The cryptocurrency world is like a university, but it is not a 4-year program; it is an 8-year program.

As we all know, the cryptocurrency world has a cycle of 4 years. If you are a complete novice and do not understand the concept of blockchain at all, 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, short-term speculation, spot, contracts, leverage, options.

• Playing on-chain: navigating DeFi, NFT, GameFi, MEME, inscriptions, symbols, new coin listings and arbitrage.

• Doing primary market: research and investment, participating in early-stage investments in projects, finding new tracks and narratives.

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

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

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

In the first 4 years, you should be in a phase of rapidly accumulating capital. At this time, your goals are survival, learning, and optimizing strategies. Those starting from scratch or with very little capital can try high-frequency trading or farming, continuously improving skills through practical experience to accumulate initial capital.

Once you enter the second 4 years, with capital and experience, your role should shift from speculator to investor.

• Focus on long-term trends and position potential cryptocurrencies.

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

• Even participate in project development.

In the end, these 8 years are a form of cultivation; it is not just about wealth growth, but also about cognitive leaps. After graduation, you will no longer be anxious about wealth, but will truly be free to choose the life you want to live.

In the university of the cryptocurrency world, there are no diplomas, only results. Everyone's progress bar is different; do you believe you will reach graduation day?
