#Strategy加仓BTC Five Bottom Lines for Newcomers to the Crypto World to Survive



Many people enter the crypto space hoping to get rich overnight, only to end up losing everything. Actually, surviving is much harder than making quick money. I’ve summarized five iron rules that you must remember if you want to stay in the game long-term.

First, avoid trading contracts. Leverage of 5 to 10 times may seem to double your gains, but the risk is outrageously high. A 20% daily fluctuation in $BTC is normal; a single spike can wipe out your margin, and going broke is just a matter of time. Beginners should honestly start with spot trading—this is a painful lesson.

Second, only trust leading coins. Top-tier cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have withstood countless bull and bear cycles, with real applications supporting their value. In contrast, 99% of altcoins will eventually go to zero. Chasing after these coins and buying in is like actively giving money to market manipulators.

The way to make money is simple—buy low, sell high. Cryptocurrencies are not like stocks with dividends; it’s a zero-sum game. The key is to learn how to judge market cycles—hold coins during bear markets and sell at the right time during bull markets.

Another trap is rushing to buy the dip. We are still in a bear market stage, and big funds haven’t fully entered the market. Going all-in alone just makes you a bagholder for institutions. Be patient and wait for trend reversal signals; it’s much wiser than blindly jumping in.

Finally, and most importantly—invest with spare money. The risks in the crypto space have always outweighed the opportunities. Never gamble your life savings. Staying in the market is more valuable than making quick money. Opportunities are everywhere every day, as long as you’re still alive. $ETH

Contracts are really a beginner's graveyard. My friend used 5x leverage and was liquidated with one spike. Play the spot market slowly; the leading projects are the real deal. Losing money is easy, but staying alive is hard. That really hits home. Don't rush to buy the dip; wait for signals. Using idle funds to enter is the best strategy, a truly profitable realization.

Contracts are really a killer for beginners; several friends around me have lost their money this way. --- Leading coins are indeed stable, but do you dare to increase your position now given the current situation? --- The worst mentality is trying to catch the bottom; every time thinking you can hold until the end. --- Investing with idle money is spot on; so many people have even used up their living expenses. --- Selling high and buying low sounds easy, but actually doing it is difficult; who can truly judge market cycles? --- The temptation of quick profits from altcoins is really strong, but most end up getting wiped out. --- Surviving is indeed more important than getting rich overnight, but who can truly insist on using only idle funds? --- I have to warn my beginner friends not to touch contracts; too many have been liquidated because of leverage. --- Those still going all-in now are either very brave or have a really hard head. --- The bear market accumulation strategy is correct, but the psychological pressure is just too much.
