1. starzq (@starzqeth):
Answer 1:
Success: BTC becomes a little more;
Regret: Forgot to buy it the first time I discovered $virtual / $ai16z.
Answer 2:
Polymarket successfully predicted the US election and became a "news" app for some people, reflecting the reshaping of the content industry by crypto after the financial industry. I hope to see crypto applications that can go beyond the circle (AI has a great chance).
Answer 3:
In 2024, I will exercise three times a week. In 2025, I hope to make a program that will be listened to by tens of thousands of people.
Answer 4:
Track: BTC, Payment, AI;
Strategy: Get involved early, Buy & Hold.
Answer 5:
Just be yourself. No one can defeat you on the road of "being yourself". ——Naval
2. CaptainZ (@hiCaptainZ):
Answer 1:
The most successful investment included a bottom-fishing act with a market value of 20 million and holding on to it until it was listed on Binance, earning up to dozens of times the return.
The investment I regretted most was when I saw ai16z when its market value was 30 million. I kept waiting for a pullback, but it skyrocketed and I missed out on dozens of times of profit.
Answer 2:
The most impressive industry event is Trump's election as the US president. This has a huge impact on the industry. It can be said that the bull market after November can be completely regarded as a "policy bull market" brought by Trump. Generally, there are three factors in a big bull market: liquidity premium, innovation premium and policy premium. In the current macro environment, liquidity premium is almost non-existent, policy premium comes from Trump's support for the industry, and innovation premium comes from the introduction of AI agents.
Answer 3:
The goal I set for myself in 2024 is to achieve a little financial freedom. Although I have made some money now, I am still a long way from this goal. I hope that the market will give me an opportunity to make money in 2025 so that I can continue to achieve this goal.
Answer 4:
In terms of tracks, I focus on ai agent and meme related targets. ai agent is an extension of the concept of web2 to web3, and it can also bring the most market-to-dream rate, and the liquidity is also very abundant. As for meme, it is a rare opportunity, and it depends on hot events, so we can only wait. desci has just started to improve but it is not yet completely confirmed. The above tracks are all new tracks. I think other old tracks will have a general rise, but my personal energy and funds are limited, so I will focus on emerging tracks in terms of strategy.
Answer 5:
I hope for world peace and that everyone can gain considerable wealth.
3. Todd (@0x_Todd):
Answer 1:
The most successful deal was holding on to Bitcoin firmly, which is consistent with previous years. This year, there were many small investments with high multiples, but the principal for each transaction was not much. Only Bitcoin allowed me to hold a large position for a long time.
The most failed investment was FET. At that time, I mistakenly believed that AI concept tokens were also a meme, a leveraged BTC, and as long as Nvidia took the lead, AI tokens would not be bad. However, it turned out that the activity of high FDV VC coins was much worse than that of small-cap community-driven AI Agents.
Answer 2:
Of course, the U.S. SEC officially approved the Bitcoin spot ETF. The seeds planted many years ago finally borne fruit this year, announcing that Bitcoin has finally entered the largest financial market of mankind.
Answer 3:
Basically achieved. Hope to write more articles for you on Twitter in 2025.
Answer 4:
Coin-based yield thickening strategies for Bitcoin, Ethereum and SOL;
meme;
AI Agent.
Answer 5:
I wish all my family members to have a “snake-skin move” in the Year of the Snake and to complete the right transactions at the right points.
4. Huajiao (@off_thetarget):
Answer 1:
Is it successful? After losing a lot of money in ai meme this year, I found the right investment path and methodology, and also caught a lot of opportunities with returns of 5-10x or more (lester/alch/arc/bkkt/griffain/sitcom/trenchAI... and some others), but I forgot the others. The failure is of course that the iteration speed of many ai meme cannot keep up with the market demand, and a lot of profits have been withdrawn to zero.
Answer 2:
Trump's coming to power and CZ's release from prison basically mark the next 4 years as a crypto-friendly era.
Answer 3:
The biggest change in 2024 is the transformation from a blogger doing deep technical analysis to a meme alpha hunter, which is in line with market trends and demands.
Answer 4:
2025 focus: BTC ecology (RGB/Lightning Network) RWA track, AI agent & AI agent + L1.
Answer 5:
Just treat others with your heart~
5. Clever Jenny (@Meta 8 Mate):
Answer 1:
The most successful investments should be XRP and USUAL. XRP has been rising since it broke through $0.7, reaching a high of $2.9, which is in line with expectations. USUAL is more fulfilling. It continued to fall after the pre-market trading was launched. The overall market is not optimistic, but I have always been optimistic about its stablecoin concept. It was recommended to hold it many times in the range of $0.2-0.4, and finally rose to $1.65, which can be regarded as a good verification of my personal vision.
As for the most regrettable thing, it should be that I missed this round of MEME/AI market on the chain. In fact, there are many MEME projects on the chain that have increased by 100 times or even 1,000 times, but because I mainly play the secondary market projects on CEX, I have less layout of on-chain projects. This round of on-chain wealth opportunity has been missed, and I do regret it.
