First, you need to have the right investment opportunities. The volatility of the coin circle is immense; the right choices can lead to huge returns. For example, some coins can increase several times in a short period.
Opportunities in the coin circle may be fleeting, requiring enough patience and persistence to continue holding until you see profits.
This method is also one that I have personally tested: from February to March 2025, in one month, I turned 5000 into 100,000! The profit ratio reached 2108.17%!
When you have 100,000, you're on your way to 1,000,000! (It may take about 1 to 4 years.) How much can 100,000 capital earn in the bull market? If you only play spot trading and avoid complex things like contracts, airdrops, NFTs, new launches, and meme coins, then this article is for you. I will give you a simple, low-risk idea to help you seize the opportunity in the bull market steadily.
1. Holding coins: the simplest and most stable strategy.
If you don't want to fuss and just want to earn steadily, then holding coins is the best choice. Holding coins simply means buying mainstream coins and patiently waiting for the bull market to arrive. How specifically? You can split your 100,000 capital in half, buy Bitcoin (BTC) with one half and Ethereum (ETH) with the other half.
Why choose these two coins? Because they are the 'big brothers' in the coin circle, highly recognized in the market and with strong safety. Although their prices also fluctuate, the risks are much lower compared to other altcoins. According to historical data, the increase in BTC and ETH during bull markets typically reaches about 10 times. This means that if you invest 100,000 now, it could turn into 1 million during the bull market!
The key to holding coins is simply two words: patience. Don't be swayed by short-term fluctuations; hold firm and wait to sell when the bull market arrives. It's simple, saves effort, and can yield considerable returns, so why not?
2. Altcoins: high risk, high reward.
If you think the gains from BTC and ETH are not stimulating enough and you want to pursue higher returns, then you can consider investing in altcoins. Altcoins refer to those non-mainstream, low market-cap cryptocurrencies. Their gains can often be astonishing, with some even multiplying dozens or hundreds of times during a bull market.
But be aware that the risks of altcoins are also very high. You might invest 10,000 yuan and end up losing it all, but you might also earn hundreds of thousands. Therefore, when investing in altcoins, be sure to diversify your investments and not put all your money into one coin. You can choose a few promising altcoins and invest a small portion in each, so even if one or two fail, the success of the others can offset the losses.
For example, if you invest in 10 altcoins, putting 10,000 yuan into each, and one of the coins rises 100 times, then you can make a profit of 1 million, even if the other nine coins go to zero, you still have a decent return.
But do not forget, the success rate of altcoins is extremely low. In the last bull market, coins like SHIB, DOGE, LUNA, MANA, and SOL, only a few truly made it from start to finish. Most people only got off halfway, and some even lost everything. Therefore, investing in altcoins must be cautious and not hold unrealistic fantasies.
3. Investment mentality: patiently wait and protect the principal.
In the coin circle, mindset is very important. Many people see altcoins rising quickly and can't help but want to go all in, but often overlook the risks. In the last bull market, many hundredfold coins did exist, but very few made it from start to finish. Most people were shaken out halfway.
Therefore, when investing, you must have a sense of capital and risk awareness. Don't invest all your money, and definitely don't borrow money to invest. Remember, those who don’t spend their money are the real wealthy. Investment is a marathon, not a sprint. Only those who wait patiently can ultimately reap substantial rewards.
4. Long-term holding: holding on is the key to victory.
In the coin circle, holding on is very difficult. Many people rush to sell as soon as the price rises a little, missing out on even greater gains later. Only those who truly treat Bitcoin as a belief asset can hold on.
You can ask yourself: if you have 20,000 yuan, would you prefer to hold cash or exchange it for coins? Many people will feel a sense of security and satisfaction after exchanging, because they know that this could potentially turn into more money in the future. Firmly holding on and not letting go is the key to victory.
5. Summary: simple operations, firm execution.
Finally, let's summarize today's share. In the bull market of the coin circle, making a lot of money with a capital of 100,000 is not impossible, but you need to have a clear strategy and strong execution. Holding coins is the simplest and safest method, suitable for most investors; while investing in altcoins is suitable for those willing to take higher risks in pursuit of higher returns.
No matter which strategy you choose, remember one thing: investment does not favor those who lack patience. Don't complicate things too much; keep it simple—buy and hold. If you have money, buy more, and sell during the bull market. Only then can you truly seize the opportunities in this bull market.
If you feel you can’t learn fast enough on your own, you must find an experienced person to guide you quickly! The coin circle is deep, and going solo can easily lead to pitfalls. Having someone to guide you can help you avoid detours and seize opportunities more quickly. Time waits for no one, and neither does the bull market; act quickly and execute firmly!
What strategies are there for national currency?
First, don’t hold too many types of coins; try to keep it to no more than six. Aim to hold three to four super mainstream coins that are unlikely to disappear in the next few years. If you really can’t choose or don’t know how, just hold Bitcoin.
Second, holding coins should be moderately diversified. Don't just hold one type; you can choose three to six to avoid black swan events.
Third, when holding coins, refer to the types held by large holders, as they carry some reference value. Many of these large holders are veterans from 2012 to 2013 with experience.
