Real wealth creation is the most tangible reward for long-term understanding and conviction.
II. Fairness under the rules Markets may be volatile, but the fairness they offer lies in transparent rules that apply equally to everyone. Regardless of status or the size of their holdings, everyone faces the same rules, governed by open-source code and consensus. Bitcoin gives ordinary people another option for taking control of their own assets.
III. Satoshi Nakamoto’s groundbreaking achievement: proving his conviction through action Bitcoin’s decentralization is determined by its code and mechanisms. What is most striking about Satoshi Nakamoto is that he has never touched the vast fortune mined in Bitcoin’s early days. He did not convert it into personal wealth, but left it in the hands of the network-wide consensus. This extraordinary restraint demonstrates that this tool was created to give everyone a fair opportunity.
IV. The true meaning of belief: a tool for equality for ordinary people Is it perfect? No. It still comes with volatility and barriers to entry. But it is one of the most valuable tools for promoting equality that ordinary people can access today.
We may not be able to change the wider environment, but we can choose our own tools. As more and more people recognize this and choose to get involved, Bitcoin becomes a powerful means of protecting their assets and pursuing freedom.
Belief means not only having strong faith in the wealth-building potential of long-term holding, but also deeply embracing this system of equality and property rights.
What does believing in Bitcoin mean to you? Is it a safe-haven asset, or is it the equality and property sovereignty behind it? Share your thoughts in the comments.

【Trading Psychology / Episode 1】Is it born in despair or does it mature in optimism? One chart to understand the crypto market’s current predicament
📜 Classic quote: “Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria.”
📜 Quote attributed to: Sir John Templeton (Note: A pioneer of global investing and founder of the Templeton Fund. Known for his contrarian approach to investing, he offered this as a particularly incisive summary of long-term market cycles.)
💡 Analysis and practical takeaways: This quote sums up the psychology of a complete bull-bear cycle in capital markets:
Born on pessimism: At the bleakest point in a bear market, everyone says prices are heading to zero. That’s when a bottom quietly forms.
Grow on skepticism: Prices start rising, but most retail investors don’t believe it and think it’s a bear-market rally. The market keeps climbing amid all the doubt.
Mature on optimism: Everyone on social media is posting their gains, convinced the bull market has arrived. Good news is everywhere, and prices are nearing their peak.
Die on euphoria: The market descends into a frenzy (euphoria), with retail investors even borrowing money to buy in. Eventually, the bubble bursts and destruction follows.
🤔 The current market conundrum: Where are we in the cycle?
Watching BTC swing wildly at high levels over the past few days, I feel the market is in a mixed state: It looks like the “growing on skepticism” phase—many people don’t believe BTC can break to new highs, so plenty of bears are stubbornly holding their short positions, providing fuel for a rally. At the same time, some sectors are starting to show signs of “maturing on optimism”—MEME coins are everywhere, and speculation in some sectors has become frenzied.
So here’s the question: Have we seen true euphoria yet? Which phase do you think we’re in?

I dug up the account where I spent nearly $20,000 on cloud hashing power at Genesis Mining back in the day, and I’m devastated…
Post: Today, while clearing out old passwords, I logged into my account at the once-famous Genesis Mining. Let’s take a look at my purchase history:
Between 2017 and 2019, I bought all kinds of contracts—SHA-256, Dagger-Hashimoto, Cryptonight. I didn’t miss a thing.
The biggest purchase cost me $9,557, and another one was $5,860. I ended up sinking nearly $20,000 into it!
Then I opened my account balance:
BTC: 0.00007272
ETH: 0.01824326
XMR: 0.28015978
Back then, I thought buying “permanent/long-term hashing power” would let me earn passive income without lifting a finger. Turns out, it all just became Expired. If I’d bought and held $20,000 worth of coins back then, I’d be financially free by now…
Question for everyone: How many of you got burned by cloud hashing power/cloud mining rigs back in the day? Leave a comment and let me know I’m not alone 😭

Don’t listen to what they say—look at what the money is actually doing 🔍
The market is filled every day with people calling tops and bottoms, but opinions are free; holdings are real.
Cut through the noise and look only at the real choices made from 2020 to 2026 by compliant capital backed by financial reports and legal documentation:
1. Spot ETF custody (Wall Street’s regulated channel)
From nearly zero in 2020 to 1.6 million BTC in 2026, or 8% of the total supply. The main entry point for compliant capital.
2. Public company holdings disclosed in financial reports (led by MSTR)
From 50,000 BTC to 1.35 million BTC, or 6.75% of the total supply. BTC has officially entered corporate balance sheets.
3. Sovereign nations/government custody (legal seizures + strategic reserves)
Steady at 680,000 BTC, or 3.4%. Sovereign-level interest is now impossible to ignore.
4. Small retail holders (<10 BTC; grassroots consensus)
Grew against the trend from 650,000 BTC to 3 million BTC, or 15%. Their roots are growing deeper with every shakeout.
📌 Summary
Opinions can change at any moment; on-chain capital doesn’t lie.
The three major compliant entities (ETFs + public companies + governments) have locked up more than 3.6 million BTC, or 18.15% of the total mined supply.
Learn to look at what the money is doing, not just listen to what people are saying.
Do you think compliant capital will keep buying next, or trigger a new round of rotation? Share your thoughts in the comments.

