The recent price fluctuations of USD1 have sparked quite a bit of discussion. Watching it drop to 1.0002, that magnitude is indeed a bit painful for early holders.

Here's the situation: if you entered at 1.0019, you initially hoped to maintain a long-term premium similar to the mining era. It even surged to 1.0040 at noon, which was quite exciting at the time. But a few hours later, it fell back down, resulting in a loss of nearly three days' interest earnings.

In contrast, new participants who joined now can directly enter at lower levels and enjoy the benefits of the rebound. This is the reality of stablecoin arbitrage—timing the entry determines the returns, and those who are late end up earning more. It's also the first time I deeply experienced the cost and sacrifice of early participants.

USD1-0.01%

The joys and sorrows of early bagholders, this is the portrait of the crypto world. Arbitrage really depends on timing; sometimes those who come late end up winning by default. You still need to find the right rhythm, or you'll always be chasing the high. Three days of interest just disappeared, this wave is indeed a bit painful. Dropping to 1.0002 is quite funny, can stablecoins fluctuate like this? Newcomers scoop up opportunities faster than we make money, which is a bit ironic haha. The mining premium days are probably gone for good, now it's all arbitrage players. Actually, the initial entry cost and effort are just like that, gradually you get used to it.

Once again, I've been cut. This is the fate of early entry. --- 1.0019 bought in now suffering a huge loss, three days of interest, truly incredible. --- Laughing to death, beginners are actually making money by bottom fishing. When will our group of old leeks turn around? --- This is the trap of stablecoins; you simply can't hold onto the premium. --- Why didn't you run when it hit 1.0040 at noon? This wave is quite typical. --- The early dividends are all illusions. Now it's quite clear. --- It's really great to be a newcomer, directly picking up bargains. It makes me so angry. --- Damn, this rhythm, the timing of entry really determines life or death.

Early entrants are always the ones who get harvested, right? This wave is indeed tough.

The rise and fall of a stablecoin are described as if it's a big deal.

The fate of early bagholders, there really is no such thing as buy low and sell high.
