As someone who has been in the cryptocurrency market since 2013, I want to talk about the current state of the cryptocurrency market in 2025, and what you should do.
1. The cryptocurrency market can still be played, but it is no longer the era of 'becoming rich with closed eyes'.
Let me give you a conclusion:
The cryptocurrency market is still viable, but it is no longer an era where everyone can get rich; it is an era of 'differentiation'.
To put it bluntly, the gap between those who can make money now and those who can't is getting larger. The era of blindly buying Shiba, APE, or Dogecoin and making multiples is basically over. Now, to make money, you need to rely on information asymmetry, strategy, and execution.
Why is that?
Because the market has shifted from being 'retail-driven' to 'institutional participation and capital games'. The opponents you face could be full-time on-chain analysts, arbitrage teams, or even AI robots...
So if you want to use 'the strategies from the last bull market' to participate in the current market, it's basically not going to work.
2. Whether you can make money actually depends on your mindset.
You might think that the cryptocurrency market relies on vision, but what’s more crucial is: mindset + rhythm control ability.
The consensus among veteran investors has three points:
Don't earn on the last segment, don't be greedy for the first segment: Eating meat in the middle is the way to go.
Volatility is the norm, explosive rises are occasional: The real opportunity is 'guarding' it, not 'charging' out.
Don't be swayed by FOMO emotions: Every time you see someone else getting rich, it may be years of preparation behind it.
3. In fact, opportunities still exist, but the cryptocurrency market has long changed.
The cryptocurrency market can still be played, but it has changed from a 'rich-quick prairie' to a 'skill competition arena'.
If you are still using the mindset from 2019 and 2021 to play in today's market, you will only face greater losses.
But if you are willing to calm down and study, build strategies and optimize understanding, the cryptocurrency market still has the highest potential return on investment.
My personal account took nearly 10 years to grow from 300,000 to 1 million, but upon reaching 1 million, it seemed to click, and I shot straight to 40 million. Today, I want to share a few tips; this experience is worth 60 million, and I hope it helps you.
1. Keep a close eye on Bitcoin's trend.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin often leads the direction of price fluctuations. Ethereum may sometimes act independently, but most altcoins are influenced by it.
2. Pay attention to the relationship between Bitcoin and USDT.
Bitcoin and USDT often move in opposite directions. When USDT goes up, be cautious of Bitcoin dropping; when Bitcoin rises, it is an opportunity to buy USDT.
3. Seize trading opportunities in the early morning.
Every day from 12 AM to 1 AM, there is a phenomenon of needle spikes. Domestic investors can set low buy orders for their desired coins before sleeping and high sell orders; there might be surprise transactions for easy profits.
4. Observe the morning rise and fall trends.
Every day from 6 to 8 AM is a key period for judging whether to buy or sell. If there is a continuous drop from 12 AM to 6 AM and it continues to drop, it’s advisable to buy or average down; if it continues to rise, it’s advisable to sell as it is highly likely to drop that day.
5. Pay attention to fluctuations in the afternoon.
Pay special attention at 5 PM, due to time differences, American investors begin trading, which may trigger price fluctuations; many significant rises and falls occur at this time.
6. Be careful of 'Black Friday'.
There is talk of 'Black Friday' in the cryptocurrency market; although there are cases of big drops on Fridays, there are also significant rises or stagnation. Just pay attention to the news.
7. Treat declining coins with patience.
If a coin with a certain trading volume drops, don't worry. Holding patiently can often help you break even. Short term is 3 to 4 days, long term is a month. If you have extra money, you can average down in batches to speed up recovery, unless it's a worthless coin.
8. Stick to long-term spot trading.
Engage in spot trading, hold the same coin long-term with fewer trades; often the returns are greater than frequent trading, it just depends on your patience.
9. Pay attention to external influencing factors.
The volatility in the cryptocurrency market is influenced by multiple factors, such as the attitudes of various countries towards cryptocurrencies; negative news leads to drops; U.S. financial policies; and the views of big players on cryptocurrencies, like Musk's statements. You need to keep an eye on financial news.
10. Maintain a good mindset for trading coins.
The mindset in trading coins is crucial; don't panic during a big drop, don't be arrogant during a big rise, and securing profits is essential.
What’s the fiercest way to make money in the cryptocurrency market? Just one word: roll!
I’ve seen too many people roll to 990,000, only to lose everything on the last trade...
This thing is a thousand times more exciting than holding coins — either you get rich overnight or go to zero. I started with only 1000 yuan for food and rolled it to 100,000 in three months with this strategy. In simple terms: 100x leverage + profit reinvestment + sticking to one direction. #IndividualInvestor
I started with just 300 USD (2000 yuan) as a trial, opening only 10 USD contracts with 100x leverage. Earning 1% doubles the amount, and I withdraw half of the profit, rolling the other half. Just by being right 11 times in a row, 10 USD can turn into 10,000! But 90% of people fail at these points: they earn but don't stop to take profits, or they add to losing positions, changing directions and getting slapped in the face.
My own iron rule is: cut losses immediately if wrong, stop if you make 20 consecutive mistakes; must withdraw once you earn 5000 USD, absolutely no greed. Last year, during a big trend, I started with 500 USD and in three days rolled it to 500,000 — but I waited four months without moving beforehand. This thing is all about seizing the opportunity in one go, and usually, play dead to avoid itching fingers. #InvestmentFinance
Someone asked if rolling is still possible now? Check the market: Has a big fluctuation come? Is there a one-sided trend? Can you resist the temptation to eat the fish tail after only eating the body? If the answer is 'yes' to all, then go for it; if you are still hesitating, it means you haven't learned enough from the market.
Remember, rolling over accounts is a life-and-death game; either you’ll be with young models or you’ll have to work. If you don’t have that mindset and discipline, it’s better to stick to holding coins and not throw your head in!
