The heartbeat that quickens as I watch the exchange K-line charts late at night, seeing my account balance grow from three digits to five, along with those moments of staring blankly at the screen after stepping into pitfalls, these fragments piece together my most genuine understanding of 'how to make money in the crypto world.'
This market is never short of stories of sudden wealth, but for ordinary people, the sustainable path is often hidden in those less exciting details.
First, think clearly: what makes you think you can make money here.
When I first entered the market, I always thought I could find 'opportunities others hadn't discovered,' until I lost my initial 3,000 yuan and was left with 800. Then I realized that the prerequisite for making money in the crypto world is to acknowledge one's ordinariness.
Some rely on technical analysis to hit precise points, but that requires thousands of hours of market sense accumulation; others seize opportunities with insider information, but what you see as 'insider' is most likely what someone else wants you to see. For ordinary people, the most reliable entry tickets are 'patience' and 'willingness to learn.'
I have seen too many young people gambling with their living expenses. They always say, 'Fortune favors the bold,' but they haven't counted the cost of risk. The first step for anyone truly able to make money in the crypto world is to instill the idea of 'investing with spare money' deep into their bones.
Just like I am now, even if I have some surplus in my account, I still ask myself before adding to my position: If I lose this money, will it affect next month's rent? If the answer is 'yes', then I have to resist no matter how good the opportunity is.
The feasible paths to making money are just a few.
Investing in mainstream coins through dollar-cost averaging is a simple method I found after stumbling through various pitfalls, yet it's the most suitable for ordinary people. Starting from 2023, I buy 200 yuan of Bitcoin every Thursday without fail, regardless of whether the price is 30,000 or 60,000.
By the end of last year, I calculated that my costs were nearly 30% lower than those friends who chased highs and cut losses. The core of this method is not to predict market trends, but to use time to dilute risk—just like farming, watering and fertilizing on time will eventually lead to harvest season.
Making money through cognitive differences is much more stable than trading coins. I know a programmer friend who, in his spare time, helps blockchain projects write smart contract audit reports, earning several thousand yuan per project.
Some people specifically study the copyright operations of NFTs, helping artists monetize digital works, with a commission that's much more stable than simply buying coins. These things may seem unrelated to 'trading coins', but they can avoid market volatility and directly translate skills into income.
Don't be upset about the tuition when testing with small funds. A few years ago, I spent 600 yuan on an unknown altcoin, which later went to zero, but that money taught me to check project white papers and look at on-chain data. Now when I encounter new coins, I first ask three questions: What problem does it solve? Is the team really working? Is the market value and circulation reasonable? These understandings are all earned with real money.
Holding the bottom line allows you to live longer.
The cruelest aspect of the crypto world is not the market crash, but human greed. I once made a 50% profit on a certain coin, but I always felt it could double. In the end, I rode a rollercoaster and ended up losing money when I sold.
Later, I set a strict rule for myself: if profits exceed 30%, I first take half off the table; if it drops more than 15%, I decisively cut losses. This method has led me to earn less at times, but more often it has helped me preserve my capital—because in this market, staying alive gives you a chance.
Don't believe in the nonsense of 'making money while lying down.' Those communities shouting 'I'll make you rich' are either the sickles that harvest the chives or gamblers using your money to bet.
I joined 12 paid coin recommendation groups, only to find that the most useful information always comes from the white papers I read and the markets I monitor. The truth about making money in the crypto world is very simple: the more effort you put into research, the more return you can expect.
Ultimately, the crypto world is not a casino, but a mirror that reflects everyone's understanding and character. I have seen people make a down payment with 3,000 yuan, and I have also seen someone lose their house.
How far this road can go does not depend on luck, but on whether you understand: true earning is a process of slowly becoming wealthy. When you stop staring at K-lines hoping for a surge and instead focus on refining your understanding, money will quietly come to find you.
