After ten years of ups and downs in the cryptocurrency world, from a naive kid to a net worth in the eight figures, I can say I've figured things out.

This industry is much more carefree than the 80s entrepreneurs who do real business; I always stay in hotels that cost two thousand a night, living in a freedom that’s almost unbelievable.

But don’t just see me enjoying the profits; the real skill comes from the hits I’ve taken over these ten years.

Today, I’ll lay out the five iron rules the market has taught me:

When the big players are accumulating, the price rises sharply but falls slowly; when they are offloading, it drops hard and rises faintly.

When there’s a surge at the top, don’t rush to exit; a lack of volume is when you should be most cautious.

A surge at the bottom isn’t necessarily an opportunity; sustained volume is the true signal.

Ultimately, what the cryptocurrency market plays on is emotional warfare; trading volume is the thermometer of consensus.

Change has never been pretty; it’s like tearing muscles during a workout to rebuild your understanding. The market specializes in putting you in your place; today you might be soaring, and tomorrow you could be in a panic, with many not even getting a chance to change their fate.

I’ve survived these years by relying on two things:

Always believing that tomorrow the market will teach me a lesson, and always studying new strategies.

This industry has no diplomas, only survivors; vigilance is the hardest chip you have in your pocket.
