The Ultimate Survival Guide of a 92-Year-Old Veteran in the Crypto World

From Debt to Financial Freedom.

In the crypto world, money is not earned; it is 'waited' for.

Born in 1992, seven years in the crypto space, from being heavily in debt to a net worth of over 20 million. The most ironic part of this industry is that the more eager people are to make money, the faster they die; those who can endure tend to last until the end.

Today, I will share my most authentic experiences to tell you: how to navigate the crypto world to survive and thrive.

Three Major Truths of the Crypto World (90% of people never understand this in their lifetime)

1. Traffic = Price, Narrative = Wealth

Practical Strategy:

In the early stages of a bull market, look for 'new narratives' (2021 DeFi, 2023 RWA, 2025 AI + Blockchain)

When the narrative peaks, gradually retreat (refer to the 2022 NFT crash).

2. Chip Game: A Game for Big Players, A Graveyard for Retail Investors

Whale Manipulation Case: In 2024, a new coin launched with 80% control by the operator; after a tenfold increase, they dumped it overnight to zero.

Survival Rules:

Only trade high liquidity coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)

Avoid small coins with highly concentrated chips (blacklist coins where the top 10 addresses hold > 60%).

3. Information Asymmetry: Knowing 10 Minutes Early Can Earn You an Extra 100%

On-chain data does not lie:

Whale wallet movements (such as sudden transfers to exchanges)

Contract positions surging (may indicate a trend change)

My 2025 Holding Strategy

1. Bull Market Phase (Current)

50% BTC + ETH (Base Position)

30% SOL, TON, WIF (Strong Altcoins)

10% New Narrative Altcoins (like AI, DePIN tracks)

10% USDT (Emergency Top-Up).

2. Bear Market Defense (When BTC Falls Below the Annual Line)

80% USDT (Waiting in Cash)

20% BTC Dollar-Cost Averaging (Add to position every 10% drop)

Advice for Ordinary People

1. The crypto world is not a casino; if you haven't thoroughly researched the cognitive transformation, don't touch it.

2. Always leave an exit route; even with 20 million, I keep 10% in cash.

3. Less trading, more waiting; in 2024, I only traded 27 times but averaged a 43% return.

4. Don’t touch contract leverage; I’ve seen too many people go to zero overnight, including myself in the past.

Remember:

In the crypto world, choice is greater than effort!

Follow the right people, and making money will come naturally!

The crypto market is full of uncertainty and challenges, but it also holds potential opportunities. Investors should fully understand the related risks, remain calm and rational, and adopt a prudent strategy to cope with market changes!#山寨币ETF展望
