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 operates in 4-year cycles.

If you are a complete novice who doesn't understand the concept of blockchain at all,

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

The first step in entering this university is to choose your major:

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

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

• Primary market: research investment, participate in early-stage project investments, seek new tracks and narratives.

• Earning airdrops: account farming, Odyssey, airdrop farming, multi-account strategies, witch protection...

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

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

In the first 4 years, you should focus on the rapid accumulation of capital.

During 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 earning airdrops, continually improving skills through practical experience, and accumulating initial capital.

By 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 bull-bear rhythm.

• Even participate in project construction.

Ultimately, these 8 years are a form of cultivation; it's not just about wealth growth, but also a leap in cognition. After graduation, you will no longer be anxious about wealth but can truly choose the life you want to live.

In the university of cryptocurrency, there are no diplomas, only results. Everyone's progress bar is different; can you persist until the day of 'graduation'?
