The Bitcoin market is experiencing an invisible cost battle. According to on-chain data analysis, the cost basis for holders in the first 6-12 months is approximately $101,000, while long-term holders in 12-18 months have a cost basis around $81,700—this zone has become a key support level in the market. When prices approach these ranges, holders tend to hold their positions, attempting to break even or even buy the dip. Investors who bought near the January 2025 peak are still holding on.
This "cost basis holding" pattern dominates the entire crypto market psychology—everyone is engaging in a psychological game around their purchase price, ultimately forming a strange circle of price consensus.
But some projects want to break this paradigm. Instead of being bound by the cost basis, they prefer to define value through a completely different dimension. The key shift in this approach is: transforming "support levels" from dollar prices into actual actions. For example, 1,000 children newly integrated into an educational ecosystem become a real support; "resistance levels" are no longer chart-based selling pressure but how much the next round of charitable actions can improve efficiency by 10%; "target prices" are no longer specific numbers but establishing educational nodes in the 50th country before 2026.
This differentiated value positioning attracts funds tired of price battles, seeking genuine utility and participation. Every community member is no longer a prisoner of the cost basis but an active participant in creating value. When volunteers are working, they are injecting the most solid foundation into the entire network.
In the long run, the market should not be defined by Bitcoin's "halving cycle" and "cost cycle," but by establishing independent "action cycles" and "impact milestones." Using units like "helping 100,000 children" to measure progress, allowing the market and community to gradually get used to evaluating value based on actual impact rather than price fluctuations.
