Perspective: The financial market is a zero-sum game. When you win, it means someone else is losing, whether the market is in a downtrend or uptrend?

The saying "The financial market is a zero-sum game" is true in some cases but not entirely accurate. In short-term trading such as futures or options, it really is a zero-sum game because if one person profits, the other loses, and no new value is created.

However, with long-term investments such as stocks, real estate, gold, and spot crypto, the value of assets can increase over time and everyone can profit together due to the increase in money supply. At this point, the market becomes a positive-sum game because new value is created and many people benefit together.

You buy BTC at a profit, then sell it back to me, and then the price of BTC continues to rise, and I sell it to someone else. If the price of BTC continues to rise over time, then everyone in this chain can make a profit. In the case of BTC, over the past 16 years, 100% of those who held for more than 4 years have made a profit, and no one has incurred a loss.

Simply put, short-term traders are sharing the existing pie, while long-term investors are those waiting for the pie to grow so that everyone can have a share.#BTC & ETH Launchpool Yield Exceeds 3% #Alpha Points System Opens #Ethereum 10th Anniversary
