Recently, the circle has started to stir again, with some people tirelessly asking a final question: "Which coin can increase tenfold? Where is the next hundredfold opportunity?"

This question is old and well-worn, but the mindset behind it is worth discussing.

The head of a major exchange recently straightforwardly said something that sounds simple but actually hits many people's soft spots. His main point was: Want to know which coin has potential? It's simple—look at where I, the leader, am spending my time—what I focus on is the future opportunity.

At first glance, this seems to hint at some insider information. But think about it carefully—the logic is actually very brutal.

If there really were some divine coins that could make you money just by buying blindly, and big players holding hundreds of billions of dollars, why would they be shouting everywhere? Wouldn't they just secretly accumulate and wait to count their money? The problem is, such brainless money-making opportunities simply don't exist. The probability of overnight riches is frighteningly low. That’s why they keep advising you not to mess around blindly.

Let’s consider it from a different perspective.

It’s like fishing. Beginners see fish jumping out of the water and splashing, and immediately get excited, throwing all their bait in hopes of becoming fat overnight. But experienced anglers know—those splashes are just surface tricks; the real big fish are in the deep water, requiring patience to bait and long-term waiting.

The current situation in the crypto world is just like this.

Everyone is watching the explosive rises of Meme coins and various low-quality tokens, thinking that if they buy the right one this time, they’ll make a fortune. They imagine themselves as the lucky one who stands out from thousands. But the opportunities for excess returns are usually hidden outside of what’s visible—those unremarkable infrastructure projects, overlooked tracks, and long-neglected technological accumulations.

Why has a top exchange been able to reach today’s position? Not by speculating on air coins for quick money, but by building underlying infrastructure, maintaining system security, and optimizing trading experience day after day. These are slow processes, not glamorous, but they determine long-term competitiveness.

That’s the difference.

Next time you hear about so-called "insider information" or "wealth secrets," take a moment to think for three seconds: Is that person spending their energy deeply researching project whitepapers, or just busy figuring out how to shake out retail investors? This difference determines whether you are learning or being taught.

To be realistic: slow is fast. In this market full of temptations, protecting your principal and avoiding being exploited is more valuable than any dream of quick riches. Those missed opportunities are often the reasons you survive.
