Making money in crypto is not about easy gains, but about using cognition to crush market emotions. Below are the practical rules summarized by the captain through blood and tears.
One, Must-Know Technique for Beginners: Use spare money to roll out the first bucket of gold
1️⃣ Regular Investment Weapon
Invest in BTC + ETH on payday each month (increase investment when down over 10%), using market fluctuations to average down costs 57. For example: In the 2022 bear market, investing weekly in BTC resulted in over 300% returns in the 2024 bull market 3.
Key Formula: (Principal × Time) ÷ Emotional Control = Compound Interest Explosion
Iron Law: Only invest money you can afford to lose, no borrowing!
2️⃣ Arbitrage Blitz
If the cross-platform price difference > 3%, arbitrage immediately, focusing on Japanese and Korean exchanges (like Upbit, Bithumb) and Binance price differences. Example: In April 2024, SOL was priced at an 8% premium on Upbit, allowing arbitrageurs to earn over 50,000 a day 23.
Tools: Use ‘Non-small Number’ for real-time price comparison, spend 10 minutes a day operating, and earn over 3000 in pocket money monthly 2.
3️⃣ Free Airdrop
Zero-cost farming new project benefits, such as following the official Twitter + retweeting, and depositing 1000U into the designated wallet. In 2024, there will be an NFT airdrop of 50 tokens, which will rise to 5000 yuan after 3 months.
Avoid pitfalls: Anyone asking you to pay upfront is a scammer!
Two, Advanced Players: Understand information disparities and human weaknesses
4️⃣ On-chain Whale Tracking Technique
Monitor large transfer addresses (like Binance hot wallets) to capture market maker movements in advance. Example: A whale transferred 100,000 ETH to an exchange in December 2023, and one week later ETH plummeted by 20% 811.
Tools: Etherscan whale monitoring + exchange deposit alerts.
5️⃣ Grayscale Premium Arbitrage
When the Grayscale Trust premium exceeds 20%, simultaneously go long on BTC spot + short GBTC. In 2020, the premium peaked at 40%, providing arbitrageurs with an annualized return of over 50% 311.
Risk: Need to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, suitable for professional institutions.
Three, High Risk, High Reward: Dark Wealth Channels
6️⃣ IDO Sniping Battle
Purchase Launchpad first-release coins (like Binance new coin mining), sell within 5 minutes of opening. In 2024, a certain AI project’s IDO surged 300% at opening, with a first-day cash-out yield of 120% 37.
Secret: Only play on top-tier platforms (Binance, OKX), avoid small exchanges with low-quality coins!
7️⃣ NFT Floor Price Sweep
Buy blue-chip NFTs (like BAYC) at low prices on LooksRare, then sell at high prices on OpenSea. In March 2024, the price difference for a rare ape reached 20ETH, making a monthly profit of over a million 312.
Danger zone: NFTs with poor liquidity may become worthless!
Four, Death Zone: 99% of retail investors fall into these traps
✖️ Leverage Contracts: 100x leverage = suicide accelerator; during the 2024 LUNA crash, $20 billion evaporated in a single day 1011.
✖️ Meme Coin Gambling: 90% of projects with a market cap of less than 100 million go to zero; a certain zoo coin tripled in three days only to crash by 99% 23.
✖️ Holding without Stop Loss: Must cut losses when down 10%; a certain novice stubbornly held SHIB and lost 90% 212.
Five, Ultimate Principle: Cognition Monetization Formula
(Information Disparity × Execution) ÷ Emotional Fluctuations = Wealth Level
Information Disparity: Join core communities (paid Discord channels) to obtain insider information 38.
Execution: Dare to bottom fish during crashes and be willing to sell during surges (e.g., BTC in 2024 corrected from $100,000 to $80,000 and rebounded) 711.
Emotional Control: Block out ‘get rich quick myths’ and use cold wallets to lock up 90% of assets to prevent impulsive trades 1012.
Captain's Case of Sudden Wealth:
Invest in ETH regularly in 2023, staking yields an annualized 38% in 2025 57
In 2024, target QANplatform's anti-censorship blockchain games, with 20x returns in 3 months 312
