The most common fatal mistake in current investing is viewing a particular asset in isolation.



Think about it—cryptocurrencies, fintech, traditional stocks, their competitive frameworks are converging. You might have thought before that Bitcoin and Apple stocks had little in common, but now? Institutional investors are allocating all of these within the same capital pool.

This changes everything. Because value has never been an absolute thing. It only exists in comparison.

How much an asset is worth depends on what you compare it to. If you only look at the price of the coin itself, or only at the P/E ratio, you'll miss the bigger picture. You need to consider the relative relationships between these assets—their yields, risks, liquidity, and the roles they play within the broader macro context.

So, the true investment logic has changed: it's no longer "Is this asset valuable?" but "Is this valuable compared to other options?" Those who adapt to this way of thinking first will gain the advantage.

Damn, someone finally said it. I've been doing this all along. Institutions are pairing in the same pool? Then retail investors are just wasting their time, doomed to be harvested. Relative value is the real deal; absolute value is all a scam.

Well... that's a good point. Relative return rate is indeed key. But honestly, most retail investors simply can't achieve this.

It's just relativity. The old-timers in the crypto circle are still obsessing over Bitcoin prices, while institutions have long been arbitraging in the global asset pools... Wake up.

Haha, now that's enlightenment. Finally someone has explained it thoroughly—way better than those retail investors who stare at the charts every day. I've been saying for a while that asset rotation is key. Now institutions are playing the relative return game, while retail investors are still sleepwalking. This logic is indeed crucial. I used to only look at the coin price, but now I realize I need to consider the entire capital ecosystem's seesaw. But in practice, it's still difficult. Who can truly achieve cross-asset comparison? It's quite challenging.

Oh my, you hit the nail on the head. I was dead just like that before... only watching the BTC price, completely missing its seesaw relationship with bond yields. Honestly, it's about learning to see relative value, or you'll always get cut. The institutions' move is really ruthless, mixing all asset pools together. If I had understood this idea earlier, I could have avoided so much loss. It’s heartbreaking.
