Back in 2017, when I translated "Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technology" and officially entered the industry, I was confident that blockchain professionals would see results within 3 to 5 years, no matter how difficult the process was, I had to persevere.

Between 2020 and 2021, the opportunity truly arrived for the first time. During that period, I witnessed many projects go from zero to one.

Fast forward to 2025, another wave of market trends is brewing: first, the testing tokens of some emerging projects sparked a chasing frenzy in mainstream public chain communities, followed by major platforms launching new track tools. This opportunity seems more three-dimensional and diverse than the last one.

Persistence will eventually pay off; the key is to endure these waiting days.

Well, those who got in back in 2017 definitely have some skills. But I want to ask, among those who persisted during that time, how many haven't lost money?

Really, the people who read this book back then are probably all rich now. Anyway, I bought into that logic. Damn, the 2020 wave really went crazy, but unfortunately I didn't hold many coins. Wait, new track tools? Is this another scheme to cut leeks? Still, caution is necessary. When will these days of waiting end? I’m starting to feel overwhelmed. Persistence is easy to say but hard to do. Most people give up halfway. But on the other hand, it does feel a bit different now. This time, it might really be coming.

Started reading this book back in 2017, and it really gave me a reason to keep going haha This 2025 rhythm is indeed different, feels a bit more substantial than back in 2021 The hardest part is never prediction, but truly sticking to it and sitting tight in your chair

I went all in back in 2017, I really respect this guy's mindset.坚持这么多年确实不容易，不过现在看起来确实风向变了。 Compared to those exit scam projects last year, at least now there are some decent things. Those who have endured until now are true believers. Watching new coins launch every day, but most of them follow the same pattern. This guy has been through a round already, and this time he should be more selective. The days of waiting are the hardest, but looking at his record, it’s truly been worth the wait. Here we go again with FOMO, I really dislike this feeling.

Hanging in until 2025, you really were right, this wave definitely feels different Should have gone all in back in 2017, why wasn't I more decisive back then Here we go again, testing coins and celebrating wildly, history loves to repeat itself Tired of hearing about persistence, but the truth is, I just can't hold on anymore, brother Is this time really more promising than the last round? I still can't quite understand I missed the 2020 wave, I can't afford to slip up again this time By the way, are the new track tools reliable, or is it just another round of harvesting

After so many years, I finally see the dawn, but this time I need to be more cautious; the lessons from the last round are still fresh. --- That's right, persistence is not easy; many people gave up after 2021. --- Is the testing coin craze back? It feels like every round follows the same pattern, just with a different name. --- Since 2017, I've seen too many projects go from zero to zero, haha. --- The key is really perseverance; most people give up during that quiet period and withdraw completely. --- This opportunity is indeed different, but just avoid getting chopped up by the whales. --- Persistence is the right approach, as long as you don't go all in, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Really, all this time was just to wait for this wave. During the 2020 cycle, I watched helplessly as some people got in and others got out. This time, the rhythm definitely feels different. Speaking of which, does the 3 to 5-year judgment still hold now? It feels like the cycle has shortened. Since reading that translation book, just observing the rise and fall of projects could fill a book haha. Persistence isn't easy, but seeing so many new tracks to choose from, I still get a bit excited. I'm just worried it’s another passing trend; if the returns don’t come, I might get cut early. The multi-dimensional approach sounds good, but the indicators seem similar to the last cycle? I trust your patience, but you need to tell me how to endure until that day.

2017年那波真的是信仰储值啊，现在回头看当初咬牙坚持还是值的 --- Another round is here. The hype around test coins has quickly spread to mainstream public chains? Gotta quickly research new track tools --- Saying to endure these years of waiting is easy, the real test is just beginning --- I've seen many projects go from zero to one, but this round feels like it’s laid out even broader than the last, a multi-chain, multi-track combo --- Faith is not wrong, it's just that the wallet can't handle this waiting process haha --- Eight years, still the same saying: persistence will pay off, the key is not to be distracted by the noise in between

Really, some people went all-in in 2017 and are still bottom-fishing now. Your persistence is quite commendable. I'm also part of that group, just without your foresight, I sold half my position early... Now looking at the new track, I can't help but regret. This round is different; both tools and liquidity are on a completely different level. If you endure, you really win. Don't ask me how I know. Back then, some friends who entered the circle early are already financially free, while others are still waiting for a rebound. The difference is those few years of not giving up.
