Can you still play in the crypto world in 2025? The truth from a 7-year trader
Can you still enter the market?
I've been in the crypto world for 7 years, seen bull and bear markets, endured crashes, and today I’m telling you from the heart:
You can play, but if you still want to rely on luck to turn things around, you are just dreaming.
1. The era of blind wealth has ended
Stop fantasizing about making hundreds of times your investment with a $SHIB or $PEPE.
That was years ago; the market has already changed:
From a "retail paradise" to an "institutional battleground."
Those relying on tips, insider information, or FOMO have basically been wiped out.
Now, what counts are three things:
Speed of information disparity + Ability to update strategies + Ironclad execution.
If you lack these three, you will be harvested faster.
2. Those who truly make money have a "cold-blooded mentality"
The crypto world is not about vision, it's about patience.
You must lie in wait like a crocodile, only striking when the time is right.
Rather than staring at K-lines, chasing trades, getting liquidated, regretting, and repeating mistakes.
Three hard-earned lessons:
Only take mid-section profits and run; don’t chase after the head and tail, that’s bait from the big players.
90% of the time the market is sideways; it’s only 10% of the time that it moves, and you need to endure.
If you hear about a "hundred-fold coin," it’s time to run; by the time you see the news, the profit has already disappeared.
3. The current crypto market values professionalism, not gambling instincts
In 2021, you could still "trade on a hunch,"
By 2025, you need to be able to:
Monitor on-chain transactions
Interpret funding rates
Calculate liquidation lines and stop-loss points
Analyze Federal Reserve policies and macro cycles
If you don’t understand these, it’s not a slow start; it’s outright elimination.
Final advice: three words: prioritize survival
Never let a single coin exceed 15% of your position
When others shout "go all in," think "they're offloading."
Practice more with demo accounts; in real trading, don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose.
The crypto world has never lacked opportunities, but real opportunities are only left for those who survive.
If you are willing to evolve from a gambler to a hunter, from "emotionally trading" to "systematic execution,"
2025 still holds promise.
But if you are still dreaming of overnight riches, I advise you to cut your losses and exit early.
