The most ironic truth in the crypto world: Most people shout 'financial freedom' while playing contracts with a lottery mentality—this is not investment; it’s a form of performance art giving fees to exchanges.
One, stop the bleeding: Surviving is more important than making money.
I've seen too many people enter with 3000U and end up with just 300U in a week; it's not that their skills are lacking, but they committed two deadly sins:
All-in poker: It's like betting all your possessions on the size of the dice. Win, and you get the club's models; lose, and you work on the construction site.
Leverage headaches: 100x leverage is not a printing machine; it’s a meat grinder, and liquidation happens faster than a delivery guy can deliver.
My life-saving operation:
2000U to buy spot: Only choose coins in the top 20 by market cap, but intentionally skip over the 3rd, 7th, and 15th positions that are often manipulated by dealers.
800U for arbitrage: The price difference at the exchange is a money-making opportunity; more details later.
200U as emergency money: Equivalent to a medical kit on the battlefield; without it, you're doomed.
Vampirism: Earn 3% daily from 'exchange loopholes.'
The dealers cut the chives, we cut the exchanges—this is the correct way for retail investors.
When two golden signals appear, close your eyes and make money:
Price difference hunting: When the BTC price on a second-tier exchange is 1.5% lower than Binance, immediately buy all-in on exchange A while shorting on exchange B, earning the 'information difference' between exchanges.
Rate arbitrage: When the perpetual contract funding rate is continuously negative at 0.02% or more for 12 hours, buy the spot market and short the contract, lying down to enjoy the rate subsidy.
Last month, I earned an extra 4273U with this trick; it's much better than working. The key is that you don’t have to watch the market; set up an automatic strategy to reap the rewards.
Three, killer move: The 'violent ATM' of new coins.
When the account exceeds 20,000U, it’s time to play something exciting—new coins are the real printing machines.
Three major characteristics of new coins:
Online for 1-3 months: The dealer hasn't finished yet; they must pump the price to attract buyers.
Market cap of 100 million to 500 million U: Too small and it can go to zero; too large and it can’t be moved.
Sudden volume breakout: Daily trading volume triples or more, with a large bullish candlestick breaking through the sky.
Case study: Last year, when a new coin was listed on Binance, I entered at 2.1U and sold at 9.6U; opportunities like this to quadruple in 3 weeks happen every month—it's just about whether you dare to execute the strategy.
There are no secrets to getting rich in the crypto world, only a 'guide to making fewer mistakes'—control your hands, and you’ll beat 90% of people.
Information difference = printing machine: Most people don’t even know about price difference arbitrage; they deserve to be cut.
Execution is the ultimate weapon: With the same strategy, some make 280,000U while others get liquidated; the difference is just four words: follow through, persist.
Next time your finger itches to go all-in, remember my words: The most expensive tuition in the crypto world is not losses, but missing those opportunities that could have made money steadily.