Answer 2:
There is no doubt that Trump's election is the most impressive event this year. After all, it directly triggered the second round of bull market this year. BTC rushed from 60K to 100K, which was completely a wave of "Trump transactions". Although I have always believed that BTC will break through 100K US dollars in the future, when this moment really comes, it still feels a bit dreamy. This is not only a victory for the crypto market, but also makes people realize that cryptocurrencies are further affecting the global landscape.
Answer 3:
The goal for 2024 is to break through 100K USD for BTC, which has been achieved. The goal for 2025 is to break through 150K USD for BTC! I hope we can continue to witness more historic moments.
Answer 4:
In 2025, the focus is still on BTC. In this round of bull market, BTC's performance can be said to be the most stable. Whether it is bull-bear fluctuations or pullbacks, it can perfectly reverse. It is the most trustworthy core asset in the entire crypto market.
In addition, Trump's crypto project WorldLibertyFi is also worth paying attention to. The buying opportunities and holdings of WorldLibertyFi can be studied in depth. I believe that Trump's strict selection will bring new market opportunities.
Answer 5:
Thank you all for your company and support in 2024. I wish you all a new year with new prospects, good health, and that everything you buy will skyrocket and everything you hold will increase a hundredfold!
Finally, here are the 20-word mottos for the bull market: Quit when you are ahead, run when there is profit, sell without hesitation, don’t have any illusions, cash is king!
I hope that everyone can not only make a lot of money in the bull market, but also learn to protect the fruits of their victory!
6. Aunt ai (@ai_ 9684 xtpa):
Answer 1:
The most successful investment is ENA, which I started researching and participating in from the early stage and also produced a lot of tweets;
The one I regret missing out on the most is probably Hyperliquid, haha. My friend persuaded me to buy it a long time ago, but due to time constraints (actually I was just lazy), I didn't do any in-depth research, and I sold all of them after buying several times.
Answer 2:
Because I pay more attention to on-chain data, there are two industry events that impressed me the most. One is the rapid rise of Pump.fun and its money printing effect, and the other is that Wintermute changed its previous style and actively embraced the Memecoin track.
Everyone looks down on Meme, but Meme is the most competitive.
Answer 3:
Overall, it has been achieved. The goal for 2025 is to retain the fruits of victory. If the market turns favorable, we will look for opportunities.
Answer 4:
The President will take office in January. The two directions of RWA + DeFi in the "President's Selected Package" are also the directions I will focus on. ETF plus a Crypto-friendly leadership team can still bring a lot of imagination space to the market.
Answer 5:
In 2025, let go of your prejudices and embrace trends, this year will definitely be a good year.
7. Spinach (@bocaibocai_):
Answer 1:
As the saying goes, investing in a project means investing in people, and buying coins means watching the dealer. It is said that there is no "copycat season" in this bull market, but actually a "strong dealer season". This year's most successful and regretful gambling are both related to Sui, a strong dealer project that has performed extremely well this year. The most successful one is because I started to get in touch with the Sui ecosystem early this year, and I felt very early that the dealer behind Sui wanted to take the "second Solana" route, so I have been paying attention to the Sui ecosystem, and successfully bought the bottom with 70% of the position when Sui fell from 1.1 to around 0.4, and I have not "sold" it so far.
What I regret is that although I successfully identified the explosive potential of Sui ecosystem in this cycle, I also made the most regrettable operation this year, which was to replace most of the Sui that I bought at the bottom with a leading project in the Sui ecosystem. The logic at the time was that if the public chain could take off, the return rate of the leading project in the ecosystem might be greater than that of the public chain currency, but the result was that Sui increased by more than ten times, and the leading project that I replaced at the time was far inferior to Sui's performance.
Answer 2:
Friends who have been following BABA for a long time should know that BABA is more concerned about the application and progress of Web3 in the real world. They believe that Web3 should not only be used for speculation and gambling but also needs some truly practical applications. One of the most impressive events this year is actually the acquisition of Bridge by traditional payment giant Stripe for US$1 billion. The reason why it is so impressive is that this is a very strong signal, indicating that the Mass Adoption of Web3 in the real world is about to explode. In the next few years, Web3 may have a strong impact on traditional payment and financial industries, forcing traditional forces to fully embrace Web3 technology. Web3 will move into the positive spotlight, which makes me feel very excited.
Answer 3:
I haven’t set any goals for myself in 24 years, haha, but for 2025, I’ll set a few goals for myself: 1. Get a 10x coin. 2. Write a few hit articles to bring more value to fans. 3. Get to a higher level in my career.
Answer 4:
In 2025, I will focus on payment, RWA, BTCFi track and Sui ecology. In terms of currency selection, in addition to looking at narratives and backgrounds, my strategy will focus on targets that have not fallen much and have strong rebounds in the market decline, as well as changes in institutional holdings. For example, Grayscale's increase in Sui and ZEN holdings in this round is a very positive signal. Sometimes the winning rate will not be low if you follow the institutions. After Trump came to power, Trump's positive attitude towards Web3 will greatly promote the positive development and regulatory improvement of the Web3 industry. In this environment, the RWA track is undoubtedly one of the tracks that can reap the most dividends, especially in the context of many traditional financial institutions exiting the market. In the RWA track, my strategy is to embrace Wall Street background projects and leading projects.
