Recently, there's been an interesting phenomenon—discussions about A-shares in major groups have skyrocketed, and old friends from the crypto circle are shifting their focus to Hong Kong stocks, U.S. stocks, and even A-shares. They still maintain the same enthusiasm as when they chased after obscure coins back in the day, with adrenaline soaring high, passionately discussing each target.

In comparison, the crypto world seems a bit quiet. So quiet that people start asking themselves these questions:

Has the once so attractive charm of our industry faded? Can ordinary people still feel the opportunity to make money? Where have those opportunities gone that once kept everyone awake at night?

What are those who still stay here really waiting for? These questions flicker in every practitioner's mind. Perhaps this is the moment for the industry to reflect.

Well... to be honest, people still clustering in the crypto world now are a bit like playing with leftovers. The A-shares market is indeed crazy right now, but don't forget that the crypto world was just as crazy about this time last year. Just wait for the wind to come; anyway, I'm not in a hurry. When this round of market trend will reach the crypto world, who knows, but it will definitely come. Those who stay are all gamblers, and I am one of them.

Everyone has shifted to the A-shares market, and I'm still holding on here. Am I really foolish or do I truly believe?

People move upward, funds move toward profits, which is very normal. The crypto circle is currently bottoming out, waiting for the next wave.

It has been rolled into A-shares; the crypto circle truly lacks adrenaline.

Ha, this is what you call "reading the wind and steering the sail." People are rushing to places where they can make money. The local dog has been trading for so many years, now switching to a different target to keep going. Essentially, it's still a gambler's mentality. Honestly, that's how the crypto world is now. Once the retail investors are drained, there's no story left. Wait for the next wave of narratives. Instead of asking what you're still waiting for, better ask yourself how much more you can lose. This group of people really should reflect. But I bet five bucks they'll come back during the next bull market.

Haha, brothers, playing stocks now is just like going all-in on a dog coin back in the day, I just laugh. Actually, there's always an opportunity, it just depends on whether you know how to get it for free. The crypto world is really cold, but those who get wiped out are even colder.

It's just that the profit-making effect is gone; who doesn't want to follow the trend and make quick money? The crypto circle is now just waiting for the next wave of hype; there's no story to tell anymore. Well said, it's time to reflect, or it will really cool down. This round of market movement is indeed dull; even seasoned traders have gone to stock trading. Instead of waiting for the wind, it's better to create the wind yourself, but right now no one dares to move. Profit opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing are people who can seize them. The lull is temporary; hot money will find a place, and the crypto circle will come back.

They all ran away, gone to stock trading. The crypto circle really lost its charm. --- Honestly, the profit-making effect is gone, and people have dispersed. --- What are we waiting for? Waiting for the next bull market, but who knows when it will come. --- Actually, it's still the same group of people, just switched tracks; the essence hasn't changed. --- I think it's from FOMO to no FOMO—that's the real watershed. --- Old-timers in the crypto circle have all gone to trade A-shares. That’s so despairing, haha. --- Quiet? I think it’s about time it’s quiet. Too many trash projects should be cleared out. --- What are we waiting for? Waiting for the bull market to give us one last chance? Overthinking it. --- It's a bit ironic. They used to criticize A-shares back then, and now they’re rushing in. --- It’s truly "survival of the fittest." When the opportunities to make money are gone, who will still dream with you? --- The charm of the crypto world is getting rich quickly. Without wealth, what’s left?

Honestly, right now everyone is into stocks; the crypto world really doesn't have that vibe anymore. --- Wait, can they really make money in A-shares? I feel like they're getting cut even faster. --- Damn, this is the cycle. Someone has to take the other side. --- Those who stay are either crazy or seeing something I haven't seen. --- The era of "tough dogs" really won't come back; that crazy spirit only happens once. --- The question is, does A-shares really make more money than crypto, or is it just a different way of cutting? --- Cold? I think it should be cold; clearing your mind is more important than anything. --- No more opportunities left, only arbitrage and gambling remain. It doesn't matter which market.

Basically, everyone is running, so what's the point of pretending. --- Wait, can those people also make money in A-shares? I haven't seen it. --- Is the charm gone? Ha, it’s been gone for a long time. Now it’s just gamblers comforting each other. --- For those who stay, either they have no money and leave, or they still hold onto the dream of getting rich. --- Really, the crypto world is now just a retirement home; as long as you're alive, that's enough. --- A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, play whatever you want, they’re all gambling anyway. --- The opportunity to stay awake at night? That’s called FOMO, and it’s been cured. --- What’s the point of persistence? If you can’t make money, don’t persist. --- Quiet is good, peaceful. The most chives are during the chaos.