3. Sovereign nations/government custody (legal seizures + strategic reserves)
Steady at 680,000 BTC, or 3.4%. Sovereign-level interest is now impossible to ignore.
4. Small retail holders (<10 BTC; grassroots consensus)
Grew against the trend from 650,000 BTC to 3 million BTC, or 15%. Their roots are growing deeper with every shakeout.
📌 Summary
Opinions can change at any moment; on-chain capital doesn’t lie.
The three major compliant entities (ETFs + public companies + governments) have locked up more than 3.6 million BTC, or 18.15% of the total mined supply.
Learn to look at what the money is doing, not just listen to what people are saying.
Do you think compliant capital will keep buying next, or trigger a new round of rotation? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Why does the more you learn about trading, the more you feel like a sucker? Because you’re on the wrong side.
Everyone knows: history is written by the victors.
But no one tells you the rest: people who read history always end up on the side of the victors, too.
That’s the root of your losses.
When you look at Bitcoin’s history, what do you remember?
Someone buying a pizza with 10,000 BTC. A new high of $100,000 after the halving.
You automatically imagine yourself as the person who held on.
But you never imagine yourself as:
The person who traded their coins for an iPhone and got out in 2011
The person who lost 90% in the 2018 bear market and deleted the app
The person who treated LUNA like a bank deposit in 2022
They’re the majority. They were never written into history.
That’s how financial markets work:
20% of people make money, but 80% think entirely from the perspective of that 20%.
The clearest example is going all in.
You only see the winners getting rich after going all in, but you miss the sequence of events.
The truth comes down to one thing:
Faith comes first, and going all in is execution; faith comes later, and going all in is gambling.
We all worship the outcome, but turn a blind eye to the long, silent process of failure that came before it.
So the more history you study, the more like a sucker you become; the more you watch the charts, the worse you get at trading.
What about you? Is your current all-in move execution, or gambling?

Yesterday’s BTC four-year cycle chart got 2.3k views, but it was too cluttered, so I’ve put together a minimalist version here that focuses only on timing: No price guesses, just time: Bitcoin’s 4 clocks
History doesn’t simply repeat itself; I only track timing.
I’ve organized 4 time windows—purely on a timeline, with no price predictions:
1. Halving to peak: 12–18 months
2012.11 halving → 2013.11 peak: 12 months
2016.07 halving → 2017.12 peak: 17 months
2020.05 halving → 2021.11 peak: 18 months
2024.04 halving → 2025.10 peak: 18 months
2. Halving to bottom: 25–30 months
2012.11 halving → 2015.01 bottom: 25 months
2016.07 halving → 2018.12 bottom: 29 months
2020.05 halving → 2022.11 bottom: 30 months
2024.04 halving → 2026.05–2026.10: watching to see whether it’s a true bottom
3. Peak to bottom: 13–15 months
2013.11 peak → 2015.01 bottom: 15 months
2017.12 peak → 2018.12 bottom: 13 months
2021.11 peak → 2022.11 bottom: 13 months
2025.10 peak → 2026.10–12: to watch
4. Bottom to next halving: 18–19 months
2015.01 bottom → 2016.07 halving: 19 months
2018.12 bottom → 2020.05 halving: 18 months
2022.11 bottom → 2024.04 halving: 18 months
2026.09–10 true or false bottom → expected 2028.03 halving: 18–19 months
Actual low this year: 2026.06 $59,023
I’m not judging whether this is the bottom; time will tell.

Update: A clearer 4-clock version is out—see my latest post
No price guessing, just timing: Bitcoin’s two time windows
1. Halving to peak: 12–18 months
2012.11 halving -> 2013.11 peak +12M
2016.07 halving -> 2017.12 peak +17M
2020.05 halving -> 2021.11 peak +18M
2024.04 halving -> 2025.10 peak +18M
2. Halving to bottom: 25–30 months
2015.01 +25M
2018.12 +29M
2022.11 +30M
Current window:
Standard: 2024.04 halving +25∼30M = 2026.05–2026.10
Slowest path: 18M (to peak) + 15M (peak to bottom) = 33M = latest by 2027.01
After the bottom: about 18–19 months until the next halving.
I’m not judging whether $59,018 is the bottom; I’m just tracking the timing. Time will tell.
Chart: pure timeline, no price forecast

A song about Bitcoin, once captured in music.
“No central banks, no borders; its strength comes from trust and wisdom.”
In a noisy market, code and the underlying logic of decentralization remain objective and pure. With this song, I pay tribute to algorithmic rules and an egalitarian order.
