The Ascending Serpent
Even the most seasoned market analysts struggle to see clearly into the future or predict every twist and turn. The crypto market resembles a vast digital ocean—turbulent, with hidden currents, full of mysterious charm and relentless challenges. It's also like an aging mining rig; no one can guarantee whether it will crash the next second or miraculously mine a treasure worth a fortune.
Looking back at the past year, it has been a monumental one for the crypto industry: Bitcoin experienced brief volatility at the beginning of the year, followed by a strong rally in spring. As summer arrived, market sentiment cooled, volatility increased, and many altcoins saw significant pullbacks. Yet, by year-end, the market surged again, with major cryptocurrencies hitting new highs, creating numerous highlights and delivering substantial returns to investors.
Now, as the Year of the Wood Snake begins, we turn our gaze forward, attempting to unveil the mysteries of the crypto market in the coming year. Every "digital serpent" is quietly shedding its skin, preparing to reveal a transformed self. Whether it's the狂热浪潮 of memecoins, AI-driven blockchain innovation, or new models emerging from DeFi, we'll break them down one by one, revealing their potential and risks over the next twelve months.
Fuxi and Nüwa: The Creation Myth of the Crypto World
Fuxi and Nüwa are Chinese mythological creator deities, their serpentine bodies symbolizing the cycle of life and eternal wisdom. In the world of crypto, their legend serves as a powerful metaphor for blockchain’s evolution.
Fuxi invented the Eight Trigrams, much like blockchain’s technical rules and consensus mechanisms that provide a stable foundation for the ecosystem. Nüwa created humanity, mirroring the birth of innovation and applications—such as smart contracts, DeFi, and AI-powered blockchain projects. The myth of floods and sky-mending parallels the volatility and recovery cycles in crypto markets. Each bear market (flood) drives industrial innovation, just as Nüwa used five-colored stones to repair the heavens, advancing the ecosystem. The serpent’s cyclical nature reflects blockchain’s decentralized, self-sustaining vitality—globally distributed nodes collectively maintain the system, enabling continuous technological iteration.
The story of Fuxi and Nüwa teaches us that technology and innovation must complement each other for the crypto industry to thrive in an endless, self-renewing cycle like the serpent’s body.
On-Chain Snake Year Guide
Serpentine Progress: Stability Amid Opportunities
Welcome to the Year of the Wood Snake! In this hopeful yet uncertain cycle, the crypto industry advances like a slithering serpent, gradually finding new balance after past turbulence. The fable “cup bow, snake shadow” reminds us that fear and doubt in the market often stem from illusions—only rationality and insight can help seize opportunities amid complexity.
Bitcoin Price: Steady Growth, Reduced Volatility
As the “dragon head” of the crypto industry, Bitcoin may exhibit a more stable upward trend during the Snake Year. After last year’s dramatic swings akin to a “dragon swaying its tail,” market sentiment is gradually returning to rationality. This year features strong Wood and Fire elements, followed by Water, then Earth, with Metal being the weakest. The Wood Snake Year emphasizes the flourishing of Wood energy, symbolizing renewal and growth, suggesting Bitcoin could rise steadily amid fluctuations. However, the moderate influence of Water indicates limited liquidity due to weakening expectations of rate cuts, meaning price breakthroughs will require additional external catalysts—such as clearer regulatory frameworks—to drive further adoption by traditional finance and retail investors.
-
Short-term volatility: The start of the Snake Year may bring market adjustments, particularly influenced by macroeconomic and regulatory developments.
-
Medium-to-long-term trend: With rising expectations of regulatory easing and global liquidity, both retail and institutional participation is expected to expand, potentially leading to a clearer bullish trend in the second half of the year.
Born on January 3, 2009, Bitcoin belongs to the Earth element and carries the Ox zodiac sign. Using monthly astrological patterns, we outline Bitcoin’s and the broader crypto market’s movements, trends, and relative shifts. Leveraging theories of the Five Elements’ interactions and Flying Stars, we analyze changes across various crypto protocols, on-chain applications, and investment sectors over the next year, offering strategic advice to help you “attract prosperity and wealth.”
