Making money in the cryptocurrency circle may seem complicated, but ultimately, it boils down to these seven methods:
Some earn while lying down, some earn from trends, and some rely on technology;
As long as you choose the right method for yourself and stick to it, making money is never accidental.
1. Coin holding method (exclusive to long-term investors)
Applicable market conditions: Usable in bull and bear markets
Suitable for: Ordinary people who do not have much time to monitor the market
Choose mainstream coins, dollar-cost average, and hold for more than half a year to a year.
Avoid frequent trading and being swayed by emotions. Even just Bitcoin and ETH can yield returns far exceeding most frequent traders if the cycle is extended.
The key is: Choose the right coin + Stay steadfast.
2. Bull market dip chasing method (grabbing rotation, chasing rebounds)
Applicable market conditions: Bull market
Suitable for: Small capital, willing to take risks
Use no more than 20% of total assets to selectively rotate operations on medium-market-cap (ranked 10-100) altcoins.
The strategy is:
Buy a coin that is currently correcting
After a price increase of over 50%, switch to another coin that is currently declining
Constantly switch and rotate operations
Note: Prioritize popular coins and avoid getting stuck with unpopular coins.
3. Hourglass vehicle change method (following trend rotation)
Applicable market conditions: Bull market
Suitable for: People who can follow trends and have patience
The rotation of the cryptocurrency market is like an hourglass: it first flows to leading coins like BTC/ETH, then to second-tier mainstream coins, and finally into altcoins.
The rhythm is:
BTC/ETH → SOL/BNB/LTC → Popular new coins → Various speculative small coins
Master this rhythm, be neither greedy nor anxious, and you can easily double your investment throughout a bull market.
4. Pyramid bottom-fishing method (systematic buying during a big drop)
Applicable market conditions: Sharp drops, major corrections
Suitable for: People with position management awareness
Do not blindly 'go all in at the bottom'; you should increase your position in batches, buying more as prices drop to gradually lower your average cost.
Example:
Buy in at the current price 20%
Increase position by 20% if it drops 10%
Increase position by 20% if it drops another 10%
And so forth...
This logic can control risk while seizing opportunities from extreme declines.
5. Moving average method (exclusive to technical analysts)
Applicable market conditions: Volatile, trending
Suitable for: Those who understand technical analysis and read candlesticks
Use MA5, MA10, MA20, MA30, MA60 to make trading judgments:
Price above MA5 and MA10 → Continue to hold
MA5 breaking upwards through MA10 → You can start building your position
MA5 breaking below MA10 → You should decisively take profits and exit
Let the charts speak, reducing subjective assumptions.
6. Hotspot rotation method (taking off with hotspots)
Applicable market conditions: Mid-to-late stage of the bull market
Suitable for: Those who closely follow the rhythm
Each bull market has a main narrative:
DeFi, GameFi, AI, modular, Restaking…
Buying coins in line with trends is more likely to succeed than simply looking at prices.
The key points are:
Look at on-chain activity, capital inflows, and Twitter discussion levels
Participate in leading coins, avoid miscellaneous coins
Withdraw once the hotspot is over, don't cling to it
7. Technology + capital management + emotional control (the ultimate weapon)
Any strategy is merely a tactic; those who truly make money have three protective amulets:
Have a stable strategy, do not trade based on 'feelings'
Control your position, do not easily go all in
Stay emotionally stable, neither greedy nor timid, with a planned execution
These three points are fundamental to navigating bull and bear markets and achieving continuous profits.
Making money in the cryptocurrency circle does not rely on mysticism:
Some rely on holding coins
Some rely on rotation
Some rely on technology
Those who truly make money rely on: Awareness, discipline, strategy, and rhythm
Find the path that suits you, and then walk it firmly.
