Space Review | With the market narrative frequently changing amid fluctuations, how can ordinary users find the most stable positioning strategy?

The current crypto market is not only facing ongoing market fluctuations but also experiencing frequent shifts in narratives. From AI to RWA, from DePIN to Meme, each wave of new narratives brings both opportunities and noise. Ordinary users often find themselves at the tail end of the information flow, witnessing the market surges and concept rotations, yet struggling to “get on the surfboard” before the wave truly arrives.

Against this backdrop, the recent SunFlash roundtable discussion organized by SunPump revolved around a core issue: how ordinary users can escape the dilemma of blindly following trends amidst market fluctuations and accelerating narratives, and find truly robust positioning strategies? During this discussion, a key idea gradually became clear: rather than chasing every fleeting market hotspot, it is better to return to the essence and focus on infrastructures that possess sustainable ecological momentum and real application scenarios. For instance, the public chain ecosystem of TRON, which supports important sectors such as stablecoins, DeFi, AI, Memes, and cross-border payments with efficient, low-cost, and powerful infrastructure, is increasingly becoming the foundational choice for more and more users to build robust configurations during uncertain periods.

This discussion delves deep from narrative prediction, strategy execution to asset allocation, attempting to build a practical and sustainable participation framework for users in the rapidly changing encryption world.

As the narrative accelerates, is there still a possibility for ordinary users to “carve out a position in advance”?

Narrative acceleration, is there still a possibility for ordinary people to have an “early positioning” opportunity? For this core question, the guests provided various yet enlightening answers, addressing how each investor can find a suitable “positioning” posture under different risk preferences and resource endowments.

First, guest Davin.eth holds a relatively conservative view, believing that ordinary users no longer need to be obsessed with “early positioning.” He points out that leading players, quantitative institutions, and venture capitalists have an absolute advantage in information, resources, and speed, making it difficult for ordinary users to ambush at the bottom. Therefore, he prefers to suggest that investors maintain patience and observe, and after the market trend begins to take shape, analyze the flow of funds and fundamentals to select targets that can withstand market tests and maintain a strong position after the narrative explosion.

Guest 0xOldMaster holds a more optimistic attitude. He believes that opportunities are still clear, and the key lies in the approach. The disadvantage of ordinary users is not speed, but rather that they “fundamentally don't know what they are stuck on.” His proposed breakthrough idea is to abandon the blind chase of all hot spots and instead focus deeply on the areas they are most familiar with, establishing a cognitive advantage in the directions they excel in. “Positioning is not about speed, but about understanding,” he summarized, “as long as you understand, you will always be half a step ahead of the market.”

Davin.eth provides a pragmatic supplement from the perspective of capital size. He believes that a sound position management strategy is more suitable for investors who have already accumulated a certain amount of capital. For large funds, he thinks there are not many high-certainty options, mainly Bitcoin and a few wealth management opportunities, such as earning stable annual returns by staking USDD stablecoins. This method has controllable risk and is an optimal choice for conservative allocation. As for other coins like hot coins and meme coins, he believes that one can only participate with small positions, achieving “small bets for big gains” without affecting the overall assets.

How can ordinary users build a robust asset allocation in a volatile market?

When discussing specific strategic aspects, the guests provided comprehensive suggestions from the perspectives of asset allocation, position management, and mindset adjustment.

Guest Qiweng proposed a strategy of “logical layout, controllable risks”: first, filter out noise and focus on core value narratives supported by real technology and demand, such as AI+Web3, RWA, and L2; second, adopt a small position trial-and-error approach, gradually increasing the position by allocating 10%-20% of idle funds to thoroughly researched leading projects, and then adding in batches after the narrative is implemented and data is validated.

When building a specific configuration framework, guest Dark Circles emphasized the key role of the “core-trend-flexible” three-layer pyramid asset structure in a volatile market:

Core Warehouse: Configured in leading infrastructures, stablecoins, or protocols that generate real income, such as TRON (波场). The characteristics of these assets are “gains are profits, losses can be averaged down,” which can effectively stabilize investors' mindset and the basic asset structure.

Trend position: used to participate in trend tracks such as AI, RWA, and L2, which are supported by real demand. He suggests adopting an “engage but not obsess” attitude and setting a clear stop-loss line (e.g., exit if it drops 20%) to control risk.

Flexible Position: Used for short-term trading or exploring early projects. He specifically pointed out that the purpose of this part is not to get rich quickly, but to maintain sensitivity to the market, keeping losses within an acceptable range, and profits are considered a bonus.

Teacher LongTian emphasized the importance of “staying true to fundamentals.” She believes that regardless of how trends shift, the underlying logic of the market remains unchanged; it is always the assets with solid ecosystems and real value that can deliver long-term returns. She suggests that users firmly hold onto core value positions, such as mature ecosystems and robust data like the TRON infrastructure, rather than being swayed by market trends. At the same time, she stresses the need to strictly adhere to position discipline and invest the majority of funds in solid assets.

Faced with the dazzling narrative switches, the core strategy of the guests pointed to the “core + satellite” asset allocation philosophy: anchoring the core part of assets steadily on underlying networks that can withstand cyclical tests and continuously generate real value and cash flow, thereby building a “ballast” for wealth; at the same time, using a small portion of funds as “satellites” to flexibly yet disciplinedly explore new narratives, so as to not miss out on cutting-edge market opportunities while controlling risks.

When allocating assets, it is crucial to choose leading infrastructure like the TRON ecosystem that has long-term certainty. This ecosystem provides users with a variety of asset appreciation channels through diversified protocols, allowing users to maintain a stable core position while making different levels of appreciation strategies based on their own risk preferences, achieving sustainable returns while keeping overall risk under control.

In terms of stablecoin yields, users can earn approximately 12% annualized returns by staking USDD or store USDT on the JustLend DAO platform to achieve a stable return of about 4.16%. These methods are simple to operate, have controllable risks, and can serve as a ballast for asset allocation. For deep participants in the TRON ecosystem, staking TRX can yield about 7% annualized returns, while participating in liquidity mining on the SunSwap decentralized exchange by providing liquidity for the TRX/USDD mainstream trading pair can result in even higher earnings. Additionally, the TRON ecosystem also includes decentralized perpetual contract platforms like SunX, which provide professional tools for users seeking advanced strategies for risk hedging and leveraged returns.

In summary, in the rapidly changing tides of the market, ordinary investors would be better off focusing on building their own robust investment systems rather than exhausting themselves chasing every fleeting narrative wave. As highlighted in the core discussion of this roundtable: true “positioning” does not lie in predicting the rise and fall of every hotspot, but in establishing a set of asset allocation frameworks and investment disciplines that can withstand cycles and resist risks.