The Ox, forming a tri-combination with the Snake, bodes well for Bitcoin and blockchain development. The industry may receive unexpected support—like a “noble person”—that accelerates progress or opens new frontiers. For instance, the launch of $Trump signals a new phase in regulatory recognition, creating a prime opportunity for crypto to capture mainstream attention and demonstrating geopolitical optimism toward the sector. Still, collaboration remains crucial in the Snake Year; miscommunication could lead to conflict. Financially, Bitcoin investments may yield exceptional returns, but caution is advised against high-risk bets—BTFD wisely and avoid excessive FOMO.
Roosters, ranked first among auspicious zodiac signs this year, will boldly foster cooperation across sectors. The friendship between Rooster and Snake will further stimulate innovation and exploration in crypto. Horses, Rabbits, and Rats will enjoy a radiant year filled with joy and abundance. Oxen, Dogs, Dragons, and Monkeys have decent luck but may face minor setbacks. Conversely, Goats, Pigs, Tigers, and Snakes themselves might experience anxiety and stomach discomfort due to greed.
In the annual feng shui chart, Water is strong again this year, indicating constrained financial liquidity. Macro-level monetary expansion may be limited, benefiting finance-related (Water-element) industries without transformative leaps. Investors should remain cautious regarding interest rate decisions by the Fed and Bank of Japan. However, Wood-element Bitcoin and Fire-element tech sectors will benefit. Wood is strong in the yearly chart and fuels Fire. Though Fire isn’t dominant, robust Wood energizes it—and combined with the ongoing 20-year Li Fire period since last year—tech and telecom (Fire-element) industries will shine.
In blockchain feng shui positioning, sectors symbolizing the “South” or “East” are especially favored this year—more likely to attract capital and user support. “Southwest” and “North” hold latent potential, but avoid the unfavorable “Northeast.” The Southeast is guarded by the Tai Sui deity, while the Northwest suffers from annual clash—requiring special caution.
The arrival of the Wood Snake Year injects fresh vitality into the crypto market. Not only may Bitcoin reach new highs, but altcoins could also see significant rallies. Yet, amid these winding trends, vigilance is key—seeking stability while seizing opportunities allows one to navigate change and grasp personal breakthroughs. While the previous four Snake Years posed challenges, we believe this year will differ. Remember CZ’s famous words: *If you can't hold, you won't be rich.*
Zodiac Forecasts
Snake
2025 presents great challenges for those born in the Year of the Snake, as it is a Tai Sui clashing year—"one joy suppresses three disasters." Whether builders, investors, or community members, expect heightened emotional volatility alongside fluctuations in career, wealth, and relationships. Mindset adjustment is essential, along with extra caution. When negative emotions arise, attending events and traveling may help dissipate bad energy. Those born in spring or summer should head northwest; cold-life命 individuals (born August 8 to March 6) should go southeast to absorb favorable qi. Travel before lunar April—such as Consensus HKG in February or ETH Denver in March—is ideal. Risky investments are not recommended this year; adopt a defensive posture with stable holdings to safely ride out the year.
Though affected by clashing Tai Sui, Snakes benefit from auspicious stars Tian Jie and Jie Shen, which mitigate negative impacts—helping resolve conflicts, reduce emotional swings, and bring relative stability.
Horse
Influenced by the "Xian Chi Peach Blossom," Horses will experience a remarkable romantic year—both intimate and social relationships may see new breakthroughs. Xian Chi suggests sudden connections and equally sudden partings, often fleeting and unstable. The lucky star "Sun" brings male noble-person support, especially in lunar May and November. Increased travel and attendance at industry gatherings are advised—ideal for project founders in consumer-facing applications where networking thrives.
Horses may unlock financial opportunities through enhanced social ties, gaining supplementary income. But such gains tend to be short-term—don’t rely on them. Beware of two inauspicious stars, "Tian" and "Hui," which may derail plans due to sudden disruptions. Avoid chasing market hype at the expense of long-term goals.
Goat
Goats enter a "Tai Sui Remote Union" year—ideal for steady progress, marked by bright spots and distant noble-person support. Builders, BD professionals, and investors who frequently engage internationally will especially benefit. This is a good year to execute global expansion plans. Balance your energy to prevent burnout or emotionally driven decisions.
With strong aesthetic and innovative abilities, and remote union suggesting overseas financial flows, Goats should explore emerging fields requiring distributed communities—such as AI Agents. As the beginning of a "Great Fire" era, cold-life命 individuals (born Aug 8–Mar 6) should boldly pursue new ventures after May 6—like job-hopping or launching projects.
