I've played ICOs, mining, and meme coins; I've made money and lost money, jumping back and forth. But in the end, I found that those who can truly make stable profits in this market rely on one simple rule: buy in bear markets, sell in bull markets.
Sounds too simple, right? But very few can actually do it.
💡 First, clarify: What is a bull and bear cycle?
A bull market usually lasts six months to a year, while a bear market can last 12 years. A complete cycle takes about 34 years.
As long as you can grasp this rule, achieving 50%+ returns in each bull market is not difficult—it’s crucial that you can endure the loneliness of a bear market and avoid mistakes in a bull market.
📌 Follow these five practical steps to avoid pitfalls and earn steadily:
① Be patient in bear markets.
No one talks about BTC, the community is silent, even trading platforms are laying off?
That's right, this is the opportunity to pick up chips. You don't need to guess the lowest point; entering in batches and dollar-cost averaging into mainstream assets is the correct approach.
② Heavily invest only in coins that 'live long'.
BTC/ETH: Core assets in the crypto world, each cycle sees a rebound.
BNB and other platform coins: Backed by exchanges, they have strong resilience.
SOL/AVAX and other public chains: Consolidate in bear markets, explode in bull markets.
MATIC and other infrastructure coins: Not fast, but stable.
🚫 Avoid consensus coins (like Dogecoin, SHIB); speculation can lead to a significant loss, keeping your position under 10% is just for entertainment, don't treat it as your main focus.
③ In the mid-stage of a bull market, sell when you should.
Still dreaming of 'doubling' again? Then you're probably stuck.
Remember:
Early stage: BTC, ETH slowly climb
Mid-stage: Mainstream takes off completely
Later stage: Altcoins surge, mainstream stagnates
Finale: BTC plummets, bull market ends
📉 Not selling at the end means giving others the chance to take over.
④ In a bull market, don't get overexcited; avoid altcoins.
Every bull market brings countless new projects and hundredfold coins, but most of these coins lack fundamentals, only hype.
You can test the waters, but don't go all in. Using profits to chase rising prices will most likely lead to losses.
⑤ Capital first, prioritize survival.
The scariest part of losing money isn't the loss itself, but the unwillingness to admit mistakes.
In a bear market, cut losses to preserve capital; at most, lose half; if you hold on until it goes to zero, it's truly gone.
After cashing out in a bull market, calmly wait for the next bear market—don't try to catch the bottom in a middle phase, and don't impulsively increase your position during a hype.
📣 Conclusion
The crypto world isn't about who is smarter, but who has more restraint.
Accumulate coins in bear markets, cash out in bull markets; understanding cycles and maintaining rhythm is the long-term strategy that can cross bull and bear markets.
🚀 If you want to go far, don't go alone recklessly.
Follow the right people, use the right methods, and learn from experienced players; we're not gambling on luck, but walking on probabilities.
Continue to focus on BTC, ETH, BNB, reject short-sighted trading, and you can truly achieve a rebound when the next bull market arrives.
