The crypto world is like a university, but it’s not a four-year program; it’s an eight-year program.

As we all know, the crypto world has a four-year cycle.

If you are a complete novice who knows nothing about blockchain concepts,

You can only truly 'graduate' after experiencing two cycles, which means achieving freedom.

Entering this university, the first step is to choose a major.

• Trading: high-frequency, intraday, trend, short-term speculation, spot, contracts, leverage, options...

• Playing on-chain: mastering DeFi, NFT, GameFi, MEME, inscriptions, runes, arbitrage for new coin listings...

• Doing primary: research and investment, early participation in projects, seeking new tracks and narratives.

• Farming: account nurturing, Odyssey, airdrop farming, multi-account strategies, anti-witch measures...

• Playing arbitrage: price differences between markets, cross-platform arbitrage, dex-cex arbitrage, Pendle market arbitrage...

• Arbitrage: OTC, cross-border, cross-platform price difference trading.

In the first four years, you should be in a stage of rapidly accumulating funds.

At this time, your goals are survival, learning, and optimizing strategies.

If you are starting from scratch or have very little capital, you can try high-frequency trading or farming, constantly improving your skills through practice and accumulating initial capital.

By the second four years, with funds and experience, your role should shift from speculator to investor.

• Focus on long-term trends and invest in promising coins.

• Understand cycle rotation and grasp the rhythm of bull and bear markets.

• Even participate in project development.

Ultimately, these eight years are a journey of cultivation, not just an increase in wealth, but also a leap in understanding. After graduation, you will no longer be anxious about wealth; instead, you will be able to truly choose the life you want to live.

The university of the crypto world does not offer diplomas, only results. Everyone’s progress is different; can you stick it out until the day you 'graduate'?
