Huoxun Finance reported on January 24th that LiquidCapital founder Yi Lihua responded to several questions on the X platform, stating: 1. Why is the price of ETH 50 points lower than the previous peak, while the price of BTC is nearly 40% higher? Is a full position in ETH not based on BTC? Firstly, this round is in an interest rate hike cycle. Apart from BTC breaking new highs, other cryptocurrencies have underperformed. These have been the most difficult four years for crypto. However, with the upcoming interest rate cut cycle, we believe a crypto bull market is coming, and ETH's gains will outperform BTC. Historically, in several bull markets, ETH has outperformed BTC. 2. Given the four-year cycle pattern, this time ETH has been consolidating around $3000 for several months. Aren't you worried about the bear market and further declines as some have suggested? We believe that under the DAT model, interest rate cut cycle, crypto policies, and the globalization of stablecoins, the four-year cycle pattern has become invalid. Now is the best time to buy crypto, especially ETH. ETH will be the biggest beneficiary of this bull market. In the previous round, ETH's weakness meant there weren't many applications or opportunities. This time, with the US Treasury bond market maintaining its current stability, the only sustainable opportunity lies in stablecoins, which offer dozens of times the growth potential. There's also the opportunity to put trillions of dollars of assets into on-chain financial services, and ETH is the biggest beneficiary and ecosystem carrier. 3. People are worried about the safety of their positions, especially since our ETH has lending, which is equivalent to leverage. Will there be any danger if the price falls? Don't worry, we have ample preparations and can repay most of the borrowed positions at any time. We've calculated that ETH is absolutely safe above $1000. So don't worry, it's just that each institution has different operational strategies. 4. If we don't buy in large quantities here, won't there be better buying opportunities? Why the rush to buy the dip? We don't have a god's-eye view; we don't know when the bottom will be, nor can we accurately buy at the absolute lowest point. Just like in the last round when Bitcoin was below $20,000, was there any difference between buying BTC at $15,000 and $20,000? I believe no. For us, the core point is that this area is the bottom, and even if we don't buy, the market will. Our size can't influence the trend. 5. What do you think of those KOLs who are shorting, even though they may not have large positions, constantly mocking us as bulls or trying to gain traffic? The market will always be balanced; there will always be both long and short positions. Every opinion is normal, and we don't judge based on position size. We will carefully observe and learn from any objective and logical viewpoints, but we ignore those who use extremely low methods to gain exposure, as they are truly worthless. Especially those KOLs who are still promoting projects and running away with investors' money—everyone has their own survival strategy. 6. Most OGs have retired from the scene. You've been frequently updating Twitter this year, constantly calling for ETH to go long, and even sold at $4500. Was it to get more people to take over, or are you genuinely bullish on ETH? We firmly believe in the long-term value growth of ETH, and we have always been consistent in our words and actions. The only time we cleared out at $4500 was because we analyzed that there was a significant period of risk, and our on-chain operations were transparent and visible to everyone. You can refer to this and make your own judgment. The sale was made to buy more ETH. Anyone who could profit from large price swings would choose this strategy to earn more ETH. There was no question of asking others to take over the losses. ETH is a $360 billion asset. Even though we are one of the world's largest ETH investors, we cannot influence ETH's trend. We are simply following the trend; it will rise regardless of our presence.
