Founder of LD Capital: Wall Street Will Eventually Figure Out the Crypto Market, Bitmine Is Currently Going Through a Period of Growing Pains

[Crypto World] Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua recently shared a pretty interesting viewpoint—he said that the Wall Street crowd will definitely figure out how to play the crypto market in the end.

He specifically mentioned Bitmine’s current situation, saying the company is just like Strategy back in the day, now going through a painful transition period. But he’s also optimistic that beyond the treasury model, other approaches will emerge that can make crypto investing work in the capital markets.

The data really tells the story: Bitmine has amassed nearly 3.87 million ETH, worth over $12 billion, but is sitting on an unrealized loss of almost $3.1 billion. In comparison, Strategy is holding more than 660,000 BTC, worth close to $60 billion, with an average cost of $74,696 per BTC and now has over $10 billion in unrealized gains.

One is stubbornly holding on despite huge paper losses, while the other is making a killing on paper—quite a dramatic contrast. But at the end of the day, who can really predict market cycles?

Wall Street wants to fully grasp the crypto cake, but it's not that easy. It still depends on who has a steady mindset.

Wall Street will eventually have to bow, but the prerequisite is that the crypto circle must survive and make it until that day.

ngl, bitmine's correlation matrix is basically a dumpster fire rn... 31B in underwater positions while microstrategy's just vibing with 100B+ unrealized gains? that's not austerity, that's just poor risk management dressed up as "accumulation" lol. wallstreet will def figure this out eventually but watching these players blow up their leverage ratios in real time is *chef's kiss* honestly

Wall Street will have to kneel sooner or later; the question is whether we can hold out until that day.

Bitmine really had it rough this time. Even with 3.87 million ETH, they still lost 3.1 billion. It really just came down to bad timing.

Wait, did Bitmine lose 3.87 million ETH and $3.1 billion? What kind of black swan event would it take for that to happen... If Wall Street is really coming in, are they buying the dip this time or stepping on a landmine?

Haha, Yilihua's view isn't baseless after all. Sooner or later, that Wall Street financial system will have to bow to Bitcoin. Bitmine's $3.1 billion loss is really unsustainable, but things are booming over at Strategy. By the way, that cost price of 74,696 is just unbelievably lucky. But then again, who can guarantee that the treasury model will definitely work? The crypto market changes way too fast.

3.87 million ETH lost 3.1 billion... How bad did this entry point have to be? Did Strategy also tough it out like this back then?
