The funds on the exchange are fully allocated to BTC spot. With the help of derivatives tools, I added a bit of leverage. This time, I’ll take lessons from the last round: I won’t do swing trading, and I won’t chase altcoins (including ETH) to “make up” for a rebound. I’ll be a diamond-handed holder, a passive investor.
I’ll just play around with AI in my daily life, work on business, and strive to grow cash flow.
Sometimes I can’t hold onto a position; it’s not a problem of ability, and it’s not a mindset issue either. It’s simply that I don’t have enough money—my cash flow isn’t plentiful enough.
Zhang Yongping was able to hold on to over 200 times his position in NetEase. The core reason is that his exposure was small. BTC, as a beta-type asset in the crypto market, has advantages with high certainty. That’s why exposure can be amplified, and even some low leverage can be added. Of course, since BTC’s volatility has been getting smaller and the pace has been slowing down, what’s even more important is really to build positions at some important price levels.
The rest of the moves are simply to not trade—either hold the position or stay in cash. There’s nothing else that has much point to it.
For everyday activities, I think it’s just playing around with AI, creating cash flow, and finding some light-asset business lines that bring in new cash flow.
Fill up your time, and fill up your cash flow. With that kind of positioning, you have more conviction. This is the best strategy for now.
