I've heard too much about "value investing," but honestly, how many people really make money from it?



Did you hold onto UNI as it rose from 2.8 to 40? FIL and a certain well-known coin have multiplied several times from their lows to now. The answer for most people is "no." Why? Because 99% of people are not making money, they are just riding the digital roller coaster.

You call yourself a value investor, so let me ask you — have you really locked in profits? Is your principal still safe? The hardest part of the crypto world is that there is no locking mechanism; even Buffett would be at a loss.

The final and most crucial step in true value investing is to cash out. Stablecoins are the answer to this step.

**Why Stablecoins are Key:**

First, the over-collateralization mechanism means that the risk has already been locked in. Second, multi-chain liquidity allows you to exchange with 0 slippage anytime and anywhere—no fear even if the coin rises 500 times, because the profit can immediately turn into stable value. Plus, with the double-digit annual yield of the stablecoin pool, you can earn money while lying down; the interest can also accumulate ammunition for the next time to buy the dip.

**The simplest operational logic:**

When a coin rises to your psychological price level, don’t be greedy—immediately exchange it for a stablecoin, turning unrealized gains into real assets. Then, throw the stablecoin into a liquidity pool and watch the interest grow daily. When the next wave of adjustments comes, you will be well-equipped to buy the dip with greater force.

Remember this: the cryptocurrency world is not about who picks the coins correctly, but rather about who survives the longest.

Soros went bankrupt twice but was able to bounce back, Buffett has only bought and not sold for decades, and Munger says that even expensive good companies should be bought—what do they have in common? They all understand how to lock in profits.

A certain popular coin may rise a thousand times, but stablecoins are the only value metric in your account that won't deceive you.

Change your strategy now: stop stubbornly holding on to the market; leverage will only lead to greater losses. Lock in your profits with stablecoins so that market fluctuations have no impact on your principal.

FIL-1.35%

You're right, there really aren't many that I've held onto. I only understood after being trapped... Instead of constantly watching the market rise and fall and having a breakdown, it's better to lock in profits early.

You're not wrong. The key is that no one is really willing to sell. Watching the coins rise makes people want to earn more, but then a sudden drop wipes everything out. --- I indeed couldn't hold onto UNI during that wave; now it's just a memory... Unrealized gains are always fake; cashing out is what matters. --- Earning from stablecoins sounds good, but the premise is you really need to control your greed, right? --- The crypto world is just a psychological game. Most people don't lose to the market, but to their own greed. --- It sounds easy to lock in profits, but it's really hard to do it. Watching others still rise drives you crazy. --- Buying the dip, but in the end, the principal is gone. How can you accumulate ammunition then? --- The saying about living long hits home. Only those who survive have a chance to make money. --- Stablecoins are indeed a good choice, but you need to be clear about the contract risks regarding returns.

To be honest, I deeply understand the point of locking in profits... Last year, it was precisely because I didn't cash out that I watched my unrealized gains turn into unrealized losses. Taking profits is the hard truth, there's nothing wrong with that. Wait, is the annualized return of the stablecoin pool really that high? What about the risks? No matter how accurate the coin selection is, the key is still to be alive to see the next wave.