Answer 5:
I hope that all of you who follow Spinach can win 1000 times the amount of coins you buy, achieve wealth and health in the new year! Don’t forget to treat Spinach to a Hainanese chicken rice after you move into the Shanghai Seaview Villa!
8. NingNing (@0xNing0x):
Answer 1:
The most successful investment this year was investing time in myself. After becoming an independent researcher, I had plenty of time to learn about investment, trading and industry knowledge, perfectly reconstructing my personal knowledge map, and then naturally started the second growth curve of my life.
The failed investment this year was Aevo. I bet on the right paradigm of PerpDEX+AppChain, but bet on the wrong object. This also reminds me that when doing investment research, I should pay equal attention to narrative logic and business data analysis. This is also why when I bet on the consumer chain track at the end of the year, I decisively chose Pudgy Penguin and its ecological Abstract chain.
Answer 2:
The Ethereum Cancun upgrade is the industry event that impressed me the most. Because it is the most vivid example of block space economics this year. Ethereum sacrificed the ability of L1 mainnet to capture L2 value and ended the DA War and modular public chain narrative by exponentially reducing the price of DA.
Answer 3:
The goals set for learning, traffic, and investment income in 2024 have all been achieved. The goals for 2025 are smaller. I hope to pass the TOEFL test in terms of learning, and I will switch to a passive style in terms of investment and embrace beta.
Answer 4:
The overall investment strategy for the next 25 years is a barbell strategy of beta-alpha nesting. The focus is on the application layer, including consumer chains, chain abstraction, AI Agent, PayFi, etc. 2025 will be the beginning of the "fat application era".
Answer 5:
Live Long And Prosper, never leave the poker table.
9. xiyu (@ohxiyu):
Answer 1:
Successful $dog, from runestone to dog airdrop, and then adding dog positions, the biggest profit;
I haven't made any failed investments. To be more precise, I haven't invested in anything else. Short-term trading positions don't count. I was just wasting time.
Answer 2:
Runestone airdrop rewards ordinarys. For first-year players, this is the first time there is such a large-scale airdrop. With three Bitcoin NFTs, you can get an airdrop of up to nearly $10,000.
Answer 3:
In 24 years, the number of fans of Flag reached 40,000, but it is far from being reached at present.
2025 whatever.
Answer 4:
Bitcoin ecology, Bitcoin nft, runes, op_cat, deep involvement, careful study of every new thing.
Answer 5:
It is also easy to lose money in a bull market. Don’t be too greedy. Just reach your goal, protect your principal, and let the profits fly.
10. Lao Bai (@Wuhuoqiu):
Answer 1:
The incorrect valuation of Hyperliquid led to an early sell-off of the airdrop.
Answer 2:
The birth of Goat directly led to the emergence of the new track of AI Agent.
Answer 3:
I haven’t set any goals for 2024. My goal for 2025 is to multiply my assets several times and then try to successfully escape the top this time.
Answer 4:
It is basically consistent with the main line Twi I released before (Payfi is biased towards the primary market, so it is temporarily replaced with compliant Defi), focusing on three major tracks:
Innovation + Compliance Defi: AAVE, CRV, Morpho, HYPE, ENA, Usual
AI Agent+Framework: Goat, Ai16Z, Zerebro, ARC, Virtual, GAME
Meme: Doge, Pepe, ACT, Fartcoin, Pnut, Cheems
Basically, identify these three major tracks, and then only play relatively top projects.
Answer 5:
Don't be too greedy, don't use leverage, don't play with contracts, and stay alive is the first priority. Wealth matches your cognition + mentality, not one or two times or even a period of sudden wealth.
11. Prophet (@Crypto_He):
Answer 1:
If successful, it means that you have held many mainstream positions and participated in this round of rising market;
Failed investment: After a lot of analysis at the secondary level, I bought SCR. The stock price has dropped to the lowest point in the market and it has done nothing. The SCR team got criticized and I am getting angrier the more I think about it.
Answer 2:
I think it was the Trump election that stimulated overall confidence and liquidity in crypto.
Answer 3:
I have achieved it. I am quite content with it. The income from level 1 and level 1.5 is much better than last year.
The goal for 2025 is to stop being a stupid wallet and make good money in the secondary market to slap the faces of my fans and group members, who now always use it as a retaliation!
Answer 4:
Early project direction: Level 1 is the old three things, high overseas popularity, institutional financing + big narrative, and logical interaction of boutique accounts. I did it all by myself, so there is no big scale.
Hot project direction: Don’t use your brain, just calculate the loss you can afford and rush in. For example, new issuance, limited time participation, freemint, signature, limited white, etc., these are all easy to make money!
Execution is very important. Nowadays, it is easy for friends to be clever and lazy. To put it bluntly, how much can you lose? You must cherish every opportunity.
