The crypto world is a university, but it is not a 4-year program; it is an 8-year program.
As we all know, the crypto world has a 4-year cycle.
If you are a complete novice and do not understand the concept of blockchain at all,
you can only truly 'graduate' after going through two cycles, that is, achieving freedom.
Entering this university, the first step 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 listing arbitrage...
• Doing primary: research and investment, participating in early-stage project investments, seeking new tracks and narratives.
• Farming: account farming, Odyssey, airdrop farming, multi-account strategies, anti-witch...
• Playing arbitrage: inter-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 be in the stage of rapidly accumulating funds.
At 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 farming, constantly improving skills through practical experience and completing the accumulation of initial capital.
When the second 4 years come, with capital and experience, your role should shift from speculator to investor.
• Focus on long-term trends, layout potential currencies.
• Understand cycle rotation, grasp the rhythm of bull and bear markets.
• Even participate in project construction.
Ultimately, these 8 years are a form of practice, not only for the growth of wealth but also for the 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 crypto, there are no diplomas, only results. Everyone's progress bar is different; can you persist until the day of 'graduation'?
