In the online exchange on Saturday, I shared a viewpoint with everyone:

Currently, we don't need to worry too much about the market, but rather focus on our livelihood.

The continuous decline in the market recently has shattered the psychological bottom line of many investors. It is estimated that many investors never expected Bitcoin to drop below $60,000 again, or Ethereum to drop below $3,000 again.

In my opinion, the short-term decline of Bitcoin and Ethereum is nothing to worry about, because I still have firm confidence in their future from a long-term perspective. So as long as most of our positions are in these two coins, we can completely calmly view this short-term market crash. I firmly believe that they will eventually reach new highs in the near future.

What I believe is truly worth our attention as ordinary people is the changes that may occur in the environment we live in over the next year (until 2025) or even three years (until 2027), and whether we as ordinary people can protect our assets and maintain our livelihoods in these changes.

If we pay a little attention to various data and observe the changes around us, we should be able to feel that the overall environment is becoming increasingly harsh.

In the exchange on Saturday, I mentioned:

It is probably difficult for the environment we currently live in to see significant improvements by the end of 2025. In such an environment, how many companies can survive for another year and a half? If companies that are heavily involved in internal competition find it difficult to sustain, so-called "iron rice bowl" government agencies will definitely be affected as well.

Therefore, among our readers, anyone who still needs to earn a salary will be more or less affected.

Therefore, I once again mentioned the sentence that I have emphasized many times before: Always have enough funds to support yourself for 18 months.

In the subsequent Q&A session, the experience of a friend who joined the call made me very emotional.

This friend's emotions sounded somewhat low.

He has a small position in Bitcoin and Ethereum, and has heavily invested in other projects.

The reason he did not focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum is because he felt that the gains from these two coins were too small.

During the exchange, this friend repeatedly emphasized that he was very afraid of missing opportunities.

He also mentioned an experience where he put all his accumulated profits into a speculative operation, which I considered to be quite risky.

What is even more unsettling is that this friend unfortunately encountered a layoff.

I have had some of the same mentality and experiences as this friend in the past.

For example, being afraid of missing opportunities, which makes it easy to be indecisive.

I still want to say: There is no need to worry about missing opportunities. At least in the crypto ecosystem, as long as you can hold your ground, live tenaciously, constantly improve yourself, there will definitely be opportunities.

On the contrary, this fear of missing opportunities can easily lead investors astray—the most typical example is mistaking a trap for an opportunity, and then heavily investing, ultimately squandering previous gains.

I believe this friend is still very young and will have opportunities in the future.

For example, thinking that the gains of Bitcoin and Ethereum are not large enough.

The gains of many altcoins are indeed much greater than those of Bitcoin and Ethereum, but in reality, friends who have participated should have experienced that the number of investors who can truly capture the skyrocketing gains of altcoins is very few, and most participants end up as cannon fodder.

In my experience, when investors focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum, their mentality changes, becoming more stable, rational, and better able to handle various challenges and risks, while also having the courage and confidence to participate in various high-risk projects. At that time, they will not worry about missing opportunities.

What is most worrying about this friend is the unfortunate encounter with a layoff.

In the current environment, anyone who encounters such an incident will face considerable challenges in finding a job that matches their abilities, education, and salary expectations in the short term. They will likely have to face more pressure from life and society. If they do not handle this pressure well, it will be impossible to have a good mentality and emotions to achieve success in other areas (including the crypto ecosystem).

I suggest that this friend temporarily put aside the crypto ecosystem, withdraw some funds back to reality, first ensure that they and their family can maintain a stable life in the coming period, then quickly find a job to ensure their and their family's livelihood, and after handling these matters, if they still have the capacity, they can return to the crypto ecosystem to continue exploring.

This friend's experience may seem like someone else's story today, but it is very likely that it will happen more and more to you, me, and others in the future.

Compared to the pressure of livelihood, the fluctuations in the crypto market are not a big deal at all.

I hope that every one of our readers can be prepared for the challenges and risks they may face in the future.
