The cryptocurrency world is like a university, but it's not a 4-year program; it's an 8-year program.
As we all know, the cryptocurrency world has a 4-year cycle.
If you are a complete novice and have no understanding of blockchain concepts,
you can only truly "graduate" after experiencing two cycles, which means achieving freedom.
The first step in entering this university is to choose a major.
• Trading: high-frequency, intraday, trend, short-term speculation, spot, contracts, leverage, options...
• Playing on-chain: navigating DeFi, NFT, GameFi, MEME, inscriptions, runes, new coin listings...
• Doing first-tier: investment research, participating in early project investments, looking for new tracks, new narratives.
• Farming: account nurturing, Odyssey, airdrop farming, multi-account strategies, anti-witch...
• Arbitrage: market price differences, cross-platform arbitrage, dex-cex arbitrage, Pendle market arbitrage...
• Brick moving: OTC, cross-border, cross-platform price difference trading.
In the first 4 years, you should focus on rapidly accumulating funds.
At this stage, your goal is survival, learning, and optimizing strategies.
Those starting from scratch or with very little capital can try high-frequency trading or farming, continuously enhancing skills through practice, and accumulating initial capital.
Once you reach the second 4 years with funds and experience, your role should shift from speculator to investor.
• Focus on long-term trends and position yourself in promising coins.
• 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 journey of self-cultivation; it’s not just about wealth growth but also cognitive leaps. After graduation, you will no longer be anxious about wealth; instead, you will be able to choose the life you want to live freely.
In the university of the cryptocurrency world, there are no diplomas, only results. Everyone's progress bar is different; can you persist until the day of "graduation"?
