Interesting things have happened.

A certain stablecoin investment activity is about to end in a week, and the price suddenly dropped to 0.999. This caused a wave of panic in the market, with people rushing to redeem early, fearing they might miss out on profits if they wait too long.

I also considered this idea. But when I opened my account and did the math—subtracting the premium cost from the initial purchase—I found that I still had over $500 in profit. In this case, rushing to exit early would actually be a loss. So I decided to hold on and see it through; after all, just a few more days, maybe I can earn a bit more.

This little episode revealed an old market trick: when the price fluctuates, most people's emotions immediately collapse. Actually, just taking some time to do the math can help you see whether your decision is rational. Those who stay calm and carefully verify with a calculator at this moment are often the final winners.

But it also exposes a more fundamental issue: short-term activities are ultimately short-term. Once they end, where should the money go? Continue chasing the next potentially pre-emptively dumped "high-yield activity"? Or find a place with clear rules that can generate stable long-term returns?

My answer is becoming clearer: short-term activities are indeed worth participating in, but the core funds should not be parked in a single activity. Instead, they should be placed in a systematic, sustainable strategy that can operate continuously.

This is also something I’ve been committed to since last year—long-term allocation of part of my funds into certain stablecoin investment strategies. Instead of riding the emotional rollercoaster with the market every time, it’s better to find a transparent, sustainable plan that truly makes the funds work.
