The era turns, and everyone has their own aspirations. In these years of the crypto wave, we have seen a group of people find their place through market cleansing. DeFi arbitrage, contract trading, GameFi exploration, meme token sniping, prediction market research—each track has someone taking root. From the initial collective celebration to now each operating independently, no one's choice is necessarily better. Some are honing their skills in the deep waters of liquidity mining, some are struggling through the unpredictable changes in NFTs, and others treat contracts as a dojo for cultivation. Each person's persistence, each person's skill. This is the truth of the crypto market: there are no absolute winners, only explorers who keep evolving.

It's all about fate. Some people mine and get poorer, while others go all-in on contracts and turn their fortunes around.

Listen, it sounds good, but the ones who truly survive are those with execution ability.
---
What’s with everyone fighting on their own? Honestly, it’s either making money or getting cut.
---
"Training dojo" huh, using that term, contract trading is just gambling in different words.
---
Agreed, the statement that there are no absolute winners is the most clear-headed—most people are just paying tuition.
---
The question is, what percentage of this group of explorers are actually making money?
---
I think, instead of going solo, it’s better to band together for warmth. Going it alone is too dangerous now.
---
Read this kind of article once, then look at the settlement sheet again; the gap between reality and ideals is really shocking.
---
That’s a nice way to put it. Among the people I know, a few are earning stable returns through DeFi, but most have lost everything.
---
Off-topic, which track are you guys paying attention to lately? I’m still looking for a direction.
---
I don’t quite agree with "there are no absolute winners." Clearly, some eat meat every day, while others get cut every day. How can there be no winners?

It's easy to say nice words, but in reality, it still depends on who manages risk better.
---
Going it alone? It still comes down to who survives longer and who doesn't get liquidated.
---
This wave of eliminations is happening very quickly. Don't talk about explorers; most are just giving away points.
---
Liquidity mining, contract training... just listen to the buzz. Those who really make money stay silent.
---
It's true that each track has people rooted in it, but how many have actually made it to now?
---
The idea that there are no absolute winners is not correct. The crypto world is a game of the strong preying on the weak.
---
Turning around and leaving is easy; the key is not to be knocked out by market reversals.
---
Individual skills? Haha, it's still about luck and discipline in stop-loss.

Sounds good, but the ones who truly survive are those who understand risk management.

Sounds nice, but the ones who really make money are still the earliest entrants.
Very well said, but I'm still in the loss-making stage.
Exploring on your own? Ha, I'm just exploring how to cut losses.
Contract training dojo, sounds like Zen Buddhism, my dojo is called liquidation.
Different tracks are okay, the key is to survive until next year.
That sounds comfortable, but the reality is that some win while others run away.

That's right, but I notice that many of the people around me are still just throwing a tantrum.
In the big waves, only those with real skills survive.
I just want to ask, are these "evolutionary explorers" mostly losing in a way that's particularly interesting?

Nonsense, this is just survivor bias.
---
Well said, but in reality most people lost money.
---
Individual skills? I only see everyone getting liquidated.
---
Practicing in the deep water zone... sounds like being trapped and making up stories.
---
No absolute winners? Then what are the negatives in my account?
---
Another bunch of motivational quotes, do whatever you want, the market decides.
---
Training ground? Feels more like a battlefield.
---
I understand the principles, but I feel even more confused after listening.
---
Hey, but honestly there’s no right or wrong, everyone just do their own thing.
---
This paragraph sounds nice but useless, it all depends on who makes money.
