#比特币与黄金战争 Bull and bear cycles, but your ability to generate wealth is the real key

Lately I've been thinking that the market's ups and downs are not the most important thing. What truly allows you to survive and thrive in the crypto world is your own money-making system.

Many people chase hot topics and ride the wave of traffic all day, but they overlook the most fundamental question—what skills do you use to make money in this market? That is the foundation of survival. If you can operate independently without relying on anyone, eat more when opportunities are abundant, eat less during lean times, this kind of flexibility and adaptability is more valuable than anything else. After all, at our core, we just want to live life on our own terms.

My recent view is to remain cautiously optimistic about altcoins. Compared to those who are shouting "the crypto market is over" every day

It sounds good, but to be honest, most people don't have this "self-sustaining system" at all; they are all armchair strategists after the fact. The real test is coming—who can stay sober in a bear market, rather than holding onto their bags and waiting for the next bubble narrative to arrive. Altcoins? According to supply and demand curves, this thing is Schrödinger's bull market—both art and trash, depending on who makes the final move. Instead of preaching "independent operation," it's better to honestly study how to read candlestick charts—this is the real skill to survive in the Web3 era. It sounds like something Buffett would agree with, but in the crypto world, "flexible adaptation" often just means frequent stop-losses followed by going all-in again; no one can escape this cycle.

Damn, you're so right. How many people stare at K-line charts every day until their eyes go blind, yet they still end up losing... The key is to have your own set of strategies. In fact, chasing hot topics is all about the mentality of retail investors; those who truly make money are quietly doing their own thing. Be cautious with altcoins, but opportunities are also there—it's all about whether you have that sense of smell. I strongly agree; independent operation is truly valuable. No need to wait for big influencers' guidance every day. That's what I think too; being able to control risk is more important than anything. People who shout every day often end up falling before dawn... this cycle is about to start again. The ability to generate revenue is indeed the key; without it, you're just at the mercy of being exploited. Honestly, having your own system is more effective than anything else; otherwise, how can you survive? I'm just worried I don't have that ability; having ideas alone isn't very useful. Bull and bear markets are cyclical; those who can make money can survive in any cycle.

To be honest, the ability to generate revenue really hits the core, much better than just watching K-line charts every day. An independent system is easy to talk about but extremely difficult to implement. Most people are just gambling. I won't touch altcoins anymore; I can't handle that kind of chaos. It's a good point, but knowing is easy, doing is hard. Few people can truly stick with it.

That's what they say, but after taking a look around, most people are just gambling. Wait, independent operation is easier to talk about than to actually do, it's hell to implement. Strong self-sustaining ability but without an information advantage is pretty much useless, to be honest. Are altcoins cautiously optimistic? I'm completely lying flat. This theory is very correct, but everyone's execution is really outstanding; most do the opposite.

That really hits home. Honestly, being self-sufficient is the true way to go. To be honest, compared to those who chase hot trends every day, I admire those who quietly make money. Systematic earning is indeed more reliable than predicting price rises and falls. The term "hematopoietic ability" is used perfectly here. That's how the crypto world should operate. It makes sense, but it still depends on the individual. Some people are naturally good at riding the wave and can survive that way.

Oh wow, you're so right. I love the term "blood-making ability," it just means you have to be able to earn on your own. I'm already tired of chasing hot topics; those who truly make money keep a low profile and get rich quietly. These days, the ones who talk the most often suffer the worst losses. Cautiously optimistic about altcoins? I think we should be more cautious now, after all, things that can plunge at any moment are really nerve-wracking. Carrying everything alone is the best feeling; that's called freedom. Endure the lean days, buy aggressively when things are good. Rhythm is very important, or you'll crash sooner or later.

That's true, but the key is how many people can really achieve self-sufficiency. Having your own system is important, but maintaining a stable market mindset is also essential. In the case of altcoins, you really need to be cautious; I stick with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Chasing hot topics indeed wastes energy; it's better to have your own judgment. Speaking of which, the most testing time is during periods of calm.
