There is a saying worth pondering for everyone—reverse flow is the true shortcut to success.
Why is that? When you persist in deeply exploring an area that others avoid or are unwilling to venture into for three, five years, or even longer, you can gain three things that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
First is **a deep understanding of the entire system**. It’s not just surface-level knowledge of rules, but truly grasping the underlying logic, operational mechanisms, and implicit patterns—this is the foundation for building a competitive barrier.
Second is **real experience with risks and cycles**. It’s not just theoretical knowledge on paper, but the intuition and judgment accumulated through actual battles. Being able to read market signals at critical points, avoid traps, and seize opportunities.
Finally, is **gaining voice and pricing power at key positions**. When you become a true expert in this field, decision-making power naturally falls into your hands.
The crypto market is the same. The more volatile and controversial a track is, the more likely retail investors are to give up. But it is precisely in these neglected areas that those with patience and foresight are presented with the greatest opportunities.

To be honest, the reverse operation of this theory has long been validated in the crypto world. The early believers are now indeed making crazy profits.
Holding for three or five years? Come on, it's already impressive if retail investors can hold for three months without liquidation haha.
The underlying logic is easy to talk about, but how many can truly understand it and come out alive?
This wave of market activity seems to be bypassing unpopular sectors again. Let's wait and see who can laugh last.
Talking about voting rights and pricing power? Dream on, unless you're in that 1%.
The deeper you go, the greater the risk. Don't just look at the returns and forget the feeling of liquidation.
Indeed, the less touched by others, the greater the opportunity, but the premise is to survive until that day.

After all these years of struggle, it turns out I still have to think in reverse. It's starting to feel familiar.

Really, three or five years? I've already been exploring for six years and I'm still figuring things out.

That's right, reverse thinking is indeed the key. While everyone is chasing the hot spots, the real opportunities are actually in places no one wants.

After years of struggle, I finally realize that the real opportunities are in places others dare not touch.
