I am 32 this year and started trading cryptocurrencies at 22. By 2023-2024, my funds reached an 8-figure amount.

As for my current life, it may not be luxurious, but I typically stay in high-end hotels that cost 2000 a night. It's not for show or bragging; it's genuinely something I've worked hard for.

Compared to those born in the 80s who are engaged in real estate or e-commerce, I can only say: I have it much easier.

In these 10 years, I've navigated through bull and bear markets, witnessed waterfall sell-offs, and experienced rallies that lasted ten days without a pullback. Countless times my account was in floating profit only to drop back to zero, and many moments I thought about giving up before dawn. Yet, I’m still here, not having left, and even becoming more clear-headed.

I've summed up the reasons I managed to survive, which can be distilled into five sentences. If you read patiently, you might avoid taking a few detours.

Fast rises and slow declines don't indicate a bull market; it's the operators accumulating shares.

Fast declines and slow rises are not a bottom-fishing opportunity; it's the operators distributing shares.

If there's volume at the top, don't rush to exit; if there's no volume at the top, it's best to leave quickly.

If there's increased volume for a day or two at the bottom, don't rush to jump in; sustained volume is when big money actually enters the market.

Emotion is the engine of cryptocurrency prices, and trading volume is the proof of consensus. What you're trading is not just cryptocurrency; it's emotion, expectation, and human nature.

I know this may not sound cool or passionate, but this is what I've earned through time and money.

True evolution has never been pleasant. Each upgrade in understanding is accompanied by severe denial, feeling as painful as tearing muscle and bone.

Real change is when you shift from "I understand" to "I don't understand, I need to observe more."

Ordinary people can't handle this kind of pain, but if you can endure it, you can stay at the table and survive until the end.

So stop blindly FOMOing, and don't let candlestick charts lead you around by the nose.

Respect the market, keep learning, optimize your system, stay alert, and continuously improve. You're not racing against others; you're competing to see who can last longer.

The current market is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are people who can recognize opportunities and take decisive action.

Follow the right people and stand on the right side to potentially earn more.

I am Cheng Ge, a trader with 10 years of experience, here to help you win steadily.

In the cryptocurrency world, it's not about feelings; it's about strength. Only those who can stay will have a voice.
