Deep Tide Editor's Note: In the crypto market, the myth of 100x returns still exists, but the rules have been completely rewritten. Veteran trader 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗽 points out that with explosive growth in token supply (per capita tokens increased 24 times), the traditional "buy and hold" strategy has become a graveyard of wealth.
This article provides an in-depth analysis of market paradigm shifts from 2017 to present, revealing how liquidity rapidly cycles between airdrops, Solana Memecoins, real yield protocols (such as HYPE), and "casino-style" platforms.
Standing at the threshold of 2026, the author provides us with a new practical framework: don't try to find that one 10,000x coin, but instead capture the cyclical rotation of "value-casino-structural extraction," leveraging compounding to grow assets.
