Others fear, I greed — sounds cool, but Buffett never said it that simply. Many people don't know that in 1972, he borrowed 20 million USD all in, and ended up trapped for two years with red in his account. An ordinary person would have run away early, but he doubled down and held on until it doubled. This isn't called an investment mindset; it's a gambler's heart combined with a madman's execution.



Now, when the market fluctuates slightly, how many people start to panic? The problem is, most people can't learn this approach of the investment cycle. Falling prices are an opportunity — that's true, but the key is whether you have the tools to buy the dip.

DeFi has changed the game rules. Take a leading stablecoin ecosystem as an example; its logic is particularly wild: stake assets, lend out stablecoins, buy the dip when prices fall, and then use the gains to leverage and reinvest when prices rise. No need to kneel and beg for bank approval, nor fear liquidation, because of the over-collateralization mechanism, and interest rates can be dynamically adjusted. Once this process is automated, it’s like systematizing Buffett’s "grinding" approach and amplifying it.

The governance token in this ecosystem plays a crucial role. It not only represents governance rights — participating in parameter adjustments and controlling moments of greed — but also signifies profit rights. The more volatile the market, the greater the arbitrage space, and the more the token’s value stands out. During bear markets, accumulate opportunities; during bull markets, convert to real cash. The token acts like a sniper rifle in the cycle.

So don’t just stay at the level of "others fear, I greed" motivational quotes. True greed requires tools, strategies, and execution power. Volatile markets are not risks; they are stages for you to practice. To learn to "stick to it till the end" in DeFi, first understand how the stablecoin ecosystem operates — this is the correct way to approach cycle investing.
