Remember two years ago when Bitcoin was trading between $30,000 and $40,000, and the same question was everywhere: Why does Wall Street want to take this position? They must be here to harvest retail investors. During that time, seeing spot ETFs being approved one after another, policy environments adjusting, and capital flooding in, all signs pointed in one direction, but many people just couldn't understand.

In fact, institutional-level participants don't pay attention to the small chips held by retail investors at all. Their scale of operation has long been different. The current situation is somewhat similar—market infrastructure is improving, major players are positioning themselves, and the entire ecosystem is evolving. This wave of market movement is essentially just beginning.

Believe it or not, the power of choice is in your hands. I am neither your trader nor your financial advisor, so there's no need to persuade anyone. Do your homework, understand the market logic, and the rest is just a matter of time and choices.

To be honest, the hype two years ago was really funny. Looking back now, you can see who was truly thinking and who was just shouting blindly.

The group from two years ago is probably still complaining now. Honestly, institutions don't even look at retail investors' small chips. If you can't understand it yourself, don't blame others for cutting you.

The panic from two years ago is really laughable. People still shouting about cutting leeks probably haven't understood it either. --- Big players are playing chess, while retail investors are worried about how many chips there are—that's the gap. --- That's right, I haven't listened to anyone anyway, so I might as well do my own research. --- The institution's goal is not at all in the few coins you hold; you need to understand this. --- Now some people are still asking how Wall Street thinks? You should have checked whether you've done your homework. --- Every time the market just starts to unfold, this kind of statement makes me think for two more seconds... --- Instead of waiting for others to persuade you, it's better to organize your logic yourself. That's really all there is to it. --- Seriously, retail investors care about points that are on a completely different level from what institutions are playing.

Well said. How are those people who talked about cutting leeks back then doing now?

I've seen through it long ago. The group of people shouting about cutting leeks two years ago are probably already亏麻了. To be honest, retail investors are just retail investors. How can they play on the same level as institutions? Here we go again, when bottom-fishing, I regret not getting on earlier. This round is indeed different; the infrastructure is no longer the same as three years ago. But the most heartbreaking part is that even if I explain it clearly to you, it's useless—you have to understand it yourself. Institutions'布局早就完成了, and we're only reacting now.
