Honestly, if someone had “slapped” me in the face with these things right from the start with crypto, I definitely would not have lost money, wasted time, and even lost hair due to stress. I share this so you don't fall into the same trap as I did:
1. Bitcoin – The Rules Have Been Written
The supply of Bitcoin is fixed: only 21 million BTC, no more, no less. No story of “halving”, “ETF” or “AI narrative” can change that. Therefore, the ultimate winners will be those who patiently accumulate and hold long-term – a small group, only about 8% of people actually have discipline.
2. Technical Analysis and Research Are Good – But Not Enough
I once thought that just learning TA (technical analysis) or diving deep into research would lead to winning the market. But in reality, what matters much more is: Capital management + Risk management.
I've witnessed how even the best analysts can go bankrupt.
And conversely, many people don't understand much about charts but still get rich, simply because they know when to sell and allocate capital wisely.
3. Don't Live and Die by the Price Screen
In the past, I ground charts day and night, but ultimately the biggest profits came from:
Staking, farming, passive yield
Holding BTC, ETH, and a few basic coins
Chasing pumps only makes you more fatigued and likely to burn out.
4. The 'Get Rich Now' Mindset Is a Double-Edged Sword
Bitcoin has grown at an average of ~100%/year over the past 15 years. Yet most people still lose money. Why?
👉 Because they always have the mindset: 'Get rich quick, get rich now.'
If you can't dedicate at least 4 hours/day to crypto, the simplest way is:
70% BTC
30% ETH
And… good night. No FOMO, no stress.
5. Don't Blindly Trust KOLs or Influencers
Listening to others = losing control.
Self-learn, self-research, and make your own decisions. Even the 'losses' will help you grow and become stronger.
6. Crypto Is Not Just a Coin – It Is Global Finance
Don't think crypto is just a few coins to trade. It is becoming a part of:
Macro
Wall Street
Global finance
Adapt or be left behind. This is a playground for the whole world.
7. My Strategy Now
I no longer have FOMO. I DCA every time there's a dip, focus on BTC as the core, add ETH, and sleep well every night.
Personal forecast: if the macro environment continues to be 'risk-on', BTC could completely reach $150K next year.
✅ In the end, money is not everything. Crypto only really makes sense when it helps your life to be better, freer. If not, you might be on the wrong path.
