Just a joke for you.

Imagine a scenario: if you bought during yesterday's silver volatility and sold in less than 24 hours, the profit you made — would directly crush those who have been holding Ethereum for 4 years.

Doesn't that sound a bit ironic? The price swings of traditional precious metals within a single day can actually surpass the multi-year holding returns of mainstream crypto assets. Whether the volatility and profit potential of the crypto market are a blessing or a curse, each trader has a different answer. Anyway, from this perspective, the absurdity of the market is indeed worth a laugh.

ETH-5.32%

Haha, really, a day's worth of silver market movement can match my four years of ETH gains. That's a bit too harsh.

Haha, this is how I feel about silver. Sometimes, the gains from short-term trading in a day can really match the quiet earnings I make from ETH in a year.

Haha, this example hits home. Four years of ETH still can't match the value of silver in one day🤡

I just want to say, that's why I never put all my eggs in one basket. Silver short-term fluctuations are indeed fierce, but the risk factor is also terrifyingly high. Without private key management and asset monitoring, you simply don't dare to sleep. For those who have held ETH for 4 years, they've long stored their private keys in multi-signature wallets and are just relaxing. Short-term fluctuations can blow your mind, but the logic of long-term holding is completely different. On-chain data speaks for itself. Those who are truly making money are engaged in asset allocation, not relying on daily volatility to turn things around.

Haha, I'm dead. That's exactly why I never dare to call myself a long-termist. It hits too close to home.

Haha, this is why I firmly refuse to touch precious metals, it's too surreal.

A day's profit from silver easily outperforms four years of old rookies—this is the difference between gambling and investing.
