Essentials | 30 Investment Tips in the Cryptocurrency World: Earning Money Relies on Luck, Keeping Money Relies on Principles (Part 2)

In the high volatility and high risk world of cryptocurrency, no one can win forever, but there is a group of people who find it harder to lose. They often rely not on 'talent', but on a set of their own principles and cognitive systems.

16. The so-called 'good news' is driven by expectations before price increases, such as airdrops, staking, and ecosystem expansion.

17. Do not blindly worship anyone; even SBF and Three Arrows Capital can collapse. Only systems and discipline can be relied upon.

18. Trading is not about who is right, but about who lasts longer. Losing less and earning more is what makes a winner.

19. Focusing on a specific track can help you build an advantage, such as GameFi, infrastructure, or social finance.

20. Macroeconomics is important, but don’t fall into the 'big market trap'. Monitoring on-chain capital flows is more practical.

21. Do not make any investment decisions when emotional, drunk, or half-asleep.

22. Stablecoins are not necessarily stable. Diversifying your funds, with a portion in fiat currency, is necessary.

23. Wanting to make big money is not about going all-in, but about long-term, systematic strategies.

24. Establish your own investment system and adhere to it strictly. The system is your biggest confidence.

25. Relying on trading cryptocurrencies for a 100x turnaround is unrealistic; accumulating knowledge, resources, and execution is reliable.

26. The cryptocurrency world loves 'new'—new narratives, new projects, new mechanisms. Investing in new rather than old is a long-term truth.

27. Just understanding crypto is not enough; you need to learn game theory, behavioral economics, and psychology.

28. A truly promising project must have solid fundamentals and be able to tell an appealing growth story.

29. The biggest risk in the cryptocurrency world is 'the unknown'. The backgrounds of project founders, token economic models, and treasury usage methods are all potential landmines.

30. Money earned by luck will ultimately be lost due to insufficient understanding. Cognition determines what you can hold, not how much you earn.

These experiences may seem simple, but many people only understand them after losing money. When you engrave these 30 principles in your mind, every judgment and trade will be steadier and more rational.
