The crypto world is once again flooded with a story today: $800 turns into $320,000 in 3 hours. Sounds crazy and unbelievable, right?



Here's how the story goes. This morning, a hot event sparked attention, and immediately someone launched a token with the same name on the chain. An address invested $869 when the market cap was only $400,000. Not long after, this token's market cap skyrocketed from $2 million to $19 million, and the investor's principal instantly turned into $320,000.

Thrilling? Extremely thrilling. But dare to follow the trend?

You need to understand what happened at the same time — 99.9% of similar tokens go to zero. Why did that person dare to heavily invest? There are only two possibilities: either they had insider information or they were gambling with their life. Ordinary retail investors blindly follow the trend, and in the end, most become just part of someone else's wealth explosion story.

The more time I spend in the crypto space, the clearer one thing becomes: not losing money is itself a form of earning, and steady growth is the true king. Instead of chasing hot trends every day, focusing on which hot spot or which influencer has shifted something, it's better to find a wealth foundation that allows you to sleep peacefully.

That's also why I now allocate about 80% of my funds into audited, stable protocols — not gambling on extremely low-probability get-rich-quick schemes, but taking a different approach: depositing USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins, letting smart contracts help you grow steadily. It may not sound as sexy, but compared to the 99.9% zeroing rate of meme coins, this stable income is especially valuable.

Get-rich stories are alluring, but surviving and fully exiting the crypto space has never been achieved through gambling.

If only I had entered the market earlier, then the 320,000 should have been mine...

Exactly right, these kinds of stories are like poison; watching them once makes you crave more.

It's the same old story, saying nice things but only those who truly make money keep a low profile and get rich quietly.

It's another one of those "luck stories," where the sudden wealth from gambling can't be replicated at all. --- Basically, it's insider trading, with retail investors just being the bagholders. --- Stable returns are really attractive, no need to have your mood explode every day. --- Why don't the 99.9% who went to zero come out and tell their stories? Haha. --- I've long given up chasing trends; now I just hold stablecoins and sleep peacefully. --- These kinds of articles come out every week, just changing the coin name to keep cutting. --- Surviving > getting rich overnight, that's the only truth I've learned in the crypto world.

It's the same old story, I'm tired of hearing it. You never mention that 0.1% when 99.9% resets to zero.

Basically, it's survivor bias. What about the 99.9% of people? No one tells their story.

It's the same old story, hearing it so many times that my ears are getting calloused. Talking about stable protocol again, is it real or fake? 32 million sounds great, but I bet this guy already ran away. I think I heard this story last year, just with a different coin name. The zeroing rate of land dogs is indeed terrifying, but the returns on stablecoins are really quite disappointing. If there's insider information, it's insider info; if not, you're just a gambler. Do I need to say more? I just want to ask, who was taking over when the market cap was 1900 million? Stable protocol sounds just like the tone of a grandma's finance forum. Those who understand get it, and those who don't, no matter what you say, it's useless. Making money and surviving while walking away unscathed depends on the trading counterpart.

It's the same old spiel, I'm tired of hearing it. Nice words are just afterthoughts.
