A couple of days ago in Hangzhou, the Dragon King kept bringing up this point with me: First of all, this space is absolutely a zero-sum market. The vast majority of altcoins don’t create any value, so wealth is generated only when external funds flow in. In this space, trading is the hardest path to take—like, the *hardest*. Secondly, arbitrage, mining, airdrops, MEME coins, and shitcoins are all harder paths than contract trading. I’ve reduced the frequency and scale of my trading—not because I’ve been hit hard, but because the more top-tier traders I meet, the more I realize my talent isn’t strong enough. Plus, staring at alerts every day and watching the charts for long hours just exhausts me. I want to take a break, be a lazy dog for now, and enjoy life a bit. Look at Shen Da now—he’s killing it, the king of dual tracks. I used to be like that too. Back in the day, I was even more aggressive than him. In the first half of 2024, I could print $2M+ every month. Why am I lazy now? I did the math and reflected on myself. With my current material situation, I don’t need to push myself too hard anymore. I just need to allocate 30% of my funds to airdrops and farming. Combined with my past successes and my status as a top KOL, I’ve got tools like @Wave_Tool, which has a solid reputation in the industry. I can easily achieve 30% or even 50%+ growth in total assets annually, and this growth involves very little trading. I can live comfortably. I won’t lose sleep over big positions. In the next two years, maybe the next term will still be Republican, so we’ve got another five years. In the next 2-5 years, either you achieve explosive growth, or you achieve steady growth with some aggressive strategies. If you can’t, then there won’t be any pools left for you to scoop from in the future. After 30, you start thinking about how many good days you have left as a man. Lowering your ego comes with questioning whether your brain is playing tricks on you. Don’t doubt me—I have my own rhythm and thoughts. You’ve got to stay alive to have a chance to crush the entire universe.
