2025 Market Review

BTC soared from $80K to $126K, then fell back to $95K. It looks spectacular, but who actually made money? Very few. Most people only gained about 10% profit during this market cycle, and many are still "studying trading systems."

The story of meme coins is completely different. Sharp traders seized 100x level opportunities. When BTC was at $87K, they decisively shorted, acting quickly and making bold decisions — this is the gap in execution. In the same market environment and with the same information channels, why are the results so vastly different? It's not about luck; the core lies in the efficiency of strategy execution and timing. Those who built "intergenerational wealth" this year, and those still talking on paper, the difference is so obvious.

BTC-5,46%

The group studying trading systems is probably still looking at candlestick charts, haha --- 100x? That's someone else's story. I'm still fishing in the 10% happiness --- Easier said than done, brother --- Those who truly make money probably wouldn't post this kind of message --- People shorting $87K should be on vacation in Moldova now --- Feels like everyone is right, but I still don't know what to do next --- Intergenerational wealth, that term is a bit harsh --- Among those who talk about theory on paper, I definitely am one of them --- Why do I always feel like I missed the best opportunity --- 10% returns are already a high achievement, so satisfied

No matter how crazy the market is, it’s useless without execution. Profiters never talk about systems, just do it. Honestly, a 100x opportunity is always reserved for those willing to gamble. What does a 10% return mean? Most people haven't even realized it. Those who shorted that wave must be laughing their heads off now. A year of armchair strategizing is nothing compared to a ruthless person’s month. The gap is in that split-second decision; being 0.1 seconds slow means losing. The story around meme coins is indeed outrageous, but this is the crypto market. With the same information, execution determines everything. Some people are just naturally good at trading.

The group studying trading systems is still researching, I went bankrupt a long time ago haha A 100x dream, 10% reality, what a gap... Execution is indeed tough, but it seems like I’ve been using my execution skills to lose money With the same information, others earn 100x, I earn a negative return, now that’s a huge difference Talking about theory on paper is really just talk, I’ve already seen through those who only talk without practice Whose "intergenerational wealth" is that? My intergenerational debt is actually increasing Catching opportunities? I only catch traps, haha No problem with strategy execution, but the problem is that my strategy itself is money-burning Timing is easy to talk about, but I totally chose the wrong moments

Hmm... That's right, it's all about execution. I see many people studying candlestick charts every day, but they still end up missing out. Speaking of which, where's the easy opportunity to catch a 100x meme coin? You need to have a really strong heart. A 10% return is also pretty good, at least you're not losing money. True generational wealth? I'm too timid, I don't dare to gamble.

Honestly, a 10% return is just a little smile; most people don't even get that. Research trading systems? Bro, that's just another name for procrastination. The story of 100x meme coins sounds exciting, but how many actually dare to do it in the $87K space? There's no denying that execution is indeed the dividing line for making money, but when it comes to probability... luck isn't that low. The term "intergenerational wealth" is a bit harsh; most likely, it'll return to the starting point next year. Feels like you're advertising for those who are shorting, huh?
