Recently, a friend came to me to complain that he bought a token of a 'star project' on a certain exchange, and as soon as he bought in, it plummeted, and now he is stuck. I asked him: 'Do you know who the core team of this project is? What ecosystems are there? How many real users are there?' He didn’t know any of that; he just jumped in after hearing others boast. This is too typical—most people lose money, not because the market is bad, but because of the huge information gap. 1. The winners in the crypto world are never lucky. Do you think those who get rich quickly rely on 'holding spot' or 'high-leverage contracts'? Wrong, the only three types of people who really make money are: ✅ Techies: For example, programmers who can discover vulnerabilities in a project early or participate in testnet mining, and cash out directly when the token goes live. A friend of mine earned $500,000 last year by testing nodes for a new chain with zero cost. ✅ Resource holders: Those who have traffic, communities, and can help projects with marketing. Do you know how much some 'call-out big shots' charge to promote a coin? Starting from $50,000, and they get the tokens at a much lower cost than you. ✅ Information holders: Those who can get insider news in advance. For example, when a certain exchange is about to list a new coin, insiders have already accumulated chips at low prices off the market, just waiting for the launch to pump and dump. 2. Why do ordinary people always get wrecked? �� Trap 1: What you think is 'good news' is actually 'bad news.' A coin suddenly skyrockets, the community and media go crazy promoting it, and you get tempted and jump in. What happens? The market makers already have sell orders set at high levels, waiting for you to enter and dump. �� Trap 2: Contracts are just gambling; 99% of people will lose. 'Open 100x leverage, one shot to financial freedom!'—this kind of story is best taken with a grain of salt. I've seen too many people get liquidated in one night, losing even their principal. Exchanges love gamblers because they earn fees regardless of the price movement. �� Trap 3: Small coins = high-risk lottery. If a certain animal coin or celebrity coin skyrockets 100 times, do you think 'could I be the next one to buy'? Wake up, these coins have extremely poor liquidity; after the market maker pumps, you won't even be able to sell, and you'll just watch it go to zero. 3. How should ordinary people play? ☒ Don’t touch contracts! Don’t touch small coins! Use spare cash to buy some BTC, ETH, and hold it long-term; that’s better than aimlessly messing around. ☑ Learn to read on-chain data (like the movements of large wallets, inflows and outflows from exchanges), which is more reliable than looking at K-lines. ☑ Improve your understanding instead of gambling on luck; in this market, the ones with higher knowledge always earn the money from those with lower understanding. The last blunt truth: If you neither understand technology nor have insider information but still want to get rich through trading coins—there’s no difference. The ones making money in the crypto world are always a minority; most people are just fuel. Invest rationally, and don’t let yourself become the 'story protagonist' who gets harvested.
