Today's sharing: The biggest misconception about Web3 for newcomers is mistaking speculation as a track opportunity!
Thinking that buying any coin casually is laying out your digital future
The vast majority of newcomers just entering Web3
Fundamentally misunderstand the true nature of the entire track from the root
Seeing a few viral short videos about getting rich
They simplistically define Web3 as equal to trading coins, equal to quickly doubling your money
Their eyes only stare at the rising and falling K-lines, hundred-fold coins, and short-term arbitrage
Completely blind to core elements like blockchain technology, community, consensus, ecosystem, and asset verification#美国年度净资本流入创8840亿新高 #STRC触及历史低点 #USD1链上质押享年化9.48%
Their goal for entering the market is very single-minded
Just wanting to bet small money for high returns, turning their fortunes around overnight
They won't spend time researching
Whenever a new project launches on the market
As long as it comes with grand narratives and tempting price increase expectations
Newcomers can't help but impulsively deposit money and jump in
Unable to tell the difference between short-term speculation coins and long-term value projects
Emerson said: A superficial vision can only see the surface glitz.
Many newcomers also have an extreme perception
Believing Web3 is a shortcut for ordinary people to cross social classes
Traditional industries earn money slowly and with hard work, while Web3 can make you rich easily
Entering with this restless mindset, operations are entirely driven by emotions
When it goes up a bit, they frantically add positions; when it drops a bit, they panic and cut losses
Over the long term, their principal keeps shrinking, and they always blame the market conditions
They cannot distinguish the boundary between investment and speculation
Investment is about relying on value to earn growth dividends over the long term
Speculation is about gambling on short-term capital pump-induced spreads
Nine out of ten newcomers are purely speculating from start to finish
Yet they mistakenly believe they are investors seizing the trends of the times
Schopenhauer said: People with shallow cognition are easily blinded by immediate interests.
Those truly deeply engaged in Web3 understand clearly
Blockchain is just the underlying technology carrier, and coins are just the circulation medium of the ecosystem
The track's dividends will only be left for those who understand the rules, see the real-world application, and endure the cycles
The order of entry for mature players is always
First thoroughly grasp the industry basics, then screen for high-quality targets, and finally practice with small amounts of capital
They won't go all-in from the start, chasing various short-term hotspots
But newcomers' order is completely reversed
First deposit and enter the market to lose money, then only afterwards think to temporarily catch up on lessons
After losses, they only one-sidedly deny the entire track
Without reflecting on their own cognitive shortcomings, they simply conclude the market is all a scam
In 2026, Web3 will become increasingly mature, and the track layering will become more obvious
Abandon the shallow perception of "trading coins = Web3"
Calm down and truly understand the community, technology, ecosystem, cycles, and risk control
Only then can you truly step into the door of the digital economy!
