After thinking about CZ's book "The Crypto Winter" and Buffett's "The Coming Stock Market Crash," I find them quite interesting. Both industry giants are publishing works on the same theme, but their perspectives seem different? One discusses the cyclical hardships experienced by the industry itself, while the other issues a warning about the entire financial market. Behind this, does it reflect the different attitudes towards market downturns between the crypto world and traditional finance?

A more painful question is—when ordinary investors see these book titles, are they easily influenced by FUD? Sometimes it's natural to worry about asset devaluation, but upon reflection, is this fear a reasonable risk warning, or is it a created sense of pessimism? The crypto market has always been volatile, and projects and investors who survive the winter are often the winners. Perhaps instead of being scared by these grand narratives, it's better to ask yourself: why should the assets you truly believe in waver because of short-term market panic?

Only those who survive the harsh winter are the winners. Well said... but I still get scared, haha. CZ and Buffett talk about cycles and crashes respectively, from completely different perspectives—that's the difference. Short-term fluctuations in assets I truly believe in are nothing, the problem is I don't really know what I genuinely believe in. Being affected by FUD is normal, who isn't afraid of asset devaluation... but greed and fear are always battling. Those who坚持HODL have made a fortune, those who sell regret it, and the story always plays out this way. Only in winter can you see who is swimming裸, but most people probably won't last until that moment. The book title is indeed meaningful—one admits to cycles, the other warns of disaster, and the mindset is different.

Haha, I like this perspective. CZ's approach is just industry self-rescue. The ones who survive the winter are the winners. That really hits the point. FUD is indeed easy to get stuck in, but I'm now basically free from it. The coins I truly believe in, I won't sell even if they hit the bottom line. Just like that. Buffett's methods work for traditional finance, but we're playing by a different set of logic here. Honestly, reading those book titles instead motivated me to do the opposite, haha. It's a matter of conviction, not price.

Well... I'm already tired of CZ's usual rhetoric; it still feels like he's just hyping his own coin. Buffett said the stock market crash is really coming, but why does no one believe CZ when he talks about the winter? It's probably just different psychological accounts—one is used to declines, and the other panics only after a fall. Just hold on if you're optimistic; overthinking can actually lead to making the wrong move.

It's just a cold winter, anyway I've already accumulated what I should. These fluctuations can't shake me now.

Winter is winter, anyway, every time I shout this, I haven't died lol The big players are those who endure, paper hands hear this and run, it's very normal If you truly believe in your coin, don't pay attention to these headlines and overthink; losing your composure will only hurt you CZ and Buffett indeed have different perspectives—one criticizes the industry, the other warns the entire market... what does this imply? Instead of fussing over the book title, it's better to check if you really believe in your holdings

The cold winter is here, so what? I've already cleared my positions haha CZ and Buffett are both creating anxiety, but honestly it's just for selling books The real winners don't pay attention to these things; quietly accumulating is the true way Rather than listening to their stories, it's better to do your own research Crypto is like this, ups and downs are normal, so why panic? One says the industry is in trouble, another talks about a financial collapse, but in the end, we still have to judge for ourselves Last year, I was talking about holding coins, and now I'm not panicking anymore Hearing these predictions too often can make you vulnerable to being shaken out; trust your own judgment

Ha, I knew it. Why are everyone suddenly writing books... Really, just seeing these two book titles made me laugh. CZ calls it a cold winter, Buffett talks about a stock market crash, feels like they're competing to see who is more pessimistic? But think about it carefully, one is about the honest cycle theory, and the other is amplifying absolute risk... For retail investors like us, doesn't it automatically lead to a "we're doomed" mentality? Honestly, I’ve also been confused by FUD, but now I realize that the ones who truly survive are the ones pretending not to see it...
