Newcomers must first complete "initial capital accumulation."
It's not about getting rich overnight, but about having the freedom of time to focus on the事业 you want to pursue.
It could be hitting a big airdrop, making that money generate interest, so you no longer have to hustle for survival or be led by market trends.
What state in the crypto world counts as completing initial accumulation?
It's not A7, A8,
but—
Even if the market is冷淡, with few opportunities, your position, your holding strategy, and your profit approach should allow you to stay calm, not be forced to go all-in, and not need to chase hot topics every day.
This money could come from a project you bet on that has multiplied several times,
or from multiple small-scale practical gains,
or even from slowly arbitraging and earning during a bear market.
The logic is simple:
This money becomes your底气, not your burden.
Why is this difficult?
Because this market is designed to make you unable to make money.
Once you've completed initial accumulation, you won't be rushing every day, won't blindly FOMO, and won't be emotionally swept away.
This is not allowed by the "market machine."
So from your first day in the圈, everything pushes you to lose money:
New narratives, hot projects, KOL chain traps, airdrop illusions, wealth frenzy, crowd effects, short-term temptations...
When you're making money, it tells you: keep increasing your position, this time the bull market will无限扩张;
When you're losing money, it tells you: try again, you can always turn it around.
Crypto consumption isn't about buying cars or watches,
it's about chasing opportunity after opportunity,
from "I must seize a big one"
to "Why am I gambling on the next one again?"
The ultimate principle of initial accumulation is simple:
First, protect the principal, then seek复利, and finally look for opportunities.
It's not projects that make you financially自由,
but you first become someone who won't be led by the market.
When you have a sum of money sitting steadily, dare to act calmly during冷静 times, dare to stay composed when missing out, and dare to build chips quietly during熊市,
then your initial accumulation is complete.
From that moment on,
you are finally no longer fuel for the market.
