The essence of making money is never relying on short-term fluctuations but rather understanding the logic behind the market.
• The core of trading is survival; only by living long can one wait for big opportunities.
• Short-term price fluctuations are noise; the real money is made through long-term trends.
• Emotional trading is the root of losses; institutional trading relies on rationality + discipline.
Recently, a friend came to me complaining that he bought a token from a 'star project' at a certain exchange, and as soon as he bought it, it halved, and now he is stuck. I asked him: 'Do you know who the core team of this project is? What are its ecosystems? How many real users are there?' He knew nothing, purely rushing in after seeing others hype it. This is too typical — most people lose money not because the market is bad but because of the significant information gap.
1. The winners in the crypto world are never those who rely on luck. Do you think those who get rich quickly do so by 'holding spot' or 'high leverage contracts'? Wrong. The real money-makers fall into only three categories:
✅ Technical party: For example, programmers who can discover vulnerabilities in a project in advance or participate in testnet mining, and then cash out directly when the tokens are launched. A guy I know made $500,000 last year by testing nodes for a new chain, at zero cost.
✅ Resource party: Those who have traffic, have communities, and can help project parties with marketing. Do you know how much some 'signal callers' charge to promote a coin? Starting at 50,000 USDT, and they acquire tokens at a much lower cost than you.
✅ Information party: Those who can obtain insider information in advance. For example, when a new coin is to be listed on an exchange, insiders have already collected chips at low prices off-market, just waiting for the launch to pull the price and cut the leeks.
2. Why are ordinary people always getting cut?
Trap 1: What you think is 'beneficial' is actually 'detrimental.' A certain coin suddenly skyrockets, and the community and media boast wildly. You get excited and rush in to buy. What happens? The market maker has already set up sell orders at high positions, just waiting for you to come in and dump.
Trap 2: Contracts are like a casino, 99% of people will lose. 'Open 100x leverage, one shot to financial freedom!' — This kind of story is just for listening. I have seen too many people get liquidated overnight, losing even their principal. Exchanges love gamblers because they earn fees regardless of market movements.
Trap 3: What you think is 'good news' is actually 'bad news.' A certain coin suddenly skyrockets, and the community and media hype it up. You get tempted and rush in to catch the wave. What happens? The market maker has already set sell orders at high positions, just waiting for you to enter and dump.
Top 10 mindsets that can help you survive in the crypto world and make big money, reminding all crypto friends to keep in mind:
1. The standard for judging experts is primarily based on their empty positions duration: True experts do not only profit when the market is rising; more importantly, they know to decisively choose to stay out of the market when it is unclear or risky. This patience and discipline are core elements for success.
2. In a bear market, every purchase may lead to a mistake: During a bear market, the overall market trend is downward, and any buying behavior is highly likely to encounter a more significant decline. Therefore, maintaining a cautious attitude and reducing or even avoiding trading until the market clearly stabilizes or a bull market arrives is the wise choice.
3. In a bull market, every sale may be a mistake: During a bull market, prices continue to rise, and selling too early could mean missing out on more substantial profits. Hold on, go with the trend, and only consider selling when there is a clear market trend change.
4. The fundamental of investing is to buy low and sell high: It sounds extremely simple, yet it is fraught with difficulties in practice. The key point is to have enough patience to wait for the right time to enter and exit, and not to be swayed by short-term market fluctuations.
5. The direction of the market is determined by the main funds: The primary direction of the market is driven by large-scale funds. Understanding the dynamics of the main funds can help us go with the trend and avoid falling into the trap of counter-trend operations.
6. Technical and fundamental analysis cannot compete with the overall trend: Whether it's technical analysis or fundamental analysis, they seem insignificant in the face of the overall market trend. Following the trend is key to achieving long-term profits.
7. A bearish signal at the top indicates a bottom; one should sell decisively: When the market is at a high, negative news often signals an impending reversal, making it an excellent time to exit.
8. Negative news at the bottom actually indicates a bottom; one must buy boldly: In the market's bottom region, negative news often reflects extreme panic, making it the best time to buy.
9. One lifetime of wealth is enough; be sure to guard the wealth you have acquired: Do not be greedy; know when to take profit at the right time and firmly protect the money you have earned. This is a key point for achieving long-term success.
10. Bitcoin must be allocated; otherwise, one may not make money in a bull market: As the leader of the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin often has the most significant price increase during a bull market. A reasonable allocation of Bitcoin can help us achieve stable returns in a bull market.
These valuable pieces of advice are the crystallization of wisdom from years of practical experience, worthy of our careful consideration and strict adherence. I hope these suggestions can help everyone navigate the market with fewer detours and steadily move towards success.
