Seeing SOL surge to $125, the group is already hyped up—"Charging to 300, target 1200" calls echoing back and forth. But my palms are sweating.
Last year, I witnessed too many crazy scenes. There was a guy who went all in on a certain altcoin, doubling his investment in a week, only to see it crash by more than half the next morning. Behind the high returns, there is always a razor-sharp risk. After that, I understood a principle: making money is certainly enjoyable, but preserving the principal is even more satisfying.
So the most stable part of my position is USDD.
It's not that it can make you rich— to be honest, stablecoins were never meant to double your money. What is their purpose? To ensure you have enough composure to avoid being thrown out of the game while everyone else is frantically chasing. Like the lifeline you hold onto in a storm.
Once you break down the three layers of logic of USDD, you will understand:
**Excessively collateralized real gold and silver** For every USDD issued, assets worth more than 1 dollar are locked behind it—real assets like BTC and TRX. This is not a castle in the air, but a hard rule written in the smart contract. No matter how much the market fluctuates, the collateral assets are there.
**Algorithmic Self-Balancing** The peg of 1 dollar is not maintained by any institution, but is automatically adjusted through an arbitrage mechanism. If the price is too high, arbitrageurs buy in; if it is too low, they sell out. The entire system automatically seeks balance without the need for human intervention.
**Decentralization is your sovereignty** It runs on the blockchain. No one can freeze your assets, and no one can operate behind closed doors. This is what cryptocurrency originally promised - to truly return the sovereignty of money to individuals.
Why talk about USDD while chasing the wave of SOL? Because true investment wisdom is never about putting all your eggs in one basket. It’s about leaving yourself an escape route while pursuing returns. Balance is always more sustainable than extremes.

Looking at those advocates in the group, I can't help but think of that brother from last year... all in alts doubled in a week, but then it flash crashed directly to a 50% Slump in the early morning. To be honest, the dream of getting rich and losing everything often just comes down to one night's sleep.

To be honest, I like this kind of sober person. Those in the group who shout for 1200 will start crying poor again when a flash crash happens, it's a cycle. USDD is indeed a safety rope, although it's not that exciting, but being able to play on is what makes you a winner.

I have also experienced the feeling of sweaty palms; it’s easiest to crash during the SOL frenzy.
The logic behind USDD indeed hits the mark, but I think the key still lies in whether one can truly hold on. No matter how nice the words sound, one cannot withstand a big dump in the market, or the mentality will collapse.
What happened to that guy who went all in on altcoins last year?
Are you advising us not to gamble or are you saying you’re panicking too?
To be honest, the over-collateralization model might work for standardized assets, but should we really still aim for stability in this bull run? What if it means missing out on the opportunity?
Balancing sounds very reasonable, but nine out of ten people who execute it can’t do it.
