My friend recently vented to me, and it really hit me—making money in the crypto world is becoming increasingly difficult.



Just look at the performance of these mainstream coins. #加密生态动态追踪 experienced fluctuations at the beginning of the year, and although the fundamentals haven't collapsed, the trading space has been severely compressed. $BTC is similar; although the ecosystem is still developing, relying on short-term volatility to profit is becoming more and more challenging. Even $SOL, which has a lot of buzz, hasn't provided obvious profit opportunities.

The market is filled with various analyses and predictions, but fewer and fewer people can truly seize the opportunities. On one hand, with more participants and institutional funds entering, retail investors' advantages have basically disappeared; on the other hand, the randomness of the market has increased, making it much harder to profit through technical analysis and common sense.

At this stage of the crypto market, instead of complaining about how hard it is to make money, it's better to seriously review whether your strategy needs adjustment.
BTC0,18%
ETH-0,94%
SOL1,87%

Retail investors are indeed finding it increasingly difficult; once institutions arrive, they become their cash machines.

Brothers are right, I have been adjusting my strategy this year... Really, it's not a problem with the coin, it's time to change my mindset.

Retail investors are dead; lying flat is the most comfortable.

Retail investors should have recognized the reality long ago; once institutions enter the market, it's no longer our concern.

Oh my god, isn't this talking about me... Watching the numbers in my account shrink every day, I really want to curse out loud.

Retail investors are really getting more competitive; now entering the market basically means being cut off.

Retail investors have really been phased out by the times; now it's institutions playing the game, and we're just along for the ride.

Wake up, everyone. Those still making money through swing trading should really reflect on this. The era of retail investors is truly over, and this must be acknowledged. This market is just filtering out participants; some people should exit now.
