Late at night, a screenshot of investment losses on social media sparked widespread attention in the crypto world. An investor invested 500,000 yuan last year, and now the account balance is only 80,000, resulting in significant losses. Meanwhile, another group’s story of the big pump of PEPE coin has made people yearn for it. However, we must recognize that the current environment of the altcoin market has fundamentally changed.

In the face of this new situation, stubbornly sticking to the investment strategies of 2021 is tantamount to digging one's own grave. So, why has the once "lying down to win" era never returned?

First of all, the number of altcoin projects has seen explosive growth. The number of new projects added each month has surpassed 500, which is five times that of two years ago. This phenomenon is like a once quiet market suddenly being flooded with a large number of similar vendors, leading to a serious oversupply and ultimately causing many projects to struggle to survive.

Secondly, the entire Crypto Assets market is facing a serious funding shortage. Currently, the total market value of Crypto Assets is about $2.5 trillion, but there are more than 30,000 projects that need to share this funding. This situation is like trying to feed a large crowd with extremely limited food; the vast majority of projects find it difficult to obtain sufficient funding support, let alone a rise in prices.

Finally, with the changes in the market, the tactics of the operators are also constantly evolving. Through observing a certain trader, I found that their strategies have become increasingly shrewd and complex.

In such a market environment, investors need to be more cautious, thoroughly researching the potential and risks of projects rather than blindly following market trends. At the same time, it is important to recognize that the end of the era of huge profits may indicate that the market is maturing, which could be a necessary path for the long-term development of the Crypto Assets industry.
