Recently, I’ve been observing discussions in the forums, with many long positions trapped and talking about a rebound. From Bitcoin’s surge at the beginning of the year to now, this correction indeed has a "bull turn" feeling, and many are excited about it. But honestly, are these subtle fluctuations enough to awaken everyone’s bull market dreams? Some are starting to get eager, with reasons like—U price is cheap, recharge is cost-effective, and that classic phrase "Don’t wait, if you miss this wave, there won’t be another chance." Does that sound familiar? That’s why many people in the crypto world are called "leeks" (韭菜). Think about this logic carefully: always being stirred up by small fluctuations, then driven by FOMO to follow the trend and buy in. And the result? Getting liquidated over and over again. As someone who has been in this circle for many years, I want to say: making real money in the crypto space is no easier than reaching the sky. Don’t even talk about becoming a professional trader with that complex system; just this one point must be deeply ingrained in your mind—**Control your hands, control your hands, control your hands**. This isn’t some advanced trading technique; quite the opposite, it’s the most basic and also the most deadly step. Most people fail here: seeing an opportunity, they want to buy the dip; seeing a rise, they want to chase the high; they can never keep up with the rhythm. Those who truly make money often restrain themselves when others are full of enthusiasm, waiting until the situation becomes clearer before acting cautiously. Instead of being led by the market, ask yourself first: Do I have a complete trading plan? How much drawdown can I tolerate? Will losing this amount of funds affect my life? If the answers aren’t clear enough, then recharging multiple times is just futile.

From on-chain data, Solana's recent activity level has indeed been impressive. Comparing it with Ethereum, both clearly outperform Bitcoin in on-chain popularity, as seen from transaction frequency and ecosystem application usage. What's more interesting is that, based on recent Ethereum trends, this wave of price increase might surpass the all-time high set by Bitcoin. This reflects the market's growing expectations for the development of the two public chain ecosystems. However, the once-hot Hype projects have now cooled down significantly, and ecosystems that once had good participation suddenly lost their momentum. This is quite intriguing. Some projects go from hot to cold in an instant. By the way, regarding the concept of TVL (Total Value Locked)—it is essentially a core indicator measuring the activity level of a chain or a project's ecosystem. The larger the locked amount, the stronger the participation and capital attraction.

The institutionalization process of Bitcoin is accelerating. Some analysts point out that by 2026, large banks are likely to start promoting and allocating Bitcoin assets more actively. This is not unfounded — traditional financial institutions are quietly changing their attitude towards crypto assets. Once large banks truly get involved, the market structure will undergo substantial changes. The entry of institutional investors means more compliant capital flowing in, which will impact the liquidity and stability of the crypto market. From a long-term perspective, this trend is becoming increasingly clear. Short-term fluctuations are just noise in the process; the real turning point lies in a fundamental change in the financial system's perception of Bitcoin. If you're still concerned about daily ups and downs, consider broadening your perspective to see the bigger picture.