Answer 5:
There are too many opportunities in the crypto world. There are at least dozens of opportunities a year, if not hundreds. This is the charm of the industry. Brothers, work hard and I will find you a sister-in-law next year.
12. Phyrex (@Phyrex_Ni):
Answer 1:
I have been following my own investment strategy this year. The success is due to my correct judgment of the overall trend. I regret a little that my strategy was too conservative. However, it was also because of my conservatism that I was able to survive the previous bear market.
Answer 2:
The most impressive thing in 2024 is definitely the approval of the BTC spot ETF, which fundamentally changed the landscape of the cryptocurrency market.
Answer 3:
From an investment perspective, not only has it been achieved, but there is also a good excess return. Unfortunately, because the market turned for the better in 2024, I have been a little slack in typing. In 2025, in addition to paying attention to the exit time, I will also devote more energy to typing.
Answer 4:
There are three tracks that I am mainly looking at in 2025. In order of priority, they are BTCFi, DePin and RWA. The reason why RWA is placed last is that it would be good enough to have a real prototype in 2025.
Answer 5:
To all my friends, I sincerely hope that everyone can have their own harvest in 2024, not only materially but also spiritually, not only financially but also emotionally. Let us continue to travel together in 2025. I hope that you will accompany me every day in 2025. Thank you.
13. Ma Ti Ju Zi (@bitcoinzhang1):
Answer 1:
What was successful was that I chose the AI track, but I missed the first wave of AI+meme and only started to get on board afterward.
Answer 2:
When Trump was shot, I felt that moment seemed to have announced his victory in the election in advance, paving the way for breaking through 10W. I thought so at the time, and I did come out that way.
Answer 3:
The 24-year goal was barely achieved, and the 25-year goal is to get off the bus safely.
Answer 4:
If you delve deeper into the AI agent track, there are still unlimited possibilities.
Answer 5:
Paying attention to new ways of issuing assets, the most imaginative aspect of crypto is to reconstruct the real world and find new angles for issuing assets. New means huge explosive power.
14. bitwu.eth (@BTW0205):
Answer 1:
Successful investments: In addition to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Doge, the two investments that brought me the most wealth this year are: PePe and Ethena; a meme coin, a vc coin, and a strange combination;
Opportunity of failure: I did not catch any hot spots related to new MEME and was a little slow to react. This is something I can improve on later. Or I think if I do not have an advantage in this area, I can use the power of the community and friends to strengthen my weakness in this area. The opportunity to earn profits with very small funds, as long as I do not indulge in it, I will always support trying.
Answer 2:
The most impressive event: Trump’s election. I have never been so concerned about the US election.
Why? As a digital currency-friendly president, Trump’s promise to the industry at the 2024 US Bitcoin Conference is very exciting. Trump’s logic is to use the “special value” of Bitcoin to replace the “bubble value” of US debt, create Bitcoin into the largest financial asset, create a broader “virtual wealth” for the United States and then pass it on to the world; this will lead to Bitcoin becoming a core resource that the world is competing for in the next decade.
Trump's best quote: It's not Bitcoin that needs America, it's America that needs Bitcoin!
Answer 3:
The goal I set for myself in 2024 is to keep my hands under control and not move them around; I think I have achieved it!
My goal for 2025 is to double the value of Bitcoin.
Answer 4:
I think we will enter the second stage of the bull market in 2025, Bitcoin will be above $200,000, Ethereum, which has been the most FUDed this year, will also rise, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate will continue to rise;
My focus is on:
Ethereum and Ethereum Ecosystem
DEX Decentralized Exchange
MEME and NFTs
Strategy: My personal strategy is relatively conservative. The principle is to simplify complex things as much as possible. I have always adopted the dumbbell strategy in investment. 80% of the funds will be placed in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Among the 20% of funds, 80% of the funds will be bet on the leaders of the track, and the remaining 20% of the funds will be squandered on early projects or MEME to earn profits. After earning profits, they will be converted into Bitcoin or Ethereum; then I only need to consider at what stage to sell Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Answer 5:
The digital currency market in 2025 is expected to be full of vitality and innovation, but also accompanied by high volatility and potential regulatory challenges. We are standing at the forefront of WEB3 and are already the leaders of the times, so we hope that everyone will look at some things with a more open mind:
1. Stay curious: The world is full of unknown possibilities. Staying curious about new things and new technologies will allow you to find opportunities in various changes in the future.
2. Keep learning and growing: Whether in the field of digital currency or in any aspect of life, continuous learning and growth is the key. The New Year is a good start to learn new skills or knowledge that you have always wanted to learn.
3. Keep accumulating investment wisdom: When investing, stay cautious and rational. Market fluctuations are normal, and it is important to learn to identify opportunities in risks while protecting your capital.
4. Stay healthy and balanced: Don’t let digital currency and its ups and downs take over your life. Remember to keep your body healthy and your mind balanced. Health is the foundation of all achievements.
5. Stay optimistic and patient: The market may not go as expected, but stay optimistic and patient, and believe in the long-term value. Success often takes time to accumulate.
