Having been involved in crypto investing for 12 years, I have to say something that might hit close to home. Recently, this wave of market hype has been extremely hot, but many people have it wrong — this is not a true bull market signal.
The Federal Reserve's policy shift this time is essentially a passive response driven by economic pressure, not genuine easing. It's like being forced to take medicine when you're sick; it doesn't mean you're fully recovered. Two details in the meeting minutes stand out: internal opposition votes hit a new high, indicating the policy could sway at any moment; and inflation issues are far from resolved, especially with the sticky inflation in the service sector, still a long way from the 2% target.
Looking at the crypto world, the problems are even more obvious. Many small coins rely on the story of "liquidity injection" to hype up, but once expectations reverse, the decline can be so fast you won't have time to react. You think you can buy the dip, but end up getting crushed instead.
My current strategy is simple: focus only on core assets with genuine capital inflows and real ecosystem development, strictly control positions, and never chase highs. The crazier the market, the more calm I stay. Finally, ask yourself: is this Fed move giving us an opportunity, or paving the way for the next round of harvesting? Investing isn't about courage; it's about how long you can survive.

12 years of experience boils down to two words—it's a once-in-a-lifetime sight. Many people have indeed been brainwashed by the story of "liquidity injection." Playing hard with small coins is really exciting, but the flip side is getting cut. I only realized this after being hammered down—trying to bottom fish can't be too greedy.

Really, many people were killed by the story this time. The narrative of "liquidity injection" for small-cap coins is just a trap.

That's right, I've seen too many people fooled by the story of "watering" and thinking that a pie will fall from the sky. The fact that the opposition votes hit a new high is usually unnoticed by retail investors, but what does this exactly indicate? There is no consensus on the policy at all, and the probability of wavering is too high.

It's true, but the problem is that 99% of people won't listen and will still chase after those scam coins... Few will actually make it to the next cycle.

Wow, this time it's really going to dump. Don't be fooled by the stories of those small coins. Wake up, everyone.

Still talking about this after 12 years? You should have taken the advice long ago. That routine of small coins harvesting retail investors is really annoying. How many times do I have to say that chasing highs will definitely lead to death before people believe it... Position control is the real key.

12 years... This guy is so straightforward. The part about bottom-fishing hit me hard; so many people got pushed in just like that.

If it's 12 years, then it should have experienced the 2017 wave. This time, the feeling is indeed different. I noticed that the opposition votes hit a new high; with such a large policy swing space, the confidence is not as strong as imagined.
