What you think is stability may just be a frog in warm water.

I have seen too many people treat "stability" as a belief—clinging to a salary, a set process, and a seemingly safe system. What’s the result? When the market changes, they are the first on the layoff list. This kind of stability actually means handing your life over to someone else's rules.

What truly withstands the storm relies on three things:

**Deep pockets** — You need to have chips that you can use to walk away at any time. If the cash flow stops, even the sturdiest chair will collapse.

**Universal Skills**——Can your abilities be applied elsewhere to continue earning a living? If the answer is "I can only get by in this company," then that's dangerous.

**Winning in Chaos** - Can you see opportunities when others are in panic? Those who buy the dip during a market crash will always earn more than those standing guard at the peak.

Stability is not about clinging to one position, but rather having the ability to start over at any time.

The metaphor of boiling a frog in warm water is spot on; all those around me who talked about stability are now job hunting. To be honest, having cash flow is the true stability; everything else is an illusion. That's why I've been Coin Hoarding and saving USD, my frens laughed at me, and now they all regret it, haha. The point about skills being transferable hits home; too many people only know how to eat the company's food. Winning in chaos, just like that wave in '24, while others were running, I was buying the dip, and now I've multiplied my returns. Instead of waiting for layoffs, it's better to take the initiative; the ability to restart is the real moat. Wow, this article is talking about the survival rules of web3 people, we've been doing this all along. The line about having a deep pocket is the most brutal; without money, you can't weather any storm, and empty talk is meaningless.

You're absolutely right, but who can really save enough money these days when just working isn't enough to make a living. --- It sounds beautiful, but the reality is that most people neither have the chips nor the universal skills, and they've long been trapped. --- Winning in chaos is easier said than done. When the collapse happens, who dares to buy the dip? Panic is stronger than rationality. --- Having universal skills is key, but developing a skill that can be traded for food requires time and opportunity, a cycle that repeats. --- To be honest, everyone around me is waiting for stability, and no one is thinking about how to break this deadlock; habits are even more numb than the fluctuations of the Chain Community. --- Three things are correct, but the first one is the hardest. The speed of saving money can never keep up with inflation. --- This theory is even clearer in the crypto world; those who only know how to buy the dip are now also cutting losses.

Ironically, those who truly have cash flow would never write such articles [冷笑]

It's too heartbreaking to say. Over the past few years, I've seen through it all. The so-called iron rice bowl is just a joke. Now everyone is hoarding ETH and USDC to protect themselves.

The analogy of boiling frogs is spot on; the guy next to me is a living textbook. He has held a stable monthly salary for eight years and only realized on the day of layoffs that he couldn't do anything. Honestly, if I don't hold some cash flow, I can't sleep well. In this market, not having chips is like waiting to be slaughtered. Those who buy the dip are indeed making a killing, but it all depends on whether you can stay clear-headed while others are screaming; most people simply cannot. Skills need to be reusable; otherwise, you'll really be trapped. I have a deep understanding of this point.

The metaphor of boiling frogs in warm water is brilliant; in simple terms, it's a form of slow suicide. Now I understand why so many people are struggling in the crypto world; it's actually because they are afraid of being boiled to death in warm water.

No money in the pocket, what stability to talk about, that's too absolute. Now I understand why those crypto veterans are never afraid of a bear market. Wait, doesn't that just mean what sounds nice, "as long as you're alive, you should hustle"? I can deeply relate, the word stability has long been outdated. The point about skills being transferable hits home, especially in our industry. The words are not wrong, but the reality is that most people can't even save that "pocket". The difference in returns between buying the dip and standing guard is really like heaven and earth.

The metaphor of boiling a frog in warm water is spot on; so many people around me are living like this without realizing it. Seriously, that's too realistic; cash flow really is the last lifeline. Having deep pockets is the way to go; everything else is just fluff. That's why I have been Coin Hoarding, always ready to run. Honestly, when the market crashes is when smart people buy the dip, while the panicking suckers are crying over there. If your skills are lacking, it really is dangerous; just wait to be replaced.

nah this is just describing liquidity management and optionality... the real signal is who's actually accumulating during the panic phases. watch the wallet clustering patterns when the market dumps.

Indeed, holding tight to cash flow is the key. I have seen too many people regret it after being laid off. So true, it's scary when all your skills can only be used in one company; you're useless if you leave. Those who are still lying flat during a crash deserve to be Tied Up; only those who dare to buy the dip can turn things around. The metaphor of boiling a frog in warm water is spot on; the comfort trap is the deadliest. Having no goods in your pocket is useless; skill exchange is the real insurance. Just having a job doesn't mean stability; that's being trapped. The market's panic tests people the most; those who can buy the dip are already financially free.