Monkey
Monkeys are typically intelligent, adaptable, and innovative. In 2025, "Tai Sui Punitive Union" means both helpers and adversaries appear—Punishment brings disruptive change, while Union enhances relationships. Romantic life will be dramatic, with high chances of false attractions—observe carefully before committing.
Career-wise, noble-person luck is strong, particularly from influential women—seniors, bosses, or partners. But the "Heavenly Official Seal" star brings disputes—communicate cautiously with collaborators and communities. This isn’t a big wealth year for Monkeys; finances fluctuate. Affected by the "Wang Shen" star, loss of assets is possible—avoid impulsive FOMO trades. Maintain liquidity and stay rational.
Focus on conservative DeFi strategies like staking and lending—avoid decision errors in turbulent times.
Rooster
2025 is a "Harmonious Union" year for Roosters—symbolizing smooth relationships and steady career advancement. This harmony helps gain others' support, avoiding isolation. Boosted by powerful stars "San Tai" and "General Star," Roosters at all levels—from newcomers to executives—will earn greater recognition, especially those eyeing promotions.
Reputation will grow through effort, enhancing personal or project branding and enabling business expansion or fundraising success. The "Jin Kui" star brings solid income. But beware of "Five Ghosts" and "Yin Sha"—stars linked to petty people, legal issues, and team discord. Founders, investors, and influencers should avoid online arguments on X or in communities, and scrutinize contract details to prevent financial losses.
Dog
Dogs glow under the "Hong Luan" star—career and romance advance together. Romance luck tops the zodiac, improving charisma and interpersonal dynamics, making it easier to meet noble persons who indirectly boost careers. Protected by "Yue De" and "Ban An" stars, Dogs overcome adversity, sidestep baseless FUD and market swings, and strengthen influence—ideal for growing project visibility and community size. Any challenge can be resolved smoothly.
However, the "Si Fu" and "Xiao Hao" stars warn of minor illnesses or injuries. After 2024’s major financial loss, 2025 brings only small setbacks—don’t worry about minor spending. Moderately indulging in desired memecoins as fun or micro-investments won’t strain finances and may build momentum for bigger wins ahead.
Pig
Pigs face "Clash with Tai Sui," bringing major shifts in love and career—not necessarily bad, but polarized. Those born Aug 8 to Mar 6 can boldly experiment; others (Mar 6–Aug 8) must proceed with caution. Frequent travel and deep engagement with global communities may unlock new opportunities. Stay open-minded, seek market advantages amid change, but advance steadily—don’t rush. Avoid blind pivots that lead to regret. During market swings, keep optimism. Luckiest wealth lies in liquidity-related areas like DeFi. Influenced by the "Yi Ma" star, relocating teams, registering new entities, or trying remote work can harness this energy effectively.
Rat
2025 isn’t as standout as last year for Rats, but with three powerful stars—"Yu Tang," "Long De," and "Zi Wei"—noble-person support is strong, especially in career. Whether seeking breakthroughs or consolidating past gains, this is a stable, progressive year. Rats should proactively seize key project or partnership opportunities, showcasing expansion and negotiation skills. No major inauspicious stars or clashes mean few unexpected obstacles—yet complacency must be avoided. Overall wealth is medium-high, but risky moves aren’t advised. Be cautious with memecoin speculation and FOMO—opt for stable large-cap investments for longer-term, steadier returns.
Ox
2025 allows Oxen to emerge from last year’s Tai Sui tension into a new chapter. "Remote Union with Tai Sui" enables distant noble-person support, but success depends on personal effort, hands-on work, teamwork, and steady strategy. This union encourages active community involvement, cross-border exploration, or external negotiations—potentially yielding unexpected rewards. The inauspicious "Hua Gai" star paradoxically sparks inspiration—an Ox’s unique advantage this year. As core contributors, developers, investors, or community members, Oxen should contribute ideas generously. Single Oxen may find romance from afar.
Tiger
Clash with Tai Sui brings workplace stress—project delays, communication barriers, and interpersonal conflicts may dominate, making it a turbulent year. "Double Clash with Tai Sui" increases gossip and emotional pressure. Fortunately, blessed by "Fu De" and "Fu Xing" stars, Tigers won’t fight alone—noble persons will assist. But the "Jie Sha" star warns of financial loss through friends—be cautious with money matters. Influenced by "Juan She," verbal disputes are likely—place pink objects in the northwest and a glass of water in the southeast "peach blossom" area to "enhance harmony and dissolve conflict." Tigers must balance risk and stability—cold-life命 individuals have strong career opportunities, especially through external collaborations.
