The author observes two types of people who truly make money in Web3: one type is the "long-termists" who hold major cryptocurrencies for the long term and adhere to their beliefs, while the other type is the "sharp investors" who capture information asymmetries and invest in early projects. They also remind everyone to be wary of the risks of short-term speculation and high leverage, emphasizing that rationality and a long-term perspective are key to navigating cycles.
"In Web3, there are only two types of people who truly make money, which is the conclusion I've drawn from observing many friends around me. One type is the 'long-termists' who firmly hold major cryptocurrencies, and the other is the 'investors' who capture information asymmetries and participate in early projects. So, how do they operate? Today, I will share with you.
The first type: Long-termists
First, long-termists believe that Web3 and blockchain technology are the future direction. Out of this belief, they decide to hold major cryptocurrencies for the long term, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. For these individuals, investing is not about seeking quick success; they choose stable assets, invest regularly, gradually increase their holdings, and do not care about short-term price fluctuations. Their strategy is simple: hold for the long term, believing that value will naturally manifest over time.
One of my friends, Lao Su, is like this. He started regularly purchasing Bitcoin a few years ago, and despite the price ups and downs over the years, his overall returns have been quite substantial.
The second type: Sharp "investors"
Next is the second type of people, whom I call "investors." These individuals value the speed of innovation in Web3 and the abundance of early project opportunities. They are willing to spend a lot of time learning and researching industry dynamics, tracking the latest projects, and using their knowledge and judgment, combined with information asymmetries, to discover quality projects and invest small amounts of money in the early stages. They know that not every project will succeed, but finding one excellent early project is enough to reward their efforts.
Kris is like this; he spends several hours each day studying industry news and analyzing the prospects of various projects, identifying some quality projects in their launch phase and participating with a small amount of capital. Ultimately, due to his accurate judgment, these early projects have brought him good returns. Their core is knowledge reserves + information capture ability, adept at using information asymmetries to find potentially promising projects and patiently waiting for returns.
Lessons and warnings: The risks of short-term speculation and high leverage
In addition, there are some speculators in Web3 attempting to achieve short-term high returns. They gain short-term profits through high-leverage contracts or a chance opportunity, but this strategy rarely sustains and will ultimately return to the market. Such stories are common. Therefore, short-term gains are not the core of Web3; rather, they are the result of long-term accumulation and rational investment.
"So, among these two types of people, which strategy do you resonate with more? Or do you have your own strategy? Feel free to let me know in the comments."
