A few hard truths for beginners in the crypto space.
Ok, when it comes to cryptocurrencies, the first thing that comes to mind should be 'Bitcoin', which was born after the financial crisis in 2008. On November 1, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto proposed the concept of Bitcoin. On January 3, 2009, he pressed the start button, and the world's first node was lit up. It was an extraordinary night, the night the Bitcoin genesis block was born. Perhaps he had already anticipated that the development of Bitcoin would resemble the countless lights outside. Its original intention was to solve some problems of the traditional monetary system. You can search for the various reasons for the financial crisis yourself; it’s too complex to explain in just a few words. Here, let me simply explain another point: Your money is in the bank, and although you know your bank card password, the bank still has the right to freeze your funds. In the crypto space, as long as you have the private key, no one can freeze your assets. This is the difference between centralization and decentralization.
How to Turn Around with Only 100,000 in the Cryptocurrency World
People often ask me how to make money in the cryptocurrency world with only 100,000? First and foremost, you must believe in the rules set by the universe; it will never completely block your path. Even if you only have a few thousand, you can still turn things around in the cryptocurrency world. If you don't believe anything and only feel jealousy when you see others making money, thinking it’s all a scam, then you are blocking your own path. 50,000 to 100,000 is the savings of a regular employee earning a few thousand a month; spending it on a favorite phone, buying other desired items, or going on a trip will quickly deplete it. When you reach 300,000 to 1 million, you will think about buying a car or a house, and others will ask to borrow some from you, then you’ll revert to your original state. Each level of wealth will have corresponding things that precisely harvest it, preventing you from accumulating capital advantages.
[Cryptocurrency] Can the contract long-short hedging really make money?
This is an article that tells everyone how to make money in the cryptocurrency world. I often encounter fans asking for guidance to make money, but I have always refused. I do not guide people to trade cryptocurrencies, do not guide people to play contracts, and definitely do not guide people to make money. Today, I just want to tell everyone a strategy for making money in the cryptocurrency world. If you find this article reliable, you can follow the strategy on your own; if you find it unreliable, just ignore it, as the gains and losses are yours to bear. People from outside who guide you to make money and let you follow their trades are just trying to take your rebate, while I refuse to let anyone follow my trades. Alright, enough small talk; let's get straight to the results.
Ethereum is starting to rise, and the altcoin bull market is just around the corner.
On July 18, 2025, it will be officially confirmed that the altcoin bull market is coming. Bitcoin is about to reach new highs again, with everyone chasing each other. Today, Ethereum continues its upward trend, strongly breaking through 3600 dollars. A strong bullish candlestick has changed the sentiment, and overnight, everyone has become optimistic about Ethereum. Today, Jack Yi, the founder of LD Capital, posted on social media stating that technical analysis is no longer necessary. As previously mentioned, do not short-sell; Wall Street and Trump will lead this market trend, and ordinary investors should simply follow. The exchange rate of Ethereum against Bitcoin is quickly returning, and the rise of Ethereum will truly bring about an industry bull market, benefiting everyone.
The only advantage retail investors have in the crypto world is time
Today, when Ethereum was at 2600, Shisan had already informed everyone in the Shisan circle to clear all leveraged positions and only keep spot positions, and to adjust based on actual conditions, maintaining long positions while setting stop-loss points for short positions to lock in profits and embrace greater profits. In the short term, this choice is good. The market is certainly still It will rise to even higher points. The reason for asking everyone to clear all leveraged positions is that this round of decline has left some friends in near despair because of their leveraged positions when the market is undervalued. Many friends had broken hearts, and some even cut losses around 1400. At that time, Shisan could only try to persuade them, but some people left the crypto world with a casual remark, quite stylishly, waving goodbye without taking a cloud with them... leaving Shisan alone in the wind, feeling disorganized.
Are there still dividends in the cryptocurrency circle?
A question I've been thinking about recently, which I find very interesting, and I want to share it. The following text has some data references, roughly including the following points. 1. Difficulty of participating in the market 2. The regular army in the market 3. Horizontal comparison of the entire capital market of the subject My conclusion is that the dividends still exist, but they are disappearing at a visibly rapid pace. There is not much time left for the younger generation. Next, I will discuss the above three points. 1. Difficulty of participating in the market (from my own trading perspective): I tweeted last year pondering how the kind of bowing trend shown in the following picture would eventually operate. The reason for my contemplation is that this kind of trend has never appeared in past Bitcoin cycles during an upward trend.
A Summary of the Fundamental Logic to Make Money in the Cryptocurrency Market
I've been through almost 10 years in the cryptocurrency space, experiencing both gains and losses. I've been involved in ICOs, meme coins, mining, etc., and have gone through three cycles of bull and bear markets. After countless operations, I've concluded that there is only one way to make steady profits: it's simple and straightforward, something everyone understands: Buy during the bear market and sell during the bull market for a sure profit. A bull market typically lasts 6 months to 1 year, while a bear market usually lasts 1 to 2 years. A full cycle of bull and bear lasts 3 to 4 years. Seize the opportunity to earn at least 50%+ returns in every bull market, which is sufficient to outperform various financial products like stocks and funds. This 50%+ return is guaranteed without any suspense.
