The recent market performance during this Christmas season has been quite interesting. You'll notice that funds are all chasing gold and silver, while the crypto circle seems a bit quiet, just sipping some soup. Frankly, investors face two choices—on one side is gold, which has withstood the test of a thousand years and offers stability; on the other side is high-volatility assets like Bitcoin. During periods of declining risk appetite, traditional safe-haven assets are indeed more attractive. But this also highlights a problem: for the crypto market to truly break through, hype alone is not enough. More people need to see practical applications and long-term value. What do you all think? Where exactly are the opportunities in the crypto space going forward?

The rush for gold, well, there's no need to over-interpret it. The big players love this—stability, a sense of security. But honestly, once the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates next year and liquidity returns, the crypto circle will be itching to go. By then, it'll be too late to regret. --- Just have some soup, rather than going crazy like last year. Now you can see clearly who's really building and who's just speculating wildly. After this elimination round, only the projects with real potential will remain. --- Practical application? Sounds good, but let me ask you, how many people around you are actually using crypto payments? Don't talk to me about long-term value; you need something tangible and visible. --- Actually, the rise of gold is a good thing. It shows that risk assets have been hammered hard, and the bottom isn't far off. It's all about cycles—once it turns around, it's the start of a new wave in the crypto world. --- Opportunities are often found where people overlook. While everyone is watching gold, calm investors have already accumulated at the lows. Next bull market, those following the trend will never buy cheap.

The Golden Vampire is back again. We should think about how the crypto world can fundamentally save itself.

Gold grabbing the spotlight is actually just a reflection of the risk aversion cycle, nothing new. Is the crypto market quiet? Then it's the perfect time to buy the dip.

Gold has won again. This thing, we in the crypto circle have to admit. But honestly, who is truly using it now? --- The days of just drinking soup are over. We still have to wait until someone actually uses this thing. --- A thousand years of gold vs. volatile coins, this multiple-choice question is a bit heart-wrenching. --- Just speculating isn't enough. The key is when we can see real use cases. That's the main contradiction. --- It's okay to be quiet for now. We're waiting. Someone will come back. --- Honestly, it's just a bear market mentality now. We'll know the answer when the trend shifts. --- You say application, but I think there needs to be enough talent first... --- Gold is stable, Bitcoin is faster—fish and bear paws, this thing. --- Still waiting for the next breaking point, but it feels close. --- The real opportunity might still depend on the widespread adoption of enterprise-level applications.

The metaphor of "drinking soup" is brilliant. It really is freezing to death now😅

Gold is making a comeback, so we'll just go along and have some soup. Anyway, we're used to it. But to be honest, things without practical applications will eventually fade away, and it's not too late to wake up now.

Everyone predicted that gold would steal the spotlight early on. When stability is on the table, who wouldn't be tempted? But is the crypto world really done for? Probably not.

Gold won again, and we're still here cracking sunflower seeds, laughing to death.
