The cryptocurrency 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 space has a four-year cycle. If you’re a complete novice and have no understanding of blockchain concepts, it takes two cycles to truly "graduate," which means achieving freedom.
The first step in entering this university 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, and new coin listings for arbitrage.
• Engaging in primary: research and investment, participating in early-stage investments in projects, seeking new tracks and narratives.
• Collecting benefits: account farming, Odyssey, collecting airdrops, multi-account strategies, and defending against witches.
• Arbitrage: market price differences, cross-platform arbitrage, dex-cex arbitrage, and Pendle market arbitrage.
• Arbitrage trading: OTC, cross-border, and cross-platform price difference trading.
In the first four years, you should focus on rapidly accumulating capital. Your goal during this time is survival, learning, and optimizing strategies. Those starting from scratch or with very little capital can try high-frequency trading or collecting benefits, continuously improving skills through practical experience to accumulate initial capital.
When the second four years arrive, with capital and experience, your role should shift from speculator to investor.
• Focus on long-term trends and position in promising cryptocurrencies.
• Understand the cycle rotation and grasp the bull-bear rhythm.
• Even participate in project development.
Ultimately, these eight years are a form of practice; it’s not just about wealth accumulation, but also about cognitive evolution. After graduation, you will no longer be anxious about wealth, but will be able to freely choose the life you want to live.
In the university of the crypto world, there are no diplomas, only results. Everyone’s progress is different. Do you believe you will reach graduation day?
