Newcomers to the cryptocurrency circle always ask: "Why do I have less and less Bitcoin?" In fact, this is not accidental, but the norm in this circle. To put it bluntly, various "new concepts" are launched one after another, using fancy things to take away your real money. From the blockchain revolution to the rise of new tracks, the routines behind are exactly the same.
2013: The era of junk coins attracting money
At that time, Bitcoin soared to 8,000 RMB, and a bunch of PoW coins suddenly emerged, such as Dogecoin (DOGE). At first, Dogecoin was positioned as a "small payment tool", but the founder liquidated his position early. Later, it was hyped up by a group of celebrities as a popular online coin, while some altcoins of the same period had already returned to zero. In those years, these projects took away a lot of Bitcoin.
2017: The Crazy Testing Ground for ICOs
With Ethereum as the "universal chain", various ICO projects have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Yunbi.com, Yuanbao.com, and Jubi.com staged the myth of getting rich overnight every day. The number of air coins at that time was even more exaggerated than the current meme coins. Behind this, investors' Bitcoin and Ethereum were quietly emptied. In the same year, NFT began to appear, laying the groundwork for the subsequent market hotspots.
2021: Zoo farce and NFT bubble
This year, the market focused on zoo tokens. Dogecoin got off to a good start, and all kinds of monkey, cat, and donkey tokens were hyped up. At the same time, NFT also became a hot product. The result? Ethereum became cannon fodder, and a lot of ETH was wasted on meaningless pictures and projects.
2024: Inscriptions and memes return
Does this year’s story sound familiar? The inscriptions at the beginning of the year made people think that the Bitcoin ecosystem was reborn, but it was forgotten by the market in the blink of an eye. At the end of the year, meme coins took over the baton and continued to make money with various "creative" means. This wave of hype eventually turned your mainstream coins into worthless "junk coins".
How to escape the fate of being harvested?
The truly smart players have long summed up an iron rule: reduce operations and hold mainstream coins for a long time. Those who cut off your assets do not get rich by speculating in junk coins, but become winners by cashing out your mainstream coins. Therefore, instead of chasing hot spots, it is better to focus on a few truly valuable assets.
Where is the next hot spot?
Looking back at history, every end of a bull market leaves “seeds” for the next bull market:
The junk coins of 2013 gave rise to the ICO boom of 2017.
The ICO and NFT in 2017 drove the DeFi explosion in 2021.
The zoo of 2021 lays the foundation for the meme coin wave of 2024.
After this bull market ends, what will be the next detonation point? A breakthrough in the Bitcoin ecosystem, or a new way to play SOL? The future is uncertain, but the trend has already quietly laid the groundwork. All we need to do is wait for the flowers to bloom. #BTC创历史最大月度涨幅
