Yesterday I saw a shocking trading data: two Large Investors directly withdrew over 200,000 ZEC from a top exchange, worth more than 930 million USD. The WeChat group exploded, with some following the trend shouting "buy the dip", and others analyzing whether this is the "night before the pump". But after reading this news, a thought crossed my mind: after withdrawing this 900 million USD, how to invest it safely?



This actually touches on the most painful reality in the crypto world - the strategies of large players and ours are fundamentally different. They withdraw funds to their own cold wallets or engage in more complex asset allocations; what about us ordinary players? We often just move from exchange A to exchange B, or exchange for a coin that "looks like it will rise." As a result, if we're not careful, we jump from one trap into another.

In recent years, I've come to understand that to survive long-term in this circle, it's not about following the operations of the large investors. The real skill is to establish an effective and relatively secure system for storing your assets. This issue becomes even more urgent, especially after you withdraw your funds from the exchange.

Ask yourself a few simple questions: what is the best way to store the coins withdrawn from the exchange? Should you hold onto the highly volatile altcoins directly? Or should you convert them into stablecoins? If you choose stablecoins, how do you ensure that the stablecoin itself is safe and not just dead money? Over-collateralization, transparent mechanisms, and ecosystem support that can generate returns—these are the true indicators of whether a stablecoin is worth trusting. By placing it in a suitable stablecoin, you can not only protect your principal but also outpace inflation. This is the logic that ordinary people should follow.

To be honest, at the moment I saw 900 million dollars, I was thinking how troubled this guy must be. While we are still debating whether to buy or not, he is already considering where to put it.

It's too heart-wrenching to say, Large Investors withdrawing 900 million is just moving it to another place, while we ordinary people start to get entangled when withdrawing coins, haha. Chasing Whale operations really is an IQ tax, it truly is. Over the past few years, I've seen too many people jump from one exchange to another, and in the end, they lose everything. I've also been re-evaluating stablecoins recently, feeling that not all stablecoins are the same; you have to look at the collateral and mechanisms behind them. Cold Wallets sound safe, but there needs to be a reasonable asset allocation logic; just holding is not enough. This perspective is quite good; finally, someone has hit the nail on the head. It's not about watching who moves coins, it's about whether you can survive in the long run. I agree with the last logic; preserving capital + being able to outpace inflation is the only sustainable approach. The game rules for Large Investors are indeed different from ours. Calmly thinking through your storage plan is the key.

To speak frankly, we really can't play their trap. Asking for 900 million still requires figuring out how to release it, that's the real trouble.
