Post-90s, I've been in the crypto space for 8 years. I started with just 10,000 USDT as capital and slowly grew it to over 1 million now.
Relying on inside information? No. Relying on a get-rich-quick gamble? No.
To be honest, at the beginning, I also fantasized about making a quick 10x investment to achieve financial freedom, but what happened? I ended up losing a lot. In the end, I relied on a simple strategy called "rolling positions" to steadily grow my wealth.
After working my way up to 1 million, I summarized 6 iron rules, not the kind that you learn from books, but the insights I gained from my real-life experiences:
1. Fast rises and slow falls; don't rush to exit.
Many people panic when they see prices rising and quickly sell. In reality, this is just the market makers profiting off the volatility. The real danger is when you see a huge spike followed by a sudden drop—pure baiting.
2. Fast drops and slow rises; don't think you've found a bargain.
Smashed prices → sideways movement → tricking you into bottom fishing → then another wave of selling. I've seen this pattern for eight years, and there are still people who believe it's a buying opportunity.
3. High volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean a crash; low volume is what’s truly dangerous.
If prices are rising and volume is increasing, it means there’s still market sentiment and buying pressure. The real panic should occur when prices rise but no one is buying, and the volume dries up—that’s a house of cards.
4. A large bullish candle at the bottom? Be cautious.
A sudden spike in volume is bait; continuous low-volume fluctuations followed by consistent increases in volume indicate that someone is genuinely accumulating.
5. Reading candlestick charts isn’t as important as reading market sentiment; looking at price isn’t as important as looking at transaction volume.
Price is just a facade; transaction volume is the mirror of market consensus. Don’t just focus on candlesticks; learn to read the volume.
6. Finally, seasoned crypto traders have a very "neutral" mindset.
Not fixated, not overly attached to battles, able to hold cash, not chasing highs, willing to enter and exit. It’s not a Zen mindset; it’s self-preservation.
If you understand one rule, you might save yourself from losing 100,000; if you truly implement three, you’re already better than the majority.
The market is still active; some people are desperately chasing highs, some have already missed out, and others are quietly rolling their positions to achieve 10x returns. To put it simply, whether this wave succeeds depends on whether you have a rhythm and a method.
Turning 10,000 USDT into 1 million USDT isn’t a myth, but it definitely can’t be achieved through mere fantasy.
