Reflections and Gains from Market Recovery

Recently, the market has shown a strong recovery trend, with various chat groups filled with profit displays and performance sharing, and investors are generally caught up in the emotion of FOMO (fear of missing out).

In the face of this situation, I choose to gradually reduce my holdings and wait for the next pullback opportunity. Even if the market continues to rise in the future, I will only make a little less profit. Since I have already achieved my expected returns, it is better to ensure the safety of my profits first.

This year marks the fifth year since I entered the cryptocurrency field. From a complete novice with no investment experience to now being able to rationally manage my own investment portfolio, my biggest realization is not how much money I have made, but rather that I can now face market fluctuations with composure and truly appreciate the joy and sense of achievement that comes with investing.

Recently, in my spare time, I started organizing the scattered digital wallets and used a data analysis platform to scan them. As an investor who has experienced multiple market cycles, I have accumulated several hundred wallet addresses since the DeFi Summer of 2020. Some of these addresses were created to participate in early projects, new coin launches, or claim airdrops, and now I can hardly remember their specific purposes.

I once meticulously created a spreadsheet specifically to record the usage and asset status of each wallet. However, over time, due to untimely updates, the data lost its reference value.

While using a data analysis tool to scan several addresses, I unexpectedly found an LP asset worth about $500 in a long-idle old wallet! These assets originated from a liquidity mining project I participated in early on, but later, due to the project's decline in popularity, I had forgotten about this investment.

This experience made me deeply realize the importance of regularly sorting and analyzing my digital assets. In the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market, the issue of asset fragmentation has become increasingly prominent, and how to effectively manage and track these dispersed assets has become an urgent problem to solve.

For ordinary users, even small assets that seem insignificant can accumulate into a considerable amount of wealth. Therefore, regularly using professional tools for asset scanning and analysis can not only help us recover forgotten assets but also provide us with a clearer understanding of our investment portfolio.

With the continuous development of the Web3 ecosystem, users' on-chain behavioral data is growing exponentially. However, most protocols still rely on account balances to assess user value. This simplified evaluation approach makes it difficult to effectively identify the true value and potential risks behind the addresses, and it also limits the realization of more inclusive financial services.

In the future Web3 world, not only is it necessary to have asset addresses, but also trustworthy addresses. Building a smarter and more refined on-chain credit and identity infrastructure will be key to driving the evolution of Web3 finance from heavy collateral and stringent KYC towards a direction focused on no collateral and behavior.

This experience of recovering small assets has reminded me once again of the importance of regularly organizing digital assets. Whether you are an ordinary user or part of a project, you should pay attention to your on-chain data and behavior analysis. Because in this rapidly developing industry, the small assets forgotten yesterday could be the beginning of tomorrow's surprises.
