I recently summarized some operational insights in the crypto field, covering five key dimensions: cognition, action, risk control, organization, and ecology. These experiences are not only useful for entrepreneurs but also worth considering for investors.
**Cognition Dimension: Seize the Big Trends**
Understanding a trend thoroughly before betting heavily is the first step to success. In 2014, someone sold their house to go all-in on Bitcoin, because they believed cryptocurrencies would become a once-in-a-generation opportunity. But the premise is to truly understand the underlying logic, master the white paper, rather than blindly follow the crowd. Long-term thinking is especially important in this industry.
**Action Dimension: Focused Breakthroughs and Flexible Adjustments**
When the trend is clear, dare to all-in, but also set a bottom line. For example, a case where a project raised $15 million in 10 days was because they had the right direction and moved quickly. At the same time, rapid trial and error and iteration are equally critical—no fixed headquarters, supporting remote work, and flexible operational adjustments under regulatory pressure are all ways to maintain competitiveness.
**Risk Control Dimension: Anti-Fragile Design**
Extreme stress testing is not optional but mandatory. Anticipate industry cycles and regulatory risks in advance, and prepare contingency plans. Another easily overlooked point: don’t aim to earn the last penny. Moderately reduce positions at the cycle top to avoid the risk of zeroing out due to greed.
**Organization Dimension: Dual Drive of Technology and Culture**
The quality of trading experience largely depends on underlying technology. Self-developed matching engines can ensure speed and stability under high traffic. Meanwhile, a lightweight headquarters that strengthens culture is the trend—decentralized teams, global talent collaboration, rapid market response—such organizations can better adapt to the rhythm of the Web3 era.
**Ecology Dimension: Building a Positive Cycle**
How can platform tokens be sustainable? The key is to integrate them into multiple aspects such as trading, fees, and ecology, forming a true positive cycle. Additionally, openness and win-win cooperation in the ecosystem are very important—connecting users and early projects through different modules to create value for all parties.
Ultimately, the game rules in this industry are still evolving. Those who can see the direction clearly and adapt quickly will be the ones who survive until the end.

Hmm, this framework really hits the mark, especially the part about "not earning the last penny"—how many people die at the greed level, still leveraging at the cycle top.

The guy who went all-in on selling the house for Bitcoin, how is he doing now? Still gotta stay alive.

That's right, but only a few who truly survive are those who can buy the dip and sell at the top; the rest are cannon fodder.

The guy who went all-in on selling the house for Bitcoin, how is he doing now? That was a correct gamble on the right direction.

This framework is all about surviving; everything else is empty talk. I totally agree with the part about the last penny—how many people have died because of greed? Zeroing out really happens in an instant.

It sounds good, but how many can truly achieve "not earning the last penny"? Greed, it's human nature.

the whole "don't take the last copper coin" thing hits different when u think about it through baudrillard's lens of hyperreality... like we're all performing exit liquidity while the system collapses around us lol. tokenomics as performance art, unironically.

The guy who sold his house in 2014 to go all-in on Bitcoin, how is he doing now? This is the power of perception.

Basically, it's still the old saying: the one who survives until the end is the winner. Those who went all in back in 2014 are now laughing to death.

Raising 15 million in ten days, how smooth and successful that is. Why don't I have this luck...
