Expectation is the endgame.
Various future benefits have already been priced in at the secondary level before they even materialize.
There is no need to wait for good news to land; prices often free fall first.
In recent years, aside from BTC, those who have held onto long-term projects in the crypto space haven't had a good time.

What do you think will happen in the next one or two years?

The imagination for payment is vast, but it seems that everyone is finding ways to handle it themselves.
Suddenly there's a question: If everyone does it themselves, how much of the payment cake can ETH still get?

Stablecoins make it possible for a global version of Alipay to emerge.
This "Alipay" will definitely use its own public chain as the underlying layer, and it is unlikely to be just a simple payment function.
Why does it seem like this matter can still be accomplished by meta in the social field? Whether it's Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook, they previously encountered obstacles with Libra, but developing a public chain using USDC shouldn't be a problem, right?

Harvard University's fund exceeds $50 billion. According to Alibaba's new filing, the Bitcoin holdings are $116 million, while gold is $102 million.

Perhaps your lifelong goal is to establish a successful business, but what ultimately appears on your tombstone are "loving father (mother)", "the partner you loved most in life", and "generous fren", rather than "great CEO".
You will find that what you can't take away are fame and wealth, while what remains are emotions and memories.
