If you had thrown down a million last year to buy SanDisk and held on, you'd be sitting on 37 million now. Since the start of the year, I've had friends involved in Hong Kong and US stocks urging me to jump in and buy, saying that following Chuanmu would be profitable. Back then, Bitcoin was over 60k. I get that my buddy had my back, wanting to bring me along, but I've been hesitant to dive in.

Sometimes, you can't make money outside your understanding; to profit, it’s all about riding the market wave and having the right vision! The internet boom was like this, the current AI wave too, and I believe the blockchain revolution will follow suit. Right now, the top ten banks and major asset management firms in the U.S. are diving into crypto and financial on-chain solutions, educating clients on BTC and ETH will take time, but once they enter the game, the landscape will shift.

Instead of chasing after what others have already capitalized on, why not scout for quality projects in familiar territory? A few years back, I was all about those airdrops; the first good one I grabbed was ENS, registering an ETH domain for a few hundred bucks and getting airdrops worth thousands. I set up two addresses and realized I could scale it, so I ramped up with Galaxy (now renamed to G). When the airdrop first dropped, I could have traded it for a Porsche (too bad I didn’t sell at the cheap launch price). Later, I bought a truckload of ETH, costing me over a thousand USD, to do liquidity mining on StarkChain. Back then, it wasn't like now where you need a small range to snag high LPR; I worked with a large range for over half a year, averaging around 30% annualized returns, and snagged a good amount of STRK airdrops along the way.

In crypto, there are opportunities at every moment, and tuition fees are something we all have to pay. What we can do is sift through the garbage and find that shining project. Waiting for the wind to blow in your favor is more solid than running around aimlessly. This is also why I've been holding onto my TRX for rental and buying into some projects like RAY that have real income and buyback mechanisms. I'm not saying you should buy these, just suggesting that you focus on what you know best. If you can’t make money in your own turf, do you really think switching places will help? Isn’t it enough that BNB has skyrocketed dozens or even hundreds of times over the years?
