Why is it so hard for people who退 out for a long time to re-enter the crypto圈?

I have a friend I got to know in the crypto world about 5–6 years ago.

In my memory, back then he earned anywhere from the low tens of millions in those years—small to big wins in the market.

Later he left the crypto圈 and went into another industry.

I guess that other industry has also become very competitive,

so the initial millions he’d fought for ended up leaving him mentally and physically exhausted. Now he has nowhere near as much left.

He wants to get back into the crypto圈, but he told me:

“I feel like I can’t get back in no matter what I do, because everything just seems expensive.

Bitcoin’s unit price has already gone much higher over these years.

And the so-called new ways of playing it—when I try them myself, it’s really hard.

I always feel like I’m a step behind.

When I place trades, I keep making mistakes, one after another.

So, in the end, I left again—quietly, like a retreat.”

“That’s how it is: once you’ve been away for a long time, you’ll find you really do have a hard time getting back in…”

So this圈 can only ever let through those who

can keep learning, keep a kind of courage, and charge forward—while never risking everything in a single round of failure.

The “old-timers” who can truly stay in here for a very, very long time will become fewer and fewer.

And after someone leaves the圈 and goes into other fields, then hasn’t touched it for a long time,

the number of people who can re-enter is even smaller—so it really proves that saying:

Every year the blossoms look the same; every year the people trading crypto are different.

Not long ago, when nobody cared and attention was scarce, people were疯狂 buying.

But now that many people are疯狂 chasing price increases,

everyone’s asking me everywhere: “What can we buy to get on the train now?”

Ironically, some of the old-timers have started to stay silent.

Holding Bitcoin steadily, and executing your own trading system well—

that’s the fastest shortcut.

Because this world doesn’t have real shortcuts. Everyone’s shortcut is to calm down, focus on what you’re good at, and let your strategy be the best shortcut.!#
