The underlying logic of making money in the crypto world is actually just one sentence
Having spent 10 years in the crypto world, experiencing three cycles of bull and bear markets, trying mining, ICOs, airdrops, and chasing altcoins, I've finally summarized the most reliable way to make money:
Buy in bear markets, sell in bull markets.
It sounds simple, but it is the only underlying logic that ordinary people can use, compound, and survive.
1. Bear markets are the opportunity
Bull markets have high heat and lots of news, but the best time to buy is when no one is talking about Bitcoin in the coldest moments of a bear market, the community is quiet, and even exchanges are not busy. This is the most suitable time to build positions gradually. You don’t need to try to catch the bottom; just buy slowly during the bear market cycle, and opportunities will always come.
2. Only buy mainstream coins
BTC and ETH are always the most stable mainstream assets. Also consider leading projects like BNB and SOL for appropriate allocation.
Don’t fantasize about turning around with altcoins. If you have no news, no channels, and no insider information, most altcoins are just there to harvest you. Coins that were hot in the last round basically go to zero in the next round.
3. Sell in the middle of the bull market, don’t be greedy for the last wave
In the early stage of a bull market, BTC rises, ETH follows, and mainstream coins catch up; in the middle stage, mainstream coins explode and later altcoins soar. Many people will rush in during this phase to gamble on getting rich.
But the further you go, the greater the risk. The ones who really make money are those who sell in the middle stage and are not greedy.
Don’t think about trying to top-tick; as long as you earn a profit you can accept, decisively exiting makes you a winner.
4. Don’t gamble your life, don’t go all-in
Many people get a little profit in a bull market and become overconfident, going all-in on a “promising” coin, fantasizing about it increasing tenfold or a hundredfold.
But the truth is: if you make one wrong bet, you might not come back. Heavily investing in altcoins can put you in a bind, and you might not even be able to preserve your principal. A small position can be played, but if you want to go heavy, it must be on mainstream coins.
5. Principal is the most important
What’s most feared in the crypto world is not losing profits, but losing principal. Cutting losses in a bear market is not scary; what’s scary is holding on and ultimately losing the chance to bounce back. As long as the principal is there, you can still turn the tables in the next bull market.
Summary:
Buy gradually in bear markets, wait patiently.
Only buy mainstream coins, don’t touch “concept stories”.
Sell in the middle of the bull market, don’t be greedy for the peak.
Control your position, stabilize your emotions.
Don’t seek to get rich quickly, just aim to survive.
The crypto world may seem lively, but it’s actually just an emotional game. To live long, hold on, and resist temptation is the true victory.
If you think this logic is reliable, don’t rush blindly; keep the rhythm. Every three years is a cycle; steadily navigate through the bull and bear markets.
