Over 8 years of navigating the crypto world, I’ve summarized a few ironclad rules for survival to share with everyone.



First trap: The bull market dazzles, and you want to buy everything.
Actually, the most profitable are never the all-rounders. My approach is to focus on one track, wait for it to rise, then jump in— for example, when the AI concept heats up, research who is leading the first tier, who will catch up later, and who can ride the entire wave. Grabbing one of these means you’ve caught the whole market trend, achieving more with less.

Second trap: Old coins are cheap and look tempting.
Don’t be fooled by the price. New coins have stories, expectations, and are easy to attract funds; old coins are mostly emotional traps, and a low price actually indicates the market has long abandoned them. The crypto world is so realistic—hot spots attract money.

Third trap: Disrespecting cycles.
This is the most deadly. A four-year cycle is an iron law. When you hear everyone saying “this coin will tenfold,” don’t listen—when the market is at its end, and taxi drivers and restaurant owners are talking about crypto, that’s a top signal. If you haven’t exited yet, the bear market will teach you what a 90% cut feels like.

The core logic is actually very “earthy”: don’t chase the hot trends, because you’ll only catch the tail. The ones making money are never the smartest, but those who survive a full cycle and keep their rhythm. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is those who make it to the end. If you’re still confused, try this “simple method”—the key is having the courage to slow down, not be driven by emotions, and act when it’s time to buy or clear your positions.

nah the "focus one narrative" thesis only works if you actually run the numbers on basis points between entry and exit tbh... most people just fomo into whatever's pumping then wonder why they're underwater lol

That's right, riding the trend is indeed catching the tail end. I only realize now that I've been messing around blindly and have learned my lesson.

That's right, but I'm just worried that some people will still be unable to change their habit of chasing gains and selling losses after hearing this.
