There is no next story of getting rich from the top exchanges. I came too late and can't be part of that wave anymore.

There is no opportunity for someone like me to catch up. No matter how much I hustle, I can't go back to those wild days of the past.
The times have changed, and the story has ended...

This is probably the sentiment of many traders who entered the market late. Back then, those who followed the trend indeed made money, and early participants did get rich. But looking back now, everything is different. The market has become more rational, competition has intensified, and individual wealth dreams seem to be fading more and more within this ecosystem.

Buddy, your idea is just a bit off—it's not that there's no opportunity, you just haven't found the right arbitrage angle. --- Stop with the stories. I also lost money in 2017, now I make a living from portfolio returns. --- Early wealth was all about a gambler's mentality. Now only the survivors are true players. Know the difference. --- When the market becomes rational, arbitrage actually gets easier. Why are you backing down now? --- Stop with the "I'm late" tragic act. On-chain data is right there—it's just whether you're willing to study re-investment strategies. --- Those who survive the bear market are the real traders. Everyone dreams of getting rich quickly, but the question is whether you want to earn a stable annualized return. --- The era isn't over; it's just changing strategies. Most people are still waiting for the right moment, while smart investors are already building their portfolios. --- What if you're late to the game? Now the liquidation prices are more transparent than before, making it easier to find undervalued assets. --- The story isn't over—it's just shifted from gambling to finance. You just can't adapt.

The words are really hitting home, but to be honest, this is the reality. We should have recognized it long ago. The story of missing the bus happens every day; we should think about how to live in the present. Instead of constantly reminiscing about those myths, it's better to consider whether there are any other ways out now. Unfortunately, most people choose to complain and feel sorry for themselves. Missed this round, what about the next? Or maybe there won't be a next round at all, who knows. Honestly, having a bad attitude is more uncomfortable than losing money. Accepting the fact that you're not good at this early on can actually make life easier. But on the other hand, it's not that there's no chance at all, it just requires smarter strategies. The times have changed, but greed hasn't. Always dreaming of getting rich overnight, no wonder ending up with nothing in the end.

To be honest, instead of constantly lamenting that we're late, it's better to think about how to survive within the current rules.

To be honest, I've heard this kind of talk too many times. Early investors indeed made a fortune, but that was the price they paid to go all in. What's the use of regretting now? Instead of blaming the world, it's better to think about how to find opportunities at this stage.
