There has been a lot of recent discussion about the strategic value of digital assets. Observing the trends from last year to this year, we often scrutinize the true costs for those large funds. Who is deploying capital in 2024, and what proportion are they using to buy the dips? These questions are increasingly worth retrospective analysis.

Honestly, the window for gold accumulation has already been missed. Whether institutional investors or major players, their chip arrangements have long been decided. As ordinary investors, instead of guessing their next move, it’s better to focus more on risk management — that is truly where victory or defeat is decided.

Why? Because retail investors simply cannot change the market’s supply and demand structure. This is not pessimism, but reality. Price movements are determined by the inflows and outflows of large funds. All we can do is follow the rhythm and hop on this train. Knowing your position and maintaining a risk bottom line is much more practical than blindly predicting.

Damn, it's the same old "follow the big money" rhetoric... It's not wrong to say, but it doesn't help to listen to it either. --- Risk management? Bro, I just want to know when the real bottom will be. --- Missing the golden window is one thing, but now we shouldn't even make predictions? Then what are we playing at? --- It sounds convincing, but the problem is, who really knows where the big money's true cost lies? --- The premise of守风险底线 (maintaining risk bottom line) is that you have to survive first to see the rebound, right? --- Taking the bus is fine, but you should at least know where this bus is headed, right? --- This logic... sounds like someone who's already on the bus is advising others not to get on. --- The group that bought low last year is now feeling proud, but we're discussing risk management. --- Who determines the supply and demand structure? Isn't it the main players controlling it? So what are we learning then?

Haha, you're right. Instead of studying the movements of the main players every day, it's better to set your stop-loss properly. That's the real skill to survive. --- Missing the window is gone, and it's really a bit exhausting to still be debating why you didn't get in. --- Risk management is indeed underestimated. Most people think of going all-in to turn things around, but little do they realize that losing money actually happens right here. --- To put it simply, following the rhythm is easy, but the hard part is knowing when to follow and when to stop. There's no standard answer to that. --- Retail investors really can't change much, but why are so many still dreaming of catching the bottom? --- The gold rush has long left. Even if you jump in now, you're just chasing the high. Better to close your eyes and manage your positions well. --- Knowing your own capacity is the prerequisite for making money, but unfortunately, most people just can't learn that. --- Instead of guessing what big funds are thinking, ask yourself how you can endure when you're losing. That's the real dividing line.

Missed the golden window? Buddy, you're right, but I still think risk management is talked about too lightly... Keeping a firm bottom line is indeed important, but the problem is that most people don't even know their own position Retail investors can't change supply and demand, I agree, but at least they can change their own fate. Following the trend is okay, just don't fall behind

Missed the golden window, now what can I do? Follow the trend, recognizing your own strength is the most important.

If you miss the window, then you miss it. Anyway, the big players have already gotten on board. As retail investors, just honestly set your stop-loss and don't waste your brain trying to figure out when they will sell off—that's all just a waste of effort.

I've already said not to guess blindly. Whatever the institutions do, we follow suit. Copying homework is the way to go.

Come on, retail investors are just here to eat leftovers. Don't talk about those grand narratives. Recognizing your position is the key to lasting longer.

Listen, instead of constantly analyzing institutional costs every day, it's better to set your own stop-loss first. That's basically what it comes down to. Missing the window is gone, so what are you still hesitating for? Recognizing your own amateur status is the first step. Institutions have already completed their布局 early, and now we are just riding along. If we follow well, we eat meat; if not, we cut losses. Nothing else. It's called risk management in a nice way, but frankly, it's just about not losing everything. This is the truth for retail investors to survive. No matter how the price moves, they call the shots. What we do is just guess the right direction and then withdraw in time. Nothing too complicated.

Alright, you're right. Risk control is always the top priority. But I still think that people entering the market now are too greedy, always trying to buy at the bottom, but often getting hammered to the floor.

Risk management is correct, but I think it's still important to consider your own position planning... Tracking large funds' movements is really not that simple. I've heard a lot of retail investor resignation theories, but this time you really need to manage your stop-loss well. To put it simply, don't be greedy, just follow the right people.
