‘Three years ago, I used 5,000 RMB to buy SHIB, and now I’m worth millions!’

‘All-in contracts lead to liquidation; working for ten years to pay off debts…’

The crypto market creates wealth myths every day, but more often, it results in tragic losses. As ordinary people, without insider information or huge capital, how should we correctly participate in this wealth game? This article will combine real cases to show the only feasible path for ordinary people to change their destiny through crypto while avoiding the traps that 99% of people have fallen into.


1. Three ways to make money in crypto (what should ordinary people choose?)

1. Spot investment (most suitable for ordinary people)

Core logic: Buy quality assets at a low price and hold them long-term (1-3 years). Advantages: Risks are controllable, won't go bankrupt to zero.

No need to monitor the market, does not affect normal work

Successful case:

Bitcoin: Buy in 2019 ($3,000), sell in 2024 ($100,000), 33 times return

SOL: Buy in the 2023 bear market ($10), sell in the 2024 bull market ($200), 20 times return. Key strategy:

Only buy mainstream coins in the top 20 by market cap (BTC/ETH/SOL, etc.)

- Dollar-cost averaging instead of All-in (buying in batches with 5%-10% of monthly salary)

2. Contract trading (99% lose money)

Harsh truth:

Exchange data shows that 95% of contract users lose money within three months

100x leverage = liquidation with a 1% price fluctuation

Only two types of people are suitable for contracts:

Professional traders (researching the market for over 8 hours a day) and those willing to lose three accounts to pay tuition

3. Collect airdrops/New listings (best choice with no capital)

2024 real case:

Starknet airdrop: highest value $50,000

EigenLayer airdrop: some users received $20,000

Operation guide:

Focus on interactions with top projects (Layer2, DeFi, Restaking). Cost: time + small gas fees (about 500 RMB). Two, three phases for ordinary people to change their destiny.

Phase 1: Accumulate the first pot of gold (10,000-100,000 RMB)

Core goal: Accumulate principal with low-risk spot trading

Specific methods:

Monthly investment in Bitcoin (500-2000 RMB)

Participate in 3-5 highly certain airdrops (like EigenLayer's later stages)

Phase 2: Seize one bull market (100,000-1,000,000 RMB)

Key actions:

Heavy investment in BTC/ETH at the bottom of a bear market (like in 2023)

Position yourself in altcoins at the beginning of a bull market (like AI, MEME sectors)

Case Study:

Buy ORDI in 2023 ($0.3), sell in 2024 ($60), 200 times return

Phase 3: Preserve wealth (over 1 million RMB)

Bloody lessons:

Many made millions in the bull market of 2021 and lost it all in the bear market of 2022

Survival rules:

Withdraw 50% to real assets (buy a house, stable financial products)

Convert 50% of remaining funds to BTC for long-term holding

Three, five major traps to avoid

1. Blindly believe in '1000x altcoins'

99% of small coins eventually go to zero

Only invest in proven assets like BTC/ETH/SOL

2. All-in leveraged contracts

- Liquidation is inevitable; less than 1% survive

3. Blindly follow 'big shots'

99% of signal providers are scammers; those who genuinely make money won't disclose their strategies

4. Frequent trading

Fees + Slippage eat away 30% of principal in a year

5. Invest key funds*

Borrowing money/using credit cards to trade crypto = suicidal behavior


Four, realistic and feasible action plan

1. Take immediate action:

Register on Binance/OKX, complete KYC

Monthly investment of 500 RMB in BTC (set up automatic deductions)

2. Continuous learning:

Spend 30 minutes a day researching crypto news (recommended to follow major influencers)

Join quality communities (avoid paid groups that exploit newbies)

3. Wait for opportunities:

Boldly buy the dip in the next bear market (expected in 2026)

Be calm during the madness of a bull market and sell off


The crypto market is an opportunity for ordinary people to cross class boundaries, but the prerequisite is to survive.

‘Making money in a bull market relies on luck; making money in a bear market relies on knowledge. When you stop fantasizing about getting rich overnight, wealth will instead seek you out.’
