Cracks in the Decentralized-AI Bloc: Why Ocean Protocol Walked Away from the ASI Alliance
One-Year Marriage, One-Day Divorce On 9 October 2025 the Ocean Protocol Foundation abruptly resigned from the Artificial Super-intelligence (ASI) Alliance, dissolving the token-merge pact it had signed barely eighteen months earlier with Fetch.ai, SingularityNET and, later, CUDOS. The departure is more than a personnel change: it unwinds roughly 81 % of OCEAN’s circulating supply that had already been converted into FET (now rebranded ASI) and forces the remaining bloc to re-imagine what “dec...

When the Chat Goes Silent “The bull is back, so why are all the Telegram groups dead?” asked user CheesyMac in the Opensky community. “Because everyone’s either in cash or short,” replied Niner. For veterans like Niner, the current run should have been a goldmine. Yet, like many, he admits: “I haven’t made a dime.” Johhny, a full-time trader, echoes the sentiment: “Ever since Trump launched TRUMP, I’ve been bleeding.” They are not outliers.

A Journey of Growth and Evolution Amidst Turbulence
In the recent market turmoil, Bitcoin has plummeted by over 20%, Ethereum has dropped nearly 30%, and many altcoins have experienced a staggering 70% decline. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the market, such dramatic fluctuations can catch anyone off guard. It is safe to say that this market shake-up is not an isolated experience but a collective ordeal faced by the entire crypto world.
Everyone Is Bleeding, Not Just You
When prices are in free fall, it is natural for many to feel anxious and helpless. I myself have suffered significant losses, and despite having been through bull and bear cycles in the past, each major downturn still tightens the chest. The market's decline brings not only a reduction in numbers but also a heavy blow to faith and emotions. We are accustomed to the fast pace of the market, where the euphoria during rallies and the panic during downturns are almost routine. However, this time, the intense volatility has made everyone feel the weight and helplessness of losses. No matter how you adjust your positions, the pain felt in this wave is shared.
First, Stop and Take Care of Yourself
Market fluctuations can be overwhelming, and many people, driven by panic, rush to take action in an attempt to quickly recoup their losses. At this moment, the most crucial step is not to figure out how to quickly recover your losses but to learn to pause and regulate your emotions. Please turn off those constantly refreshing candlestick charts, step away from social media, and avoid letting the noise and negative news further disrupt your state of mind. Give yourself a period of rest, enjoy a warm meal, get enough sleep, or take a leisurely walk to allow your body and mind to rest and reset. Only when you have regained your calm can you have a clear judgment to face the market again.
Reboot by Disconnecting, Starting with Your Body and Mind
Sometimes, the simplest adjustments can bring about the most significant changes. Pausing the flow of information that causes anxiety and focusing on basic daily routines is an essential first step to climb out of an emotional low. Try to spend a whole day away from computer and phone screens, giving yourself a chance to "go offline." When you put down your phone, close your eyes, and quietly feel the rhythm of your breathing, that sense of inner peace will gradually help you regain your inner strength. As we often say, only by repairing your body and mind first and then addressing the numbers in your account can you truly emerge from the valley.
Calmly Review and Rationally Face Losses
Once your emotions have stabilized, take out paper and pen and thoughtfully reflect on and review this trading journey. This step is not about indulging in self-blame and regret but about identifying the root causes of the losses. In this process, you can ask yourself: Was the position too heavy? Did I ignore the stop-loss settings? Did I blindly follow the trend and chase gains? Or did I place too much trust in unverified information? Write these reflections down specifically, recording every lesson and insight. This is not only a way of self-growth but also helps you avoid repeating the same mistakes in future markets. Although losses are painful, only by learning from them can you seize the next market opportunity.
Rebuild from the Basics, Step by Step
The most urgent task now is not to rush to find new profit opportunities but to establish a stable and orderly lifestyle. Adjust your daily routine, ensure adequate sleep and a healthy diet, and maintain moderate exercise. These seemingly ordinary daily habits will lay a solid foundation for rebuilding your inner self and trading system. When you can return to a regular routine, the restlessness and panic in your heart will also gradually subside. Rebuilding yourself is not just about re-entering the market; it is about starting from the most basic details of life to become stronger and more composed.
Regroup and Focus on What You Can Control
Although you cannot control the market's direction, you can certainly control your learning and thinking. Try to thoroughly review each of your past trades and carefully study the reasons behind their successes or failures. At the same time, pay more attention to on-chain data tools such as Nansen and DeBank to obtain first-hand information and data support. Additionally, you can monitor the movements of large accounts or "whale addresses" to understand their investment strategies and operational logic. Through continuous learning and accumulation, you will gradually realize that rationality and data are far more powerful than temporary emotions in determining your investment outcomes. True winners are not just those who seize opportunities in volatility but those who continuously improve their cognitive levels in calm times.
Remember: Don't Rush to Win It Back
Under the stimulus of losses, many people are eager to recoup their losses and hope to quickly recover the lost funds. However, this is often a path to self-destruction. The urge to quickly recover can trap you in a vicious cycle of high leverage and frequent trading, which may ultimately deplete your account. What you need most at this moment is calmness and patience, not blind following of trends. Wait for the market to regain rationality and for the signals to truly clarify before making decisive moves to effectively avoid the risks of impulsive trading. Truly smart investors know how to stabilize their emotions during volatile periods and wait for that crucial best moment to act.
Growth Through Pain, Cognition Makes You Stronger
After experiencing this market洗礼, you will find that pain eventually turns into valuable wealth. The market's low point allows you to see your own shortcomings and understand the importance of steady progress. Perhaps you are moving slower now, but each future decision will be more calm and rational. You will learn how to grasp long-term opportunities instead of pursuing profits in every single trade. It is in such adversity that you grow more resilient and perceptive, gradually rediscovering your own value and beliefs.
If You Persist, You Are Already Ahead
When you finish reading these words, it means you have chosen to stay with the market instead of giving up completely due to temporary setbacks. Compared to the 90% who choose to quit, you already have more courage and perseverance. Losses are not your entire identity but the process of how you face and learn from them. It is these experiences that will ultimately make you a mature, rational, and more capable investor to deal with market fluctuations.
Slow Down, Adjust, and the Future Holds Infinite Possibilities
The market will have its ups and downs, and you will grow with each fluctuation. Remember that a stable mindset and continuous cognitive improvement are the keys to your long-term success. Keep your eyes on the long term, and when you have completed your self-adjustment and cognitive upgrade, the next opportunity will surely come quietly. At that time, you will stand at the peak of the market with a more composed and determined posture, welcoming a brighter future.
