As a trader, the core objective has always been to find investment opportunities with high certainty and asymmetric return potential. I'm passionate about uncovering these high-risk-reward trades, such as Solana at $20, Node Monkes at 0.1 BTC (which later rose to 0.9 BTC), Zerebro with a market capitalization of $20 million, and so on.
However, these asymmetric opportunities are becoming increasingly rare. There are many reasons for this, and they collectively constitute a large and thorny problem.
Taking this chart as an example, it shows Zerebro, which soared from a market capitalization of $20 million to a peak of $700 million, delivering a 30x return; however, it also fell 99% from its peak, almost returning to its initial starting point.
