#美联储重启降息步伐 What does it take to survive in the crypto world? Two words: tough it out.
Look at those players who really make a killing—aren’t they all masters at “playing dead”?
Why do all the big names in the space like to call themselves “crocodiles”? Have you ever thought about it?
Tigers look impressive, but they’re actually dumb. For a single meal, they chase all over the savanna, panting and out of breath. If they’re unlucky, they come up empty, and if they run into tough prey, they get kicked. They work themselves to death, and their results are still inconsistent.
Isn’t this just like those people glued to the charts, trading constantly? Leveraging 10x on futures, scalping spot trades, paying a ton in fees, getting stressed out, and ending up right where they started. All that work for nothing.
Crocodiles? They’re smart.
They’re cold-blooded and naturally patient. They know prey has to come drink water, so they just soak in the water, looking like a rock, barely moving all day. Hungry? They endure. Tired? Doesn’t exist—they barely move.
When the antelope lowers its head—snap! One bite, dragged into the water. Clean, efficient, zero risk.
Trading works the same way.
Don’t always expect to make money every day—that’s a fantasy. Most people lose because they’re too “motivated”—when the market’s flat, their hands get itchy, poking and fiddling around, making pointless moves.
The real veterans? They’re all crocodile types.
Bear market? Lie low. Choppy market? Keep lying low. Watching altcoins pump one after another and feeling jealous? Don’t lose your head—it’s all bait.
Just keep your eyes on those core assets, like a crocodile guarding its pond. When the real bull market comes, when outside money floods in and the opportunity is clear, that’s when you strike.
Eat your fill in one go, cash out, and then go back to whatever you were doing.
In investing, it’s never about speed—it’s about staying power.
Don’t copy those beasts frantically running around. If you want to learn, learn from the old crocodile in the water—those who can stand the boredom are the ones who get the fattest rewards.
To put it bluntly, in the crypto world, just surviving is a skill.

Waiting is the best move.

Even if you can't endure it, you still have to.
