A friend in the comments section asked what coins to buy. Have you heard the story of the foolish old man who moved mountains? It's about that old man who would rather move a big mountain himself than move to a new home. Moving mountains is surely easier than moving houses, at least you don't have to worry about packing, finding a moving company, or even worrying about sudden price increases from the moving company. But, upon reflection, the foolish old man is actually the one who needs to move the most in this world. If you remember this story, the old man didn't gather his family for a meeting until he was 90 years old to say: 'We need to move that mountain at the door; it’s just too inconvenient to go out.' I can't help but wonder what he was doing all those years until he was 90 to suddenly realize there was a mountain at his doorstep? Had he never gone outside? The phrase 'to open the door and see the mountain' seems tailor-made for his family! I guess he must have been too busy enjoying life when he was young, wasting time until he was 90, and suddenly felt it was about time to do something. So, he had a bright idea and decided to start a big project - to move the mountain at the door. Anyway, he wouldn't live much longer, so he might as well get the family involved and make it an ultimate challenge.
Speaking of the rationale for the project, the foolish old man was truly imaginative. His reasoning was that 'the mountain won't grow taller' and 'we have infinite descendants.' This means that as long as their family keeps moving the mountain every year, one day they will be able to move it. Moving every year! I can't help but think that the people in the old man's family must have been internally devastated upon hearing this plan. They must have silently thought to themselves: 'Once this old man passes away, we can move to a big city, a place with convenient transportation, and find a moving company to make it easy.' This is just too stimulating; having to participate in moving the mountain every year, they must not want to stay in that house anymore. This feudal-style patriarch is truly scary, thinking that he alone can determine the fate of the entire family. If he can do that, every future generation would have to move the mountain, with nothing else to do. Just imagine, who would want to marry into their family? What would the matchmaker say? 'What does your family do? Move mountains!' Then why would I want to marry into it? Every generation has to follow along to move the mountain, it’s more exhausting than risking one’s life!
However, even though this story ultimately gives us a 'happy ending,' with the gods sending heavenly soldiers to help the foolish old man move the mountain, I still find it hard to understand why the heavenly soldiers didn't just move the old man directly? Moving a mountain is much easier than moving a person, right? Moreover, if the mountain were moved to another place, what if a new foolish old man appeared? It doesn't solve the problem at all; it just changes the location. If you really want to cure the root issue, you should move the foolish old man directly instead of moving the mountain. Doesn't this resemble the cryptocurrency market? If you solve the problem of price volatility, does that eliminate market uncertainty? If you move a mountain, does that mean you can avoid new mountains from growing again? In fact, to truly solve the problem, it is not just about constant relocation and shifting, but fundamentally understanding and responding to the mechanisms behind it.
So, if you want to succeed in the cryptocurrency market, remember two points: First, do not blindly follow the trend of investing in projects that have no long-term value. Those things that look like 'new mountains' may not be worth your time and effort. Second, the market's volatility is as unavoidable as that mountain, but smart investors know that only by finding truly promising projects will they not be troubled by the dilemma of 'moving mountains.' Therefore, when buying cryptocurrencies, you should not only look at the popularity but also consider the value behind the project and its future development potential.#项目避坑
