In the past, when I went downstairs to pick up packages, the boss was a man in his forties, speaking with a strong accent from another region. Every morning at seven, he would start moving goods, sorting packages, and calling out... He would wrap up around eight or nine in the evening, working over ten hours a day, his hands never resting.
Once, while I was smoking downstairs, he chatted with me for a bit and said he had been doing this for over ten years, earning around sixty to seventy thousand a year, just enough to support his two children. He didn't even dare to have a proper meal himself.
Then one day, he surprisingly came to ask me: "About Bitcoin, are you still involved?"
I was taken aback for a moment. He said he had been watching me for several months, and he would review my account's performance every day after work. He mentioned that he wasn't looking to get rich quickly; he just wanted to earn an extra two to three thousand a month and not rely on moving goods to make a living.
At that time, I didn't discuss high-level indicators with him; I simply said, "Don't be impulsive, don't follow blindly, control the pace."
At first, he was like most people, chasing the highs and selling on the lows, taking profits and holding onto losses, operating like a casino gambler.
I set a very simple principle for him: "No more than two trades a day, first control your position. If you have losses, stop trading, no forcing it."
At first, he complained it was too slow, saying he couldn't make big money this way, so I directly replied: "You're not here to get rich quick; you're here to change your fate. Can you take it steady?"
Three months later, he sent me a message on WeChat: "Bro, I’ve earned a year’s worth of delivery money in these three months."
That day, his voice was a bit choked up. He said after finishing this batch of goods, he didn't want to do it anymore and was preparing to work full-time in the crypto space, wanting to spend more time with his wife and children.
I didn't respond much, just said: "Take it steady, don’t get carried away."
In fact, when you look at his starting point, it’s lower than most people, right? He worked like a dog every day, with calloused hands, living in a suburban area of a third-tier city, earning only five to six thousand.
But he managed to turn it around, not relying on luck, but on one thing: execution ability.
Now, too many people ask me: Can you do a side hustle in the crypto space?
I can only say yes, but it's not like the fantasy of "just a quick trade and you double it."
You have to be steady, you have to get rid of the gambling mentality, and you have to withstand the lonely market conditions.
If you really want to change your income structure through the crypto space, then honestly cultivate your sense of rhythm.
Don’t chase trends, don’t think about getting rich overnight.
Take it slow, with rules, patience, and discipline – it will eventually yield results.
