In this market, it’s still better to watch more and move less.

To use an offhand analogy: the current “chickens” can be checked one by one at your door, but if they don’t match the facts—[basically they don’t]—don’t feel bad about making do. Don’t委屈 your little brother; just move on to the next one.
Even if you check three in a row, you might end up a bit disappointed and deflated.

The barrier to getting into X to trade crypto is also pretty high. If you don’t have a good reputation and word doesn’t spread, liquidity will definitely be just so-so.

Recently, when I wanted to find a push-y/oil spa, the thresholds were also tough. First you have to send photos for people to come over; then after ten minutes they tell you it’s not there and only then share the real address. When I went, I found it didn’t match the description. In the past, I might have thought, “Well, I’ll just put up with it for now.” But now I would leave decisively. It’s better to go find a legitimate massage shop.

I’ve become more and more patient, and I’m willing to wait.
I no longer fantasize about going all-in and hitting the jackpot overnight—sure, it’s possible, but the probability isn’t high.

Especially for the Bitcoin ecosystem—these past two years it’s been rather ordinary, but hasn’t it still made it through?

Protocols like ordinals, with some technical foundations and consensus, still have a chance to become the next wave again. It’s been quiet for two years, and I haven’t seen any other stories in web3 that can really keep going. Come back—this is the bull market for the Bitcoin ecosystem.