6. Keep your digital currency safe: This one must be the last one. In the digital world, security always comes first. Don’t be lazy!
Finally, I hope that everyone can find their own rhythm and achieve their goals in the new year, both in life and investment.
15. arestoshi (@AresWey):
Answer 1:
Success: Invested in NodeMonkes, the first original 10K NFT project in the Bitcoin ecosystem;
Failure: When the market was hot, I followed the trend and invested in some non-leading stocks, which resulted in being trapped.
Answer 2:
1. The sale of Node Monkey at the beginning of the year. Because it is the first original 10K NFT in the Bitcoin ecosystem, it is equivalent to Cryptopunks on ETH;
2. The launch of the Rune Protocol in April. The UTXO base coin issuance protocol of the first layer of Bitcoin is very important.
Answer 3:
We will continue to build and promote the Bitcoin ecosystem in 2025. We believe that this new disruptive narrative of the Bitcoin ecosystem will shine in 2025.
Answer 4:
Focus on the main assets of the Bitcoin ecosystem, such as runes and NFTs, and pay special attention to the upgrade of the Bitcoin op_cat smart contract. The strategy is to increase positions on dips and purchase high-quality assets of the leading Bitcoin ecosystem.
Answer 5:
In a bull market, there will be many temptations. We cannot seize all opportunities. We must avoid changing our minds frequently, following the crowd, and chasing ups and downs. We must have our own independent judgment ability and the determination to take only a scoop from the vast ocean. In this way, we will surely reap a great harvest in 2025.
16. Fengmi KuiGas (@KuiGas):
Answer 1:
In terms of airdrop interaction, I am quite satisfied with the deep participation interaction of WormHole, the layout of Stark, Zksync and EigenLayer. Although the return rate in the later period has decreased compared with the previous L2 projects, the strategic allocation of funds and participation methods have achieved good returns. In addition, I followed the test network of MoveMent and participated in the early investment, and the overall income was very considerable.
The biggest failure this year was the node hardware mining I participated in the IO project. Another regret was that I spent a lot of time and resources on the choice between Sui and Aptos. The current income has not met expectations, but I am still very confident.
Answer 2:
One of the most impressive industry events this year is the official listing of the Ethereum ETF in the U.S. This marks that crypto assets are gradually gaining recognition from the traditional financial market, and may become an important turning point in promoting mainstream institutional investors to enter the crypto field. It also symbolizes the industry's progress in compliance and maturity.
Answer 3:
In 2024, I have basically achieved my goals in project participation and investment, but I have failed in life, for example, there is not enough time for work and rest, fitness, reading, etc.
The goal for 2025 is to liberate myself, do subtraction, and focus on key projects and new track opportunities.
Answer 4:
Large-scale financing of Layer 1 projects, parallel EVM, modularization, Move system, Ai proxy, derivatives, and super applications;
Strategy: Take steady steps, get involved, take a user perspective, take a global perspective, focus on the core operating methods and growth space of each ecosystem, and focus on odds and probabilities.
Answer 5:
I hope everyone can keep learning, stay curious, not blindly chase hot spots, but also not lose the courage to explore new things. Investment is a long-distance race that requires patience and discipline. Web3 interaction still has a lot of opportunities for early participation and counterattack opportunities. In the new year, I hope everyone can find their own rhythm in the market and grow healthily and steadily!
17. Sober on Options, CFA (@Amy6Tina):
Answer 1:
success:
I have held a long BTC option position since the ETF was approved in 2024 until Trump was elected. Although there were several sharp pullbacks during the process, the overall BTC call contributed 80% of the profit this year.
I did 2 rounds of Kas and Doge call option strategies, and made a single profit of about 1200-1500%.
fail:
I am still a little hesitant about switching from ETH to Tesla and BTC. It would be more timely to change positions when the price reaches around 3,000.
Answer 2:
Fake news about BTC ETF passing; I feel that nothing is impossible. Don’t trust news when trading anything, it’s more about logic and profit and loss ratio; for option players, we value implied volatility more.
Answer 3:
I have not set a flag for investment returns in 2024 (it depends more on the market). The main flag is the iteration and improvement of the US stock and crypto options trading system courses, which supplemented many courses on Delta neutral and arbitrage strategies.
The goal for 2025 is to focus on options trading and teaching. We will operate the Sober Options Chat Studio more professionally and find more excellent partners who love options to work together.
Answer 4:
I focus on BTC and Sol options trading, and I also trade some Doge, Kas and Ordi options for other altcoins, but altcoins account for about 10%; I don’t understand most of the popular targets and tracks, and I don’t intend to spend energy on them.
Answer 5:
I hope everyone will proceed steadily, find the track they love and work hard on it, and I hope everyone will make a fortune in 2025.
18. Sunny William Lu (@WilliamLu126):
Answer 1:
The most successful deal was probably in February when I went long from 40,000 yuan and made around 70,000 yuan.
The biggest failure was in August when the Nikkei index plummeted. I thought the market was turning bearish, so I switched from a bull market strategy to a bear market strategy after the plunge, which led to heavy losses in the volatile market from August to November.
