The cryptocurrency market once again highlights that the risk of loss is as significant as the opportunity for profit, making basic 'survival strategies' increasingly important for novice investors.

According to the crypto media outlet Watcher.Guru on April 27 (local time), the cryptocurrency market's extreme volatility and information asymmetry frequently lead to new investors experiencing greater losses than expected.

The first key is volatility management. Bitcoin (BTC) has repeatedly experienced significant price fluctuations in short periods, such as rising to $126,080 in October 2025 and then falling by approximately 40%. However, its cumulative increase since 2013 has reached about 114.63k%, still showing high returns from a long-term investment perspective. Given the nature of the market, a long-term approach is analyzed to be relatively more stable than short-term investing.

The second is avoiding 'blind investing'. Assets that have surged in a short period, like SIREN, launched in February 2025, have seen their upward momentum halted due to a lack of real-world use cases. It is pointed out that rather than blindly chasing assets that surge in the market, it is necessary to verify the project's actual value and structure.

The third is responding to security risks. Various forms of scams, such as rug pulls, wallet hacking, and impersonation, frequently occur in the cryptocurrency market. Damage often arises from clicking links or investing in new projects, making prior information verification and security awareness essential.

Ultimately, the cryptocurrency market is structured with both high-profit opportunities and high risks. Investment performance, therefore, depends more on risk management and information judgment ability than simple timing.
