The crypto world is no longer in the "storytelling" stage.

In the past, you could easily pump the market by just making a PPT or telling a narrative, but that's no longer possible.
The projects that can still survive are either profitable products or projects with real traffic, genuine payment capabilities, or true AI capabilities.
Second, I am increasingly convinced of one point:
The biggest mistake ordinary people make is not having money, but not daring to use leverage.
Banks are begging you to borrow money every day, with annualized interest rates of three or four percent, and you leave the funds to gather dust;
Meanwhile, others use low-interest funds to chase returns, and after a few years, the gap widens directly.
A word of advice to friends who like to trade contracts.
Don’t always think about going all-in, hedge longs and shorts, split positions, and control drawdowns—earning slow money is much more comfortable than betting on the direction.
With the current market, I still feel that we are not in a "real bull market."
Although Bitcoin has pulled back above 80k, many of the rises are actually with decreasing volume.
Until there is a real breakout with increased volume, I personally remain cautious.
Especially since the Federal Reserve, inflation, and mid-term elections—these big risks—haven't yet materialized.
Many people are now living in too much fear.
Afraid of losing money, afraid of debt, afraid of failure, afraid of what others think.
But in this era, many opportunities are actually reserved for those who dare to take risks.
I increasingly believe what the old chief used to say:
When you're young, venture into the world—don’t be afraid.
When you’re older and look back on life—don’t have regrets.