Answer 2:
It should be the approval of the Bitcoin ETF, which marks that Bitcoin has been truly accepted by traditional funds and after that traditional institutions can enter into Bitcoin investment in full compliance.
Answer 3:
I didn’t set any goals for 2024, but I thought I was more suitable for secondary asset management. We have a large management scale and no problem with strategy capacity. We only trade BTC and ETH, so we have a strategy on Matrixport called Zion 2024-1. I contacted many investors at that time, but later I felt that I didn’t have enough energy, so I just let it go. The previous returns were pretty good, but the misjudgment in July and August made me feel that the final returns this year were not very satisfactory, mainly in the second half of the year. Looking forward to 2025, I currently hope to take steady steps, and the winners in the market will be the winners.
Answer 4:
After witnessing too many altcoin scams in 2018, I almost stopped using altcoins. At most, I would take a small amount of money for short-term trading, so I didn’t participate in any track. Basically, I only focused on BTC and ETH. In this round of market, ETH’s performance was also relatively poor. I invested some because I was worried about the risk of missing out, but in the end, I found that only BTC was digital gold.
Answer 5:
I hope everyone can make a lot of money, but after making a lot of money, you must withdraw the money and make good configurations.
19. UNICORN🦄 (@0xUnicorn):
Answer 1:
The most successful one was to cover the position when Bitcoin was at $17,000 and seize the rebound opportunity;
The most regrettable thing is that when Bitcoin was worth more than 60,000, I exchanged it for Ethereum worth more than 4,000, and missed the subsequent performance of BTC.
Answer 2:
The advancement of Bitcoin ETF, which is an important node connecting the crypto industry with traditional finance, directly drives the recovery of market sentiment.
Answer 3:
The flag for 2024 is to outperform BTC, which has not been achieved. Overall, it underperforms BTC, but outperforms ETH. The goal for 2025 is to have multiple zeros in assets and achieve growth on the basis of controlling risks.
Answer 4:
Focus on AI, DeSci, anti-quantum attack technology, income assets, DeFi and MEME tracks, combine on-chain transactions and hot narratives, and focus on tracks with high liquidity and market recognition. The strategy is to seek progress in stability, driven by narratives, and flexible adjustments.
Answer 5:
Adhere to long-termism, seize core opportunities, break through cognition together in 2025, and look forward to having more zeros in your assets!
20. Murphy (@Murphychen888):
Answer 1:
The most successful one is to accurately grasp the trend dividend of BTC and obtain returns beyond expectations.
The worst failure is choosing SOL between ETH and ETH, and missing out on SOL which performs better.
Answer 2:
The most impressive thing is the outbreak of meme coins and the condemnation of VC coins. This shows that ordinary retail investors have changed their investment philosophy for crypto assets and no longer regard the endorsement of big VCs and big platforms as the only criterion for investment participation.
Answer 3:
The expectations of 2024 have been realized. In the second half of the 2025 bull market, we hope to find high-quality strong assets that outperform the market. And provide more timely and objective data analysis for our friends.
Answer 4:
The main positions and strategies are still focused on mainstream coins, large market capitalization, and coins with good liquidity. Some positions are reserved to focus on AI, RWA, DePin, MEME and other tracks.
Answer 5:
The strategy has changed in this cycle, especially if you want to make money on copycats, which is hellishly difficult. We cannot be trapped by the "survivor bias" into anxiety and impatience. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. When you can't make money temporarily, you can first earn cognition. If you can't earn cognition, you can earn experience. If you can't earn experience, you can earn skills. Once you have earned all of these, it is impossible not to make money!
I wish all my friends in the Chinese cryptocurrency circle can get what they want and make a fortune in 2025!
21. Mining Penguin (@goupenguin):
Answer 1:
The most regrettable thing this year is that Dacang Shanzhai made a huge floating profit at a high level, but the pattern was too big and I was reluctant to run away, and finally fell back to the starting point. It also reminds everyone that no matter how smoothly you do, you must be prepared for danger when you make a large profit on the water, reduce your position and leave a way out.
Answer 2:
The biggest impact on the market this year should be Trump's election and the potential inclusion of Bitcoin in the Federal Reserve. Bitcoin has been adopted by various new groups since its birth in 2009, and has been included in the reserves of listed companies in 2021. The Federal Reserve is the biggest boss left, the source of human Ponzi. When this ceiling is broken, there is only sky above our heads.
Answer 3:
The original goal this year was to earn back the 1300 wu that was lost in the past two years. I had achieved it at the beginning of the year, but I was too greedy and didn't sell it, so it fell back to the starting point. My brother encouraged me and said, you were just robbed, not a loser. There will be opportunities in the market next year, and I hope I can cut the dog market with everyone next year.
Answer 4:
The biggest theme in the market next year will be the inclusion of Bitcoin in the U.S. Federal Reserve. I will focus on the progress of this matter and observe whether other countries and entities will encounter the prisoner's dilemma and rush to get ahead.
Answer 5:
Profit and loss have the same source: time and fate.
