The real killer in the market is not direct crashes, but often those that are indefinitely delayed. Mt. Gox pushing the payout deadline from 2025 to 2026 may seem like it won't immediately break BTC prices, but in reality, it's like a thorn stabbing into the heart of liquidity: no one knows when that supply will hit the market or how much, and this uncertainty makes people uneasy. Hedging positions are closed early, risk appetite sharply declines, and large funds flock into USD assets, waiting passively.
This is the core issue — you're trapped in a torturous "semi-combat state." You can't fully commit your entire position for fear of a sudden supply shock crashing the market; but you can't completely hide either, worried that the market might suddenly take off. You need an asset that can be freely switched, quickly withdrawn, and re-entered at any time. This is the purpose of decentralized stablecoins: to serve as the on-chain "waiting room."
These types of tokens actually have an advantage in long-term uncertainty:
Decentralized with over-collateralization design, avoiding single points of failure like a credit card; PSM mechanisms provide a self-repairing path for price stability; multi-chain deployment ensures USD isn't locked into a single ecosystem, allowing flexible movement across various DeFi scenarios.
To deal with "delayed black swans," the key to capital management is not guesswork, but building a reasonable position structure. Some risk positions continue to play in the market, but core safe funds are first moved into stablecoins to ensure safety. This way, you can calmly adjust positions, add margin, hedge, and wait for opportunities. Once uncertainty is resolved, stablecoins can instantly transform into anything you want; if not, they continue to safeguard your principal.

Wait, Mt Gox has delayed again? This is ridiculous, always hanging a sword over everyone's head. Who would dare to hold a heavy position?

Amazing, isn't this Schrödinger's sell-off? I don't know when it will come to crush you or blow you up.

Wait, Gox is pushed back again? Isn't this just advertising for stablecoins, haha

Can't hold it anymore, another push for Mt. Gox really feels like a ticking time bomb, knowing it might explode but not knowing when.
This round of stablecoins is definitely the antidote; just lying there, you can sleep peacefully.
Wait, the idea you're talking about somehow feels a bit like advertising certain projects.
Go for it! Still have to push; if you're timid, it'll be even harder when the market takes off.
I totally understand this semi-combat state; sitting on the fence is the hardest.

These four characters are absolutely right—this is exactly how I feel right now...
Delays are even more disgusting than a collapse; at least with a collapse, you know clearly in your heart, but when it's delayed, who can handle the suspense?
Stablecoins definitely need to be prepared, but don't rely on them entirely; otherwise, when the opportunity comes, you'll have to sell at the worst moment.
I've also hedged quite a bit before; now I'm just waiting to see who will really crash down.
Fortunately, there are decentralized options; otherwise, I would really have to rust away in USD.
It sounds like I'm advertising stablecoins, but indeed, under this uncertainty, there's no better way to survive...
Half-cash, half-wait—it's torturous, but it's better than going all-in and waiting for an explosion.
Some positions are held, some are in the market—just lying flat like this, anyway, you can't escape.
Mt. Gox really knows how to drag things out; it's not surprising if this gets pushed to 2026.

The phrase "坐立不安" really hits home; that's exactly how it feels.
