After the baptism of the recent "bear-bull market", I finally have time to learn and communicate everywhere. I found that the sickles have already banded together, fearing that they will be cut by a bigger sickle, but retail investors are still fighting on their own.

Therefore, this article wants to talk about retail investors’ survival strategies in the cryptocurrency circle in addition to recent operational suggestions.

1. Operation suggestions

Waiting for the wind to come Based on the previous article Ethereum ETF account opening, why hasn't the market started yet? Is Mentougou coming? The disk operation suggestion is very simple, maintain more than 80% of the position, do not chase the remaining position, patiently wait for the bottoming and Mentougou incident to ferment, and wait for the east wind.

2. The way to survive - learn to work together

The reason I say this is because I have recently been interacting with all kinds of people, from VC bosses and project managers to studios and individual retail investors.

What everyone has in common is that they all want to make money.

The big guys say it's about making money from the market in a glamorous and civilized way, but in fact it's just about cutting leeks.

Leeks also want to make money in the market, but not only can they not harvest the leeks, they also have to worry about being harvested.

The information resources between the two are seriously unequal, and the pattern is basically determined.

To make matters worse, the sickles I know of are banding together, while retail investors are still fighting on their own, and the fighting power of the two sides is once again seriously unbalanced!

Many project parties, investors, and KOLs respond at any time. One Google meeting will be a joint AMA next time.

Many studios want to do everything and make money from everything. They want to cover all the market sectors, from investment to industry research, from scalping to blockchain games to the second level. They want to have any business they want. When communicating with the outside world, they always want to get the wealth code of other studios, but they don’t communicate their own information honestly, don’t contribute to other peers, and want to take everything.

Many retail investors are like students who are about to take the college entrance examination. They throw smoke bombs to their friends every day and hide the superficial things they have learned, for fear that if they tell their friends around them, the market will reverse. They are afraid that if they give their wealth code to others, the market will immediately explode and they will be left empty-handed forever. They are afraid that their friends around them will make money. This has become the biggest stumbling block to happiness. They are always comparing with the people around them, as if the quantum entanglement between you two can determine the fate of the cryptocurrency circle. In the end, they have less and less money and their health is getting worse.


Retail investors, like ordinary people in all dynasties, are being exploited. Studios are bigger fish in the sea. They are all fuel for the bull market and human mines in the eyes of exploiters.

So, all that remains is the market’s “garbage time”.

But individuals have no garbage time. If we still want to survive in this Shura field and win more opportunities for ourselves to turn things around, as non-big guys, we must learn to work together.

3. How to form a group?

1) Find comrades

There are friends with coins on the road, and they can go forward together. They may be your friends, comrades-in-arms, classmates, or relatives. If you think this is a good road, let the people around you participate in it with you more or less. Someone will give you warmth on the road, and will give you more feedback because you are introducing them to the market. This feedback is mainly at the level of learning and cognition. Apprentices can also teach their masters a lot. If you have a group of comrades-in-arms, you don’t have to fight alone, do all the research by yourself, and handle all the market conditions by yourself.

2) Join the community

If your network is not wide enough, join a high-quality community and look for like-minded people in the network. And leave professional matters to professionals, and don't be stingy with the consulting and training fees, which are the tuition fees for your "business".

3) Backward compatibility

The reason why I admire many industry leaders is that they are at a higher level than me, and they have also tirelessly given me opportunities to learn and improve together. They may be kind and generous by nature, and they have a belief that if they help those who deserve it, maybe one day they can form a good relationship, develop business opportunities, or build their own brand.

4) Seek upward and achieve dimensional leap

Get to know more big shots through social networks, Twitter or conferences. Most of these big shots will give you their contact information, but few will pay much attention to you. The main reason is that you may not be good enough to make the other party need to communicate, so many people say that socializing is useless, it is better to be yourself. When you bloom, butterflies will come. This is actually a small extreme. If you only socialize without a core, you will be looked down upon, unless you are thick-skinned. If you only practice but don’t socialize upward, you will take a lot of detours.

Confucius said, "Thinking without learning is dangerous, and learning without thinking is useless." This is probably the same principle.

While striving to grow upward, you should also actively interact with the outside world. Gradually, the two will promote each other, allowing you to become a better you and enter a new team that is more conducive to your own development, thereby forming a larger group.

Leeks, what else can we do besides this?