22. Coin Market Trader (@BISHICPS):
Answer 1:
The good returns this year mainly rely on successful timing. For example, I successfully escaped the top on July 29, but I bought the bottom heavily on August 5, and almost every step was accurate in the market rhythm. As for the returns of the investment portfolio, it is still at the market average level. Because half of the positions for bottom-fishing are configured with ETH, and the rest are leaders in various segments of DeFi (AAVE, LINK, UNI, DYDX, etc.). As we all know, ETH's performance is relatively average, so the excess returns earned in this wave are not much. Fortunately, timing is still my strong point. Before this wave of correction, more than half of the positions have been cashed out at high levels.
Answer 2:
The most shocking event this year is undoubtedly the approval of the Bitcoin ETF, which marks that Bitcoin, once regarded as an alternative asset, has officially entered the mainstream investment field. It is precisely because of the approval of the Bitcoin ETF that Wall Street institutions such as BlackRock and Goldman Sachs have a direct entry to participate in the Bitcoin business. From that moment on, the scale of MSTR's increase in Bitcoin holdings began to grow explosively, because market makers, underwriters, shareholders, etc. were replaced by another more powerful institution.
Answer 3:
This year's investment income has doubled, completing the 50% target I set for myself at the beginning of the year. Personally, I think the overall market opportunities next year will not exceed this year, so I will lower my income expectations to the target at the beginning of last year, which is still 50%.
Answered 4 times
I tend to think that the stage dominated by emotions is over, and the market will most likely diverge in the future. Therefore, investors may have to shift from the past pattern thinking (high position + long-term holding) to focusing on trading opportunities. What type of trading opportunities investors focus on mainly depends on their personal risk preferences and return expectations. For prudent investors, I think the platform coins of the top exchanges still have a certain safety margin. After all, the current valuation and growth are still very good. ETH, which is relatively lagging behind in this round of rise, can also be considered. After all, the release of ETH pledge and the launch of hybrid crypto ETFs can still bring a lot of incremental growth.
For speculators who are keen on emotional games, AI Agent and RWA are undoubtedly the direction with higher odds. AI+ is currently the main narrative of the world, so the blockchain field will not miss this hype opportunity. After Trump's victory, there are signs of accelerated advancement in the field of asset tokenization. First, Sacks, the incoming White House crypto director, is a supporter of asset tokenization. Secondly, institutions such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Tether, and Visa have laid out asset tokenization. As a16z's policy director Brian Quintenz, regulatory director Michele Korver, and general counsel Miles Jennings mentioned in a joint article: Now the channel for constructive engagement with regulators and legislatures has been opened. As the regulatory system becomes clearer, it has become possible for project parties to explore blockchain services and issue coins.
Answer 5:
Many times we make investment decisions in situations similar to the past, so it is very important to learn to reflect and summarize. Many times, the so-called market sense and confidence are the resonance between a certain case in history and the current situation.
The new year is coming, and you can spend some time to sort out past investment cases (successful or failed) and investment logic (decision-making methodology), to see what needs to be improved, what can be learned, and what lessons need to be learned. Comprehensively optimize and update your investment system to meet the challenges of 2025 in the best condition.

The most successful investment was to seize the two waves of meme FOMO in March and November, which completely changed the way memes are played and made some money.
Firmly hold a certain proportion of BTC and basically never move;
In October, I switched some of my Solana positions to Sui.
The most failed or regretted missed investments were due to the temptation of some airdrops without detailed consideration of the huge unlocking schedule of the overly high FDV, resulting in some staked tokens losing up to 70%.
Related Questions (More Answers Below)
The most impressive thing may be that BOME increased hundreds of times in 3 days, which completely overturned the perception of the speed at which the industry makes money.
BTC is over $100,000, and even my friends outside the circle have started asking me how to buy BTC. People in the circle may not feel much, but for some people outside the circle who have heard of Bitcoin but have never seriously considered buying it, this is very tempting news.
Answer 3:
I think BTC will reach 100,000 in 2024, and Solana will go to 500. So far, Solana’s performance has not met expectations.
I hope to outperform BTC and escape the peak in time in 2025.
Answer 4:
We will focus on some strategic changes after the Trump administration came to power, and pay attention to the old chains with ETF expectations in US projects;
AI-related projects;
the DeSci (decentralized science) field;
Strategically, you may reduce speculative investments and focus on projects with practical uses.
Answer 5:
Because I see news of friends’ margin calls from time to time, and the bull market has reached this stage, I hope that everyone can open fewer contracts in the new year, stop profits in time, and control risks and returns.

Most successes cannot be replicated, but we can learn from the experiences of failures to avoid pitfalls. The biggest regret should be the bet on CATI. Knowing that it was a rotten apple, we still wanted to hype up the low market value expectations. If the result is not good, it will be bad.
Answer 2:
BTC and ETH were approved, and exceeded the scale of gold ETF in the same year. This was something I couldn’t imagine at the beginning of the year. It felt like I was still thinking about how to cross the river, but I had already reached the other side of the bridge.

This year's most successful and most unsuccessful investments both came from Ethena. This may sound contradictory, but I'll explain it to you.