Fourth, try to choose a dollar-cost averaging method for holding coins, starting to average in during long-term low-volatility periods of Bitcoin or at the beginning of its upward trend, and try to avoid falling trends.
Fifth, have a pessimistic expectation when holding. Holding during the bear or early bull market is about buying on dips and being trapped, so you need to keep a long-term perspective for the big harvest in two years. Therefore, try to use spare money that won’t affect your life. Even Bitcoin could drop 40% to 80%, which is possible. But as long as you hold Bitcoin, there will be a day when it rebounds.
Sixth, don't use leverage when holding coins, or use very little leverage. The leveraged contracts offered by centralized exchanges are filled with unfairness and insider trading. Those who hold coins should avoid using leverage, as it can easily lead to sudden liquidations. If you must use leverage, ensure it’s spot leverage.
The three things that long-term holders dread the most.
1. Step in place; the price of national currency is too high.
To hold long-term, having a good mindset is very important. If you are not doing dollar-cost averaging but rather building a position at a high point all at once, no matter how you comfort yourself that it's a long-term investment, the anxious feelings before incurring floating losses are still hard to shake off.
2. Self-doubt, giving up halfway every bear market.
The number of people entering the market is particularly small. Even if Bitcoin's asset value 'halves' or 'drops', the number willing to buy Bitcoin at three thousand dollars is far less than those willing to buy at ten thousand dollars. Dollar-cost averaging also faces difficulties. In such situations, the biggest problem is not the bear market but whether entering was a result of your own thinking or influenced by 'success stories' from big shots or friends. For long-term investors, it is essential to have your own views, execute according to plan, not fear going against the tide, assess the situation, and incorporate your understanding into your judgments, ultimately verifying your cognition through operations.
3. Improper storage, lost keys.
Many long-term holders have eventually forgotten their private keys. Although Bitcoin is valuable now, millions of Bitcoins have become irretrievable for various reasons.
The difference between trading markets and national currencies is like the difference between short-term and long-term stock trading. If you have a good stock, holding it long-term actually carries less risk compared to short-term trading. Holding Bitcoin long-term is likely to be profitable. Short-term trading, on the other hand, carries high risks and can lead to total loss. That's why we say 'trading coins is not as good as holding coins'. Trading coins refers to short-term transactions in the secondary market, while national currency involves buying low and selling high in the secondary market.
Regarding my own experiences, divided into four stages along the timeline.
First stage (2016-2017). The ignorant are fearless; making money until losing reason. Entered the coin circle in 2016 (started getting involved in 2013), catching the great bull market of 2017, with a capital of 100,000 peaking over 10 million. Two coins left a deep impression: one was Public Trust (GXS), participating in a private placement of 2 BTC when BTC was 6000 each, and it opened at 3 million. The other was AntShares (later renamed NEO), buying 10,000 coins at a price of one yuan each, which peaked over 1000, meaning a single coin exceeded a million. Then I became complacent, feeling invincible, thinking of setting a small goal to earn a billion first, and when I earned a billion, I would quit. Then... then it became a story of 'a person filled with desire, feeling invincible, being taught a harsh lesson by the market'.
Second stage (2018-2019). Reflecting on oneself and starting anew. The market entered a downward cycle in 2018, and looking at my hands full of altcoins and a bleak future, my mood hit rock bottom, and I would curse myself every day. But the market will not open a back door because of your suffering. Therefore, this stage is more about self-reflection and understanding the market. After a period of adjustment, I realized two truths: first, no one is superior to anyone else; we are all ordinary people. The reason I made money in 2017 was not because I was brilliant but because the market was too good, and I was just lucky to be on the trend, in simple terms, a pig on the wind of opportunity—taking off was inevitable. The second truth is about controlling funds. Small capital has its own way of playing, and large capital has its own way. You cannot use the mindset of small capital to play with large capital, or you will suffer greatly. After realizing this, I tidied up my mood and reallocated my holdings, clearing out most altcoins for BTC, ETH, and USDT.
Third stage (2020-2021). Reasonable allocation and timely profit-taking. After a complete bull market, the mindset is relatively much more peaceful. Additionally, the coin circle has entered another rising cycle, so assets begin to appreciate continuously. At this time, what you do more is to take profits and keep reallocating. Therefore, it is relatively less intense than in 2017. Maybe it’s because I’m older, I feel that a peaceful and simple approach is truly the way to go.
Fourth stage (22-?). Cultivating internal skills and believing in the future. I am deeply convinced about the future of the coin circle, and surpassing previous highs is inevitable. Right now, we only need to do one thing: don't exit the market, persist in holding quality assets, and we will surely reap abundant rewards in the future. From this, I have also drawn a profound conclusion.
Anyone who writes down their personal experiences certainly has vitality, regardless of whether the words themselves are beautiful. I am grateful to the thousands of readers for their sincere messages and blessings. Therefore, I will share my accumulated insights on trading coins with everyone.
Having traversed the market for many years, I am well aware of the opportunities and traps within it. If your investments are not going well and you feel unwilling to accept losses, leave a 999 in the comments! I will share insights.
