Making money in the cryptocurrency market, choosing the right strategy is more important than following the crowd. The following five mainstream strategies cover different risk levels, suitable for both newcomers and experienced investors, helping you clarify your thoughts and avoid pitfalls.
Strategy 1: Mining - Personal players should proceed with caution
"Mining" seems cool, but the mining of mainstream coins (BTC, ETH) has been monopolized by large mining farms: they have professional mining machines and low electricity costs, which allow them to dilute their expenses. Individuals without dedicated equipment and cheap electricity are unlikely to recover their electricity costs, and should avoid it unless they have special channels.
Strategy 2: Primary Market - High risk, high reward, not for beginners
The primary market involves purchasing tokens before the project is listed on an exchange, usually at a low price with a high cap (e.g., buy at $0.01, sell at $0.50, earning 50 times). However, the risks are higher: many projects are well-packaged but may crash or run away once listed. This is only suitable for experienced individuals with insider knowledge who can analyze projects; beginners are likely to fall into traps.
Strategy 3: Secondary Market - Mainstream flexibility, requires patience and skill
This refers to spot trading on exchanges, buying low and selling high (e.g., buy BTC at $20,000, sell at $30,000), suitable for those who are optimistic about certain coins in the long term. Advantages: controllable risk, no liquidation; disadvantages: requires patience, it's easier to make big money in a bull market.
Strategy 4: Staking Mining - Stable returns, suitable for long-term holders
Similar to earning interest by depositing money in a bank, this involves locking mainstream coins (ETH, SOL) on platforms/chains to earn high interest. Earning interest in a bull market and feeling secure in a bear market, with low risk; however, funds are locked, and cannot be sold at any time, making it suitable for long-term holders who do not chase short-term gains.
Strategy 5: Hundredfold coins / Thousandfold coins - 99% are traps, don’t dream of getting rich
While some have become wealthy through altcoins, 99% of altcoins go to zero, with odds comparable to winning the lottery. Most people buy high and lose their investments, so it's better to choose stable strategies to preserve capital.
Final reminder: Those who make money in the cryptocurrency market are the minority; controlling risk is more important than chasing huge profits. Protecting capital first gives you a chance to profit.
