Looking at the crypto market, many people fall into a strange cycle—chasing hot topics, watching prices, following emotions. For example, in major sectors like SOL, countless people jump in and out; the ones who actually make money are the minority. Why? Because most people are playing the same game: shallow consensus-driven speculation.
But fundamentally, investing is an information war. Those who grasp deep information can see through the market—researching tokenomics, team execution, on-chain activity data, and real-world application deployment. These dimensions are often overlooked by price chasers, yet they become the golden keys to making money. When shallow emotions diverge from deep facts, a window of opportunity opens.
How to operate practically? Instead of switching tokens every week, it’s better to focus intensely on 1-2 sectors. Taking the SOL ecosystem as an example, deeply understand its technical upgrade roadmap and the logic behind ecosystem project development. Even if you’re temporarily trapped in a short-term dip, you can distinguish whether it’s a temporary adjustment or a real problem. Strict stop-loss is important, but combined with deep understanding, it helps maintain rationality in a volatile market.
That said, cognitive advantage isn’t万能. The crypto market relies heavily on macro liquidity and narrative-driven factors. Sometimes, market irrationality can short-term drown out any fundamental advantages. So the final point is crucial: deep understanding is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. Position management, cycle judgment, and risk control are indispensable.
Ultimately, investing is about paying for your own cognition.