Rabbit
2025 is a "Minor Horse Star" year for Rabbits—Horse Star signifies change. Rabbits enjoy a stable year, progressing steadily in career and relationships—a phase of gathering strength. Cold-life命 individuals (born Aug 8–Mar 6) will enter a golden breakthrough period from summer 2025 to autumn 2028—dare to try when opportunities arise. Spring/summer-born Rabbits should remain patient and stable, avoiding drastic changes. More travel and social events mean higher exposure—avoid overexertion by selectively attending activities and resting well. The "Ba Zuo" star offers great chances to elevate status or reputation in crypto—leverage networking gains from movement this year.
Dragon
2025 is a true "Peach Blossom" year for Dragons, boosted by "Tian Xi" and "Hong Luan" stars—romance and career will flourish. Career-wise, the "Jie Yue" star brings promotion luck, while "Tian Xi" enhances popularity in interactions. Communication, collaboration, and relationship management become smoother, aiding professional growth. Dragons should attend global events—like ETH Denver in February or Token 2049 in September—to expand networks and meet noble persons. In 2025, Dragons soar like flying dragons in crypto, encountering abundant wealth opportunities. Stay calm, stick to proven investment strategies, and solid returns will follow. Watch for lost items and unclear financial arrangements with friends or family.
Sector Spotlight
The Five Elements theory (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water)—a cornerstone of traditional Chinese philosophy—emphasizes mutual generation and restraint among all things. Within the crypto industry, we observe intriguing symbolic parallels across different sectors. The Five Elements offer a framework to interpret these domains both symbolically and functionally.
Metal represents wealth, value, transactions, and exchange—linked to financial tools, trading platforms, and value storage. Metal-sector projects focus on facilitating value flow, trading, and asset preservation, providing core financial services and infrastructure to ensure efficient, stable market operations. Examples: Binance, Hyperliquid, Uniswap.
Wood symbolizes growth, expansion, innovation, and progress—the continuity and development of life. Ethereum’s so-called “midlife crisis” has drawn wide attention. Monad, leveraging parallel execution and high-performance architecture, demonstrates groundbreaking potential in both technical capability and community outreach. Practical social and data infrastructure, especially when integrated with AI, may generate spillover effects and new growth engines. Examples: Monad, Blinks, Vana.
Water embodies liquidity, adaptability, and flexibility—especially the free flow of information and value. Water-type projects center on liquidity optimization, DeFi, and fast asset transfers. These typically feature high liquidity and solid yield fundamentals. Examples: Ethena, Pendle, Aave.
Fire stands for passion, transformation, and momentum—energy release and rapid change. Memecoins, AI Agents, and DeSci are sprouting rapidly, forming mutually reinforcing traffic ecosystems on Solana, Base, and BNB Chain. Examples: Solana, Base, BNB Chain.
Earth signifies stability, foundation, containment, and support. In crypto, Earth represents technically robust, foundational projects that serve as bedrock for the entire industry—supporting the construction and growth of diverse applications. BTC acts as the market’s bellwether; Ethereum’s ecosystem, as pioneer, enables broad application-layer innovation; USDC anchors the dollar-pegged asset system, building stable bridges between DeFi and traditional finance. Examples: BTC, ETH, Circle.
Digital Nomad Destinations Outlook
Post-pandemic, the rapid growth of digital nomads and crypto natives, coupled with recovering capital liquidity, is blending on-chain account freedom with real-world mobility—accelerating the co-evolution of digital nomadism and crypto economies.
Each year, the blockchain industry’s relentless innovation reshapes lifestyles, work models, and investment choices. Cryptocurrency adoption simplifies cross-border payments, redefines production relations, and enables wealth fluidity—granting nomads greater freedom and limitless possibilities. Simultaneously, the rise of crypto economies is attracting new regions, loosening traditional systems’ grip on digital nomads.
In recent years, Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam) and Latin America (Argentina, Colombia) have emerged as hotspots for digital nomads. Their low cost of living and crypto-friendly policies create fertile ground for on-chain lifestyles.
As the new bull market deepens, it’s time to rethink the digital nomad’s Snake Year journey. Whether heading to developer hubs like Palo Alto or New York, or policy-friendly cities like Dubai or Lisbon, global travelers will achieve a better fusion of on-chain freedom and off-chain life.
