Since the major crypto exchanges listed US stocks, the US stock market has also stopped rising. The last time this scenario played out was with precious metals and commodities—after they were listed on crypto exchanges, there was a final wave of movement, followed by a formal peak, trapping a round of retail investors in crypto. Now it seems like US stocks are about to repeat the same pattern.

If retail investors in crypto don't think independently and just follow the market trend to invest—from gold to crude oil to US stocks—they will invest across the board and end up trapped across the board. After all their principal is locked up, the crypto market cycle will come again, leaving them in an awkward position. So my suggestion is: for many high-priced assets, it's better to miss out than to take over. Right now, crypto is at a low point—steadily dollar-cost average into value coins, invest in areas you are familiar with, and don't mess around in unfamiliar fields. Otherwise, when the next market cycle arrives, you'll find your principal is gone.
