Why has it become harder to make money in the crypto world now?

Fundamental reason: The market has matured, and players have become stronger.

In the past, simply buying some altcoins and waiting for a bull market could earn you 5-10 times your investment, but it's different now—professional institutions have entered the market, and their goal is stable returns (for example, being satisfied with 30%), rather than driving prices up to make you rich.

How to make money now?

1. Lower expectations and proceed steadily

Arbitrage, claim airdrops, accumulate tokens

Don't fantasize about “hundredfold coins,” institutions won't pump prices like previous project teams did.

2. Keep up with market trends

Hot topics in the past two years: AI, Meme, SOL ecosystem, stablecoin narratives.

3. Adjust trading strategies

Try to focus on right-side trading

You must align with the rhythm of the larger cycle (only trade when the big trend is upward, otherwise you risk buying at the wrong time).

Summary

It used to be about luck, now it's about knowledge + execution.

Either spend time researching (claiming airdrops, arbitrage), or closely watch hot topics for quick entries and exits—don't expect to “earn passively” anymore.