I saw this project when Ethena was open for staking. It was too late to invest at that time, but I decisively invested a lot of money in staking, called many friends, and discussed its mechanism with Sister Doll. Sure enough, it lived up to expectations and the profit was as high as 70% of the pledged principal. Such a big pattern made me feel that the secondary performance of the project party was also good, so I bought a part of it at the opening, and it rose all the way to 1.49. I placed a heavy position and it slowly fell to 0.2. I sold it at around 0.3 after the second quarter was released, and I lost nearly 100,000 US dollars. I can only blame myself for the loss in the secondary stage, but there is no problem with its mechanism, so I found USUAL along the betting stablecoin track, and this time I also participated heavily in multiple parties and reaped a good harvest. Although Ethena made me lose money in a short period of time, it allowed me to see that its mechanism is innovative and a good choice, which allowed me to focus on the stablecoin track later and reap my own fruits.

The most impressive thing was listening to a sister's sharing in Dubai. Binance's coverage rate in many small and medium-sized countries has exceeded 10% of the local population. Many people use Binance as their local Alipay/WeChat. I was still shocked when I heard it. It also made me realize the information barriers that have been in the Chinese-speaking area for a long time. We all know that the currency depreciation of many small and medium-sized countries is very serious. Through Binance, they can enjoy the world's leading financial inclusion services, which is remarkable.
Answer 3:
It has basically been achieved. After all, the market in 2024 is still somewhat beyond expectations. Whether it is the smooth passage of BTC ETF or Trump's re-election, these are huge benefits for the Crypto/Web3 industry. Just imagine, many years ago, how many of us dared to think that one day, the President of the United States would stand up for Crypto and cheer for it. I believe that 2025 will be a brand new year for Crypto. This time is different from every previous one. BTC is very likely to break the curse of the past 4-year cycle. I hope that in this last cycle, it can reach a higher level!

Use cyclical thinking to deal with the new round of market conditions, starting with the AI track. Because traditional media and the Internet have already popularized what AI is to many people, new entrants will basically start with AI, because there is no need to popularize what AI is, and there is a 0 threshold. Therefore, the AI track must be the first stop for many newcomers and new money in the OTC market. After entering the circle, when they understand what the public chain is, it is the turn of the public chain sector. Similarly, other Layer 2, DeFi, NFT, and Gamefi are all the same. In this process, everyone needs to ambush some coins that are really doing things, have applications, and have market value, and wait patiently. Remember not to change positions frequently. If the target is good, there will be gains this year.

In 25 years, I am personally more optimistic about DeFi, payment RWA, and AI. For DeFi, just follow the president and buy it.
Payment RWA should be the highlight of this year. After all, the ceiling has been opened, more funds need to flow in and out, and real assets need to be digitized. So compared with AI, I am more optimistic about the payment RWA track.
For me, AI is just a trend, and I don’t have a deep understanding of it yet. But trends are trends, so we still have to pay close attention to them.

Track: AI: With better integration with Crypto, AI will help us create smarter and more efficient blockchain applications and smart contracts.
The large-scale application of AI agents can enhance the user's on-chain experience. In the fields of games and entertainment, the AI-driven ecosystem will change the way users interact, etc.
The diversity of AI application scenarios covers more areas, such as data analysis, security enhancement, user experience optimization, and so on.
DEFI:
Ecological explosion: With Bitcoin staking, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and agent AI catalytic applications, DeFi may explode again in the new year;
Deep integration with AI: The integration of DeFi protocols and AI technology may drive a new round of growth and innovation in the market;
With Trump taking office and the US government opening up to certainty in its cryptocurrency policies, DeFi may usher in more legitimacy and investment opportunities;
New defi model (need to wait for market development).
Public chain: The rise of public chain may promote technological innovation and competition in the entire industry.
The differentiated development of public chains has begun to emerge and will become more obvious in the future. In the new year, public chains may continue to focus on building and expanding their own ecosystems to attract more developers and users.
Emerging public chains and infrastructure: Emerging public chains such as Monad and Berachain are regarded as potential star projects.

The biggest failure is that the noise is not eliminated during the transaction, which leads to some bad operations.
Answer 2:
Traditional capital began to enter Crypto, which changed the fundamentals of the industry and brought many unknown possibilities. In addition, CZ’s release from prison brought a lot of "changes" to the industry.
The most impressive reason is that what we need to do is to seek "unchange" in "change".

What changes is the industry, but what remains unchanged is the sense of smell and execution to keep up with the trends.

My 2024 goal was to not have to work after graduation and earn some money for studying abroad. I have achieved it.
My goal for 2025 is to take myself to the next level, but I will not set very specific goals for myself. In my opinion, goals are obsessions that bind oneself, and obsessions are demons that hinder profitability.

Follow the trend, no ability to predict.
However, the focus will still be: the track is based on politics and economy as the main logic, and first-principle thinking is used to find assets that can outperform, which may be AI Agents and their related infrastructure. I have written a long article in this direction and am still thinking about it, but it has not been published yet.
