Dare to trade. Dare to win.
Today marks exactly one month since I left the circle, and it feels like this month has been quite long. During this month, I have not completely withdrawn from the circle; I have consolidated my Wallet (SUI stake), received an Airdrop (Sonic), and sold some NFTs (Alkanes XMC). I have squeezed out all the remaining funds, but the final result did not reverse.
During this past month of leaving, I have been constantly thinking about many issues. In this circle I have been in for 5 years, leaving so hastily seems to create a strong sense of disconnection, like a cliff-edge breakup. Although I feel reluctant, leaving this way is the most prudent choice. I can't wait until I'm heavily in debt before I can let go; otherwise, there will never be a new beginning.
In this past month, I occasionally sneakily observe the market to understand what has been discussed lately and what chains people are engaging with. However, I found that my understanding of the projects has plummeted drastically; I don't understand what their business is or what functions they serve. I have to say that the pace of the market is indeed fast; if you leave for a short time, you won't be able to keep up with the progress. However, the secondary market and the dog-fighting have not been affected at all.
After detaching myself, I re-searched for my understanding of investment. No longer predicting the market or analyzing it. I forgot where I saw it, but some Federal Reserve chairman said that predicting data is very foolish because it cannot predict itself. So I was thinking, rather than spending energy on studying a market full of uncertainties, it would be more valuable to withdraw and restore my physical and mental health.
Of course I can't give up this circle, even though it has changed into something I don't like anymore. I used to enjoy the sense of rebellion against traditional finance, but now the crypto world has successfully landed and joined the compliant camp. The best era belongs to the past, and all that's left is me standing still reminiscing about the past.