Fundamentals: Money earned in the crypto circle in June was lost again in July, which is frustrating, equivalent to two months of work going to waste. After a two-week cooling-off period to avoid getting overly excited, the crypto market may need to pause for a moment, as there currently aren't any medium to long-term entry opportunities. Moreover, chasing long positions is not part of my trading system, especially at the end of a bull market, trying to chase long positions at historical highs carries immense risks, and there could be significant drops at any time, potentially 10,000 to 18,000 points. In such cases, short-term profits may also be discounted due to multiple stop-loss sweeps.
Why do most people fail to make money in the crypto world?
Have you ever thought about a question: why can someone who knows nothing simply earn money by regularly investing and holding onto Bitcoin? I have contemplated the essence of this issue; the root lies in their behaviors eliminating all human factor interference, making money unrelated to emotions. In investing, once personal emotional subjective judgment is involved, it can be fatal. As long as you are influenced by market emotions when investing, your returns will definitely decrease or you will incur losses, without exception. The father of quant, Simons, achieved an annual return of 64%, far exceeding Buffett's 20%.
1. Long-term investments take too long, holding Bitcoin now is a bit difficult to multiply by ten, holding altcoins has too much risk in the long run, it's a roller coaster every day, people are numb. 2. Short trading, the waves come and go, many times buying high and selling low, chasing highs and cutting losses. 3. On-chain memes. Bought a few and they all went to zero, golden dog zero profits, those making money are others, only oneself is crying. 4. Grinding airdrops. Grinded 100, and got only a few, the money given isn't even enough for gas fees, and the future is uncertain. 5. Getting into NFTs. My god, is this something poor people should be playing with? 6. Whitelist, many pitfalls, not a few runaways.
Turning around in the crypto circle, cherish every step.
First, I want to clarify: those who want to get rich quickly through this circle can dispel their fantasies. I know many people in this circle, including some big influencers and bloggers, but only a very small number of people succeed, while the majority are deeply in debt, including myself. In the past year and a half, I have repaid some urgent loans, and I am still in debt, but I have actually done quite well during this past year, which can be considered a partial understanding. I originally wanted to post a profit chart, but I was afraid it would be censored. So I will write about my experiences in the crypto circle over the past five years and some insights on gradually turning things around in the past year and a half. I hope it can help those who are currently in debt.
I believe almost everyone in the crypto world, as long as they have experienced at least one cycle, has made money—whether you are trading shitcoins, holding coins, or doing contracts, almost everyone has made money; basically, there are hardly any people who haven't made money, at least I haven't seen any. But those who ultimately make big money in the crypto world are few and far between. Why? Many people think they just didn't choose the right time to 'sell', but I will tell you, you will never choose well, even if you choose well a few times, seemingly successful flips and profits, it doesn't matter. The reason is simple, because the crypto world is your only venue.

Who in the crypto world is consistently making money?
Divided into three types of people 1. Extractors 2. Smart traders 2. Rule breakers
Extractors, as the name suggests, are those who do not participate in the betting but act as intermediaries to extract fees: - Those who earn commission from exchanges. Don’t look down on them; for big YouTubers and Weibo influencers, it’s normal to earn millions of RMB in commissions every month. Top YouTubers like MoonCarl can earn tens of millions of USD in commissions per year. Moreover, computer knowledge is very useful in this field, with some professional SEO teams focusing on the keywords in this area. Sometimes, when you search for an exchange's name on a search engine, the first result you click on is actually their referral link. These top SEO teams can earn hundreds of thousands to tens of millions in a bull market per month.
A Brief Discussion on the End of This Round of the Bull Market in the Crypto Circle
From a structural perspective, I can only say it's acceptable. I won't say this is some 'bearish level channel' nonsense; I can only say that Bitcoin has yet to break through the previous high area, and there is currently no clear market trend. I don't know how long the fluctuations will last.
What is the biggest problem? The time left for BTC in this cycle is not much. It is already the second half of 2025. Based on the previous four bull markets, even if there is a subsequent rise, there is less than half a year left. Not to mention that there is now a potential weekly double top possibility; it is directly possible that we are at the peak of the bull market, and a decline in the second half of the year is not impossible.
Why is it getting harder to make money in the crypto space?
The crypto space is like a system, At the beginning, the entropy was at its lowest, so the industry gradually thrived; Gradually, entropy begins to increase, opportunities decrease, and making money becomes difficult; Until now, entropy has almost maximized, and the opportunities to make money have almost disappeared: the new models attract fewer and fewer players, the profit-making effect is getting worse, and the duration is getting shorter. Just like what the explorers on the natural selection ship in the Three-Body Problem said when chatting with that four-dimensional object: The fish that dried up the sea are no longer; The fish that dried up the sea got on land before the sea dried up and went to the next dark forest;
In everyone's understanding, what stage do you think the cryptocurrency market is in now?
In recent days, the market sentiment can be described as 'crazy.' Bitcoin successfully broke through the 120,000 mark, and Ethereum finally surged above the $3000 mark, with strong bullish momentum that doesn't seem to be slowing down. At the same time, XRP broke through a months-long consolidation range with tremendous momentum, almost like it's on a roll. And the long-overlooked Solana has also started to quietly gain strength, resembling the awakening of a 'sleeping giant.' 01 | ETH: Is the target aimed at $4000? #ETH has finally broken out of a long period of consolidation, with a bullish candle directly engulfing the hesitation of the past few months. It is now not only steadily above $3000 but also firmly above the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages. This is technically a very healthy trend structure.
