For entrepreneurs starting from zero, the situation is an empty slate. No family legacy to build upon, and no capital for trial and error. Every move must be precise, each one a lifeline rather than a leisure move.

Those with resources may play chess to add luster to their existing advantages; while those starting from nothing, their first move is to carve out a survival space from desolation. Capital, connections, market windows—these heavy chips require youthful vigor and innate courage to gradually accumulate. A single misstep can cause the entire game to collapse; one careless move might mean starting over from scratch.

The style of play forged in this situation appears simple but is actually quite fierce. Every move concerns life and death, every action is a gamble. The caution and decisiveness that outsiders find hard to understand stem from an inner clarity: the starting point is zero, and before the final placement, there is no retreat. The weight of this move is equivalent to the weight of life itself.

Looking at the cyclical patterns in the crypto world, 2026 will be another window of opportunity. Whether you are a seasoned player or a newcomer exploring the scene, that unwavering pursuit of dreams is worthy of respect. We are no longer young, yet we still ride the waves in this market storm. May every dreamer make a brilliant move in the new year's game.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost—that's our rule of the game.

That's right, starting from zero means you have to go all in; there's no other way. Really, one wrong step and it's all over; the crypto world is even harsher. A low starting point actually keeps you clear-headed because there's really nothing to fear anymore, haha. 2026 is here, it's our turn now. Every move is a gamble; I'm used to it. If you lack resources, you have to be ten times faster than others—that's the strategy. Whatever this cycle offers, grab it; don't be picky. Finding the right balance between caution and madness is the key to winning.

It sounds nice, but my five years of experience with contrarian indicators tell me— the more someone claims to be "accurate," the faster they tend to fail. Is one bad move enough to cause a total collapse? Bro, I've had the whole game fall apart before.

Starting from zero really feels like walking a tightrope with no backup plan.

Hmm... That's quite sobering. Starting from zero really is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

The phrase "Starting from zero" really hit me. When there's truly no way out, you can actually be more ruthless.

If I had gone all in back in 2021, there's no room for regret now...

That's right, starting from zero indeed makes every step a gamble with life, with no way back. Without capital to try mistakes, you have to use your brain to the fullest, or you'll truly lose everything. 2026 is here, those who should get on the train still need to do so, or they'll regret it even more. People starting from zero actually live the clearest lives because they can't afford to lose. The current window period in the crypto circle is again here, let's see who can stick it out until the end. It's truly difficult, but the difficulty lies in no one being able to help you; you have to bear it all yourself. Those who survive under this pressure truly understand what it means to have a way out. Starting from zero makes you the most ruthless because there's nothing to lose. If you don't move in 2026, you'll really be out, I give in. Every step is a life-and-death line; this is the real market education.

Really, that sense of despair starting from zero... I understand that feeling of one wrong step and everything's over. The pressure is much greater than that of wealthy people.
