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 market has a 4-year cycle. If you are a complete novice who knows nothing about blockchain concepts, it takes two cycles to truly "graduate," 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: mastering DeFi, NFT, GameFi, MEME, inscriptions, symbols, new coin listings and arbitrage.
• Doing primary: research and investment, participating in early project investments, looking for new tracks and narratives.
• Farming: account management, Odyssey, airdrop farming, multi-account strategies, anti-witch tactics.
• Playing arbitrage: price differences between markets, cross-platform arbitrage, dex-cex arbitrage, Pendle market arbitrage.
• Arbitrage: OTC, cross-border, cross-platform price difference trading.
In the first 4 years, you should be in a stage of rapidly accumulating funds. At this time, 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 improving skills through practical experience, and completing the accumulation of initial capital.
By the second 4 years, with funds and experience, your role should transition from speculator to investor.
• Focus on long-term trends and invest in potential cryptocurrencies.
• Understand cyclical rotation and grasp the rhythm of bull and bear markets.
• Even participate in project construction.
In the end, these 8 years are a form of practice, not just the growth of wealth but also a leap in cognition. After graduation, you will no longer worry 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; do you believe you will reach graduation day?
