In the past few years, you may have heard these words
"Bitcoin + skyrocketed!
"So-and-so speculated and multiplied several times!
"USDT + are circulating in the circle!
But you still haven't entered the market.
It's not that I don't want to, but I feel: it's too complicated, I dare not touch it.
But did you notice?
More and more people around me are quietly entering the circle.
Today's article does not discuss advanced terminology.
Just help you understand:
Why are more and more people quietly entering the circle? Are you really ready?
1. Reality is too competitive, which drives people to the 'crypto space'.
If you have similar confusion:
Deposit interest rates are getting lower, and wealth management is not profitable.
Funds and stocks fluctuate greatly, up and down are exhausting; the real estate cycle has passed, and ordinary people cannot enter.
You are not alone.
The 'safety card' of traditional wealth management
In this era, it's increasingly unsafe.
In the crypto space, even if you only participate with a small amount, it provides several things that traditional fields cannot offer:
Fast liquidity (buy and sell at any time)
Transparent transactions (visible transfers)
Global assets (not restricted by region)
This is the real reason many people quietly turned to the circle.
2. It's not that 'opportunities are too few,' but that you haven't entered yet.
To be honest, many people don't want to understand.
But the first step was already stuck.
"I heard I need to buy USDT, but how do I buy it?
"What is a wallet +?
"Sounds too complicated, I'm afraid of being scammed.
But the reality is
Those who truly make money never wait until everything is understood before starting.
The first step into the circle is not to 'understand all the technology' but to learn to buy the first USDT and master the basic operations.
Once you experience it, you'll find: it's actually not that difficult.
3. The earlier you enter the circle, the earlier you enjoy the dividends.
The crypto space is not a paradise for short-term speculators, but for beginners willing to learn and take small risks, it may be the most worthwhile opportunity in the next ten years.
Bitcoin is not a myth of sudden wealth but an entrance to a re-understanding of 'assets and freedom.'
Now entering the circle is never too late. But continuing to observe may make it increasingly difficult to keep up.
Written at the end
Our generation faces not the question of 'how much money to earn' but whether we can still outpace the inflation and anxiety of this era.
The crypto world + may not be suitable for everyone.
But you should at least understand it,
Then you qualify to reject it.
1. Entering the crypto circle
In the past year, I have been continuously learning and understanding everything about the crypto space. I also started investing a portion of funds in the crypto space since the beginning of this year. Reflecting on these 3 months, there are 3 key time periods: 2 weeks earning 10% -> 2 days losing 30% -> 1 week quickly recovering, the rest of the time was various fluctuations and oscillations.
In the crypto space, I belong to the category of extremely low risk tolerance traders; the coins I buy are all mainstream coins, like BTC, ETH, or SOL; I also buy some meme coins +, but they are also mainstream meme coins, like PEPE and DOGE; in the crypto space, I still adhere to my own trading rules: no leverage, so I don't use contracts;
In this situation of extremely low risk tolerance trading strategies, experiencing a 30% drop in 2 days is common; if the same drawdown occurred in the U.S. stock market, it would definitely be a once-in-a-century stock disaster, but in the crypto circle, while I was surprised and amazed, I was mocked by crypto OGs: you've never seen the world.
When BTC breaks a new high again: I liquidated all the various coins I held, and combined this period of my practical trading in cryptocurrencies and my understanding of the crypto space, I want to talk about which type of investors the crypto space is suitable for.
As I judged myself not to belong to these two types of investors, I chose to exit;
2. Ways for individuals to make money in the crypto circle
In the crypto space, it is possible to really make money; as individuals, there are various ways to make money in the crypto space.
For individuals, the common ways to make money in the crypto space are as follows 7 types:
1. Short-term trading (charting, technical analysis)
2. Contracts (leveraging to go long or short)
3. Speculating on meme coins (like PEPE)
4. HODL value coins + (like BTC)
5. Airdrop farming (new coin launches)
6. DEFI + (Decentralized Finance)
7. Arbitrage (brick moving arbitrage)
Among these 7 ways to make money, apart from HODL value coins, the vast majority of the other 6 types are realized through speculation; by distinguishing these two categories: making money through HODL value coins and other speculative ways, there will be two types of people in the crypto circle: believers and speculators;
3. Believers
1 BTC is worth 11,000 USDT, 800,000 RMB; yet you can't see it or touch it; BTC has no physical form; for those who insist on HODLing BTC for the long term, they must understand the true value of BTC.
First, to understand the value of some cryptocurrencies in the crypto space, you need extremely high cognition; in the crypto space, there are very few people who truly understand BTC, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and WEB3; understanding these comes with a very high threshold.
Secondly, the price fluctuations of BTC or ETH can also be very large; a drop of 30%+ often occurs; if there is no faith in cryptocurrencies like BTC or ETH, you will completely be unable to hold on during the downturn.
In the crypto market, those who truly have faith are the ones who make real money; those who went all-in to buy BTC 10 years ago and HODLed until now must be philanthropists now.
4. Speculators
In the crypto space, there is actually another belief: the belief in altcoins + meme coins, as well as the belief that mainstream cryptocurrencies will go to zero;
99% of cryptocurrencies in the crypto space actually have no value; the cryptocurrency you may buy for 10,000 USDT may not have any real value; these virtual and short-term price fluctuations are often the result of various speculators' participation.
The contracts in the crypto space are the biggest speculative tools: with leverage of 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x; when virtual coins rise by 10%, you can achieve returns of 50%, 100%, 200%, 500%, 1000%; 10,000 quickly turns into 100,000, into 1,000,000; isn't that stimulating?
In the crypto space, there have always been speculators making money, but many speculators have become completely empty in the crypto space.
5. Inspiration for us
Sharing a little story I saw online:
Have you all watched historical dramas? The soldiers climbing the city wall during battles are called the first assailants.
The soldiers climbing the city wall, if they can survive, this is called the achievement of the first assailant; the rewards are very rich, wealth, land, titles, and women, etc.
The premise is that you can survive; but in reality, it's 999 dead and 1 alive; with this probability, many foot soldiers continue to climb up because they know this is their only chance to stand out!
