Here's the harsh truth: making quick money trading BTC and ETH? That ship has sailed. Institutional players have fundamentally changed the game. The volatility that once created overnight millionaires has been smoothed out by massive capital flows and sophisticated algorithms. So what's the move now? The real opportunities might not be where everyone's looking. Maybe it's time to rethink the entire playbook.

BTC-6.39%

ETH-9.05%

It should have been realized earlier that the era of retail investors buying the dip is indeed over; the algorithms have already consumed all the arbitrage opportunities.

The era of retail investors is indeed over, now it's all big institutions playing heartbeat. --- Contracts, algorithms, market makers... how can there still be people hoping to turn things around through short-term trades? --- To be honest, the people making money now are not even trading BTC; you all have missed the point. --- After institutional money came in, the playstyle changed, and the Fluctuation was smoothed out, making it even harder to make quick money... --- Rather than getting tangled up in how to trade, it’s better to think about what ecosystem you can participate in. --- No volatility means no opportunity; that sounds a bit absolute. --- So what do you all say is the "correct posture"? Seeking the truth.

I said it a long time ago, do retail investors think they can get rich overnight by trading? Heh, dreaming. How could institutions possibly let us make money? The rules of the game have long been changed. Rather than pondering new opportunities, it's better to think about how to survive. So where do we go from here? Anyway, it's definitely not on the trading side.
