After experiencing the events of October 11th and MMT, the account actually lost quite a bit.
This suddenly alerted me – have I been doing something that "looks quite hard, but actually is a huge loss" all along?
So I carefully reviewed the situation and categorized the tasks I had done according to their expected values:
• Trading, especially frequent opening of positions = a money-losing game
• Get airdrops = Guaranteed profit
• Free benefits = Steady profit
• Content output = the lowest cost chip accumulation
• Providing services to others = Earn
• Project party commission = profit
Only in trading, after long-term high-frequency operations, the losses are the most severe.

Why is trading so tricky?
Because there are not many new investors in the market now.
Fresh dumb money doesn't come in,
What remains are all seasoned veterans, smart people, and genius-level opponents.
What is the essence of trading?
It is just taking money from someone else's pocket.
You throw yourself into a room full of experts to grab money,
How many do you think you can grab?
In this market environment of stock competition,
The act of trading itself is becoming increasingly unprofitable.
It's not that you didn't work hard enough, it's that the rules of the game have changed.

What's even scarier is the mainstream values in the Crypto circle.
Regardless of whether it's Chinese or English CT, everyone is stepping on each other in the hierarchy of disdain.
• Look down on those who rely on accounts to make a living.
