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.

Is this the same "value system definition" routine again? It sounds grand, but honestly, it's just an attempt to bypass the reality of cost price... Long-term holders are really trapped; the levels at 101k and 81.7k are indeed tightly held, and it's not so easy to break through the psychological barrier. I believe in the real utility, but don't be fooled—can a thousand kids and my principal recovery rate be the same? The charity ecosystem + crypto combo... emm, how should I put it, I always feel something's off. But if they can really establish 50 country nodes, that would definitely be more interesting than just watching K-line charts.

Once again, the narrative of "breaking the paradigm" sounds good, but in reality, most people still have to bear the losses themselves. Actual actions > numerical support, I agree with that, but will community members really give up watching the gains to care about "helping more children"? Overthinking... Educational ecosystem, charity nodes, 50 countries... sounds like the next "world-saving" coin, but in the end, it still depends on how much real money can be cashed out. Honestly, the volunteer spirit is fine, but don't use this kind of packaging to replace the true product value.

Interesting point, but the reality is that most people are still hostage to the cost price... How can there be such a quick breakthrough? Projects that focus on doing real things are indeed different, but in the end, the market's true acceptance still depends on whether the coin price goes up or not. Don't fool yourself. Educational ecosystems, charity nodes, and other tangible implementations are indeed accumulating, but the question is, where is the participation sense for ordinary people? A thousand children vs. price support—both are actually important. Forcing a choice between the two is really a false dilemma. The action cycle sounds interesting, but the difficulty is too great... Has anyone in the industry truly persisted?

Haha, it's the same psychological game of cost price... We're all prisoners trapped at our own buy-in prices. To be honest, this educational ecosystem idea is somewhat interesting, but can it truly break market psychology? I'm skeptical. 100,000 children as support levels... sounds ideal, but can it be realized? Wait, are we talking about a specific project? Feels a bit exaggerated. Switching dimensions is easy to say, do retail investors really buy into it? Or is it just another narrative? Projects that do good deeds make me more cautious... they often end up as fundraising gimmicks. But if they can truly link action cycles with value, it could be a breakthrough. Real support comes from people and actual contributions, not numbers on a chart — I agree with that. Speaking of which, how much influence can volunteers really have... it depends on funding and execution capability. Let's see when they actually build to the 50th country; right now, it's all PPT slides.

Nice words, but can it really escape the price game... I think it's just a rebranding to continue cutting leeks. Using the number of children as support levels? Charitable efficiency as resistance? Sounds like marketing gimmicks from certain projects. Wake up, everyone. Friends holding around $100,000, we are all slaves to the cost price. No need to deceive ourselves. Real utility? Nonsense. In the end, it still depends on the USD price; everything else is just stories. If this theory could truly break the paradigm, it would have become a reality long ago. Why are we still talking about it on paper?
