All of this comes from eight years of practical training in the crypto world.
Starting with a capital of 30,000, my account dwindled to just 5,000 at its lowest. With a 'dumb method,' I grew it to several tens of millions.
The most critical wave, from the bottom setup, achieved a 400-fold return in four months, with a single profit exceeding 20 million.
It sounds legendary, but behind it lies 2880 days of patience, restraint, and accumulated knowledge.
Here are some experiences shared with you that might help you avoid detours:
One, a bull market does not equal 'picking up money everywhere.'
A bull market doesn't mean you should 'search for opportunities on every screen.' Being greedy often leads to picking up scraps.
My approach has always been to focus on one main line and thoroughly understand the main upward trend. For example, when the AI sector rises, I only focus on this track: who starts first, who catches up, who is the leader. Grabbing one of them is enough to capture the entire trend.
Two, when choosing coins, 'buy new, don’t cling to old.'
Many people think old coins are cheap, but that's a misconception. Most old coins have long since lost their liquidity and story; new coins have expectations and popularity. Sentiment doesn't translate to growth; popularity attracts funds.
Three, try not to touch contracts, especially high leverage.
I've also traded contracts; I earned eight figures at my peak, but I've tasted the bitterness of liquidation countless times. If you must do it, remember three things:
• Don't use high leverage (over 50x is gambling).
• Strictly set stop-losses (it should be as natural as breathing).
• Don't go all-in, don’t be impulsive, and don’t fantasize about doubling overnight.
Four, understanding the 'iron law of cycles' will prevent you from becoming fodder at the end of a bull market.
The four-year cycle in crypto is real. When taxi drivers, food delivery workers, and convenience store owners are all talking about 'which coin can tenfold' — the bull market peak is near. At that moment, the faster you run, the longer you survive.
Five, the 'dumb method' is often the most effective.
Those who chase trends always end up at the tail. I prefer to spend time researching those assets recognized by capital but not wildly speculated by retail investors. Pick two directions and choose two coins in each: one leader for stability; one potential player for flexibility. Enter the market in batches, take profits in batches, and control your positions: underweight in bear markets, gradually add in bull markets, and clear out in the bull's tail.
What I earn doesn't rely on luck or news, but on my understanding of the rhythm. The market never rewards smart people; it only rewards those who survive.
To live decently in the crypto world, it’s not about impulsive passion, but about gradually cultivating discipline and a long-term perspective. This is not speculation; it's a practice.
If you're new to the game and feeling lost and restless, you might want to try my 'slow down, be steady' approach.
The logic isn't complicated; the hard part is whether you're willing to calm down first, clarify the rhythm, rather than dance chaotically with every new coin hype.
The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are those who can survive through the cycles.
