2025 Investment Review: Doing the Right Things with the Right People

It's the end of the year, so it's time for a review. To be honest, I’ve pretty much stepped on all the pits, and I didn’t seize many opportunities, but at least I managed to participate in a few hot projects' dips at the last minute of the year, so I guess there’s some gain.

The most painful lesson from holding positions is—sticking to being a holder, the more I hold, the more foolish I become. The criticisms of certain projects mid-year now look like blood and tears lessons. Experiences with projects like $ZKJ are enough to show that just complaining is useless; you need to learn how to find true value amid volatility.

The biggest insight is that having the right people by your side is very important. Whether you can seize market opportunities often depends on the channels through which you obtain information and the timeliness of your decisions. I will also review the pitfalls I’ve stepped into and the final gains in detail later, but the core logic is clear: Web3 investing requires calm analysis, not blind holding.
