Last week, I was chatting with an older brother who has been in the Moments for five years. He suddenly threw out a sentence: "In this market, who still guesses the rise and fall? Those who understand the rhythm have long been quietly getting rich."

At the time, I didn't pay much attention. Later, I thought about it—damn, that hit hard.

I've seen too many people cling to old almanacs: Futures = gamble for life, Spot = peace of mind. Some even say, "Hold value coins for three years and you'll definitely turn around." Wake up, the market no longer follows that script. Do you think you're holding high-quality positions? Maybe you're just a frog in boiling water, with your account balance slowly evaporating.

Here's a real example. I know a guy who, at the peak of the last bull run, invested all 120,000 USDT in spot, telling everyone, "I'm making friends with time." What happened? The bear market kept falling until he was left with just over 10,000. Now, his WeChat signature is changed to "Retired from the circle forever," completely laid back. Actually, the coins he chose weren't a problem; the real issue is—he had no idea when to shift gears.

I've also had my falls. I used to believe that "holding on is victory," but when the market turned, I gave back all my gains and even lost time and effort. Later, I figured it out: don’t always focus on going long or short, just pay attention to the market’s breathing rhythm. When there's meat, enter and take a bite; when it's time to exit, do so. Even if each trade only yields 10% or 15% profit, it adds up because it can be repeated.

Recently, I observed COAI's trend. Around 14.9, the atmosphere looked very bearish, so I decisively opened a short position. The next day, I closed at 14.1, netting nearly 10,000 USDT. It wasn't luck; it was understanding the rhythm of capital inflows and outflows during those days—when to go long, when to exit.

In the past two years, the Moments circle has long bid farewell to the era of wild growth. It’s more like a long-term battle of patience and execution. Mainstream tokens have limited gains, alts are sluggish, and hoping to hit a 100x coin? Wake up, that’s a bull market fairy tale. If you want to survive longer in this game, learn to defend: when the market doesn’t give opportunities, stay put and don’t move randomly; when opportunities come, act decisively. Take profits quickly and run, don’t think about eating the fish head and tail at the same time.

There’s an old saying: "In the Moments, you make a living by rhythm, and you stay alive with position management." Consistently earning a little each month and compounding over time is much more reliable than chasing a big win with a single shot. The old way of making money just by stories and concepts doesn’t work anymore—what matters now is discipline, execution, and the ability to quickly adjust when wrong. Everyone can read K-line charts, but true experts are those who can adjust their rhythm after being proven wrong in the market.

I’ve been crawling and struggling in the dark for years before I finally grasped the key of "rhythm." Once you hold this in your hand, everything feels different. The streetlights are always on; it’s just up to you whether you want to walk this way.
