In 2021, everyone dared to shout about 100x or even 1000x returns—after all, dreaming isn't illegal.
By 2024, a turning point appeared, and even aiming for tenfold gains seemed a bit unrealistic.
By 2025, the situation became even more subtle—being able to claim three or five times gains was already considered good, and the key was to add "please don't lose everything" afterward.
What is the new trend now? Some are starting to celebrate that "as long as it doesn't go to zero, it's a win," and the applause below is particularly enthusiastic.
Honestly, from the bold words of "moon landing" to the current self-acceptance of "just preserving the principal," it's less about progress and more about being repeatedly educated by the market.

Haha, this is reality. As long as you don't lose money from the hundredfold dream, the market is indeed the best teacher.

Haha, really. Just go from the hundredfold dream to capital preservation, and that's enough. This curve is amazing.

Oh wow, it's only been a few years. From the dream of a thousand times to just breaking even, reality really slapped us in the face.

Haha, really, after being repeatedly cut for the past few years, I now have to applaud whenever I hear "not resetting to zero means profit."
