The cruel truth about making money in the crypto world: In a highly volatile market, what did the survivors do right?
The cryptocurrency market creates wealth myths with volatility, but most people only see huge profits and not the bones. Those who truly make consistent profits often master four core principles:
1. Volatility is a money printer and a money shredder
- ±20% volatility per day is normal, and the same group of people who earned 100x returns in a bull market may go to zero in a bear market
- Key difference: Professional players use contracts to hedge risk, while retail investors gamble with leverage
2. Cognition is the only moat
- Technical analysis (K-line/volume-price/indicators) is the basis for survival
- On-chain data, project white papers, and team background checks are the source of alpha
- 90% of "100x coins" disappear after the bull market, identifying valuable projects requires keen eyes
3. Black swans always come during the carnival
- Exchange explosions, policy changes, smart contract vulnerabilities...
- Smart money always keeps a way out: cold storage + dispersed positions + emergency funds
4. Anti-human operations can survive
- Coolly take profits when the community FOMOs, and build positions in batches when the fear index explodes
- Replace emotions with trading discipline: preset stop-loss/take-profit points, and execute strictly
The real secret: The crypto circle's excess returns come from "asymmetric opportunities" - capturing a few high-certainty opportunities with strict risk control. Remember:
- Don't try to eat every wave of market conditions
- Don't use living funds for trading
- Don't believe "this time is different"
The bull market is a trap for ordinary people, but a cash machine for knowledgeable people. Are you ready to use professionalism to get through the cycle?
