In the ever-changing world of Crypto Assets, there is a crucial principle: every significant wealth opportunity is unique and cannot be replicated. This phenomenon is reflected in various fields of Crypto Assets.



Early participants often enjoy substantial returns, while later entrants may become exit channels for the former. This has been validated in various popular areas such as airdrops, inscriptions, AI tokens, and meme coins.

Taking airdrops as an example, from 2020 to 2023, users who participated in airdrops for projects like DYDX, ARB, ENS, OP, and STRK gained life-changing wealth, with some even becoming millionaires. However, users who joined later faced higher thresholds and stricter screenings, and sometimes even encountered the so-called "reverse mining," wasting time and gas fees.

The same is true for inscriptions. At the beginning of 2023, projects like ORDI and SATS brought amazing returns to early participants, with some turning thousands of USDT into millions. However, by the end of 2023, most of those who chased inscriptions or bought on centralized exchanges suffered heavy losses.

The story of AI tokens and meme coins is similar. Initially regarded as scams, AI tokens like WLD, FET, and ARKM brought returns of 10 to 30 times for early investors. However, by the time retail investors flooded in, the market had already peaked, and many have yet to recover their costs. In the meme coin craze of 2024, early projects like PEPE, BOME, WIF, and PNUT provided investors with returns of 100 to 1000 times, but most new meme coins that appeared afterward struggled to break through a market cap of 100 million, with some even disappearing immediately after launch.

These examples tell us that opportunities in the Crypto Assets market are often one-time occurrences. Once missed, they are difficult to replicate. Interestingly, when new opportunities arise, experienced players who have gone through bear markets may hesitate. In contrast, new players without "bear market scars" find it easier to invest without hesitation, as they do not carry the psychological burden of price anchoring, ultimately reaping substantial rewards.

In this rapidly changing market, it is crucial to stay vigilant, act quickly, and make rational judgments. While past opportunities cannot be replicated, new ones are constantly emerging. The key is to find a balance between risk and reward and always remember the ruthless law of the market: opportunities are fleeting.

Buying the dip is not as good as buying people. In a bull run, you look at coins; in a bear market, you look at people. This is truly a bloody lesson.
