I rarely talk about myself, but today I want to share a bit.

I entered the crypto space at 22, and now, with 30 approaching, I realize I’ve spent nearly eight years grinding in this market.

During bull runs, the numbers in my account jumped so much I couldn’t sleep. In bear markets, I’ve experienced liquidation more than once. Watching the charts at 3 a.m. with my heart pounding, feeling suffocated by the pressure of margin calls—only those who’ve truly lost money in this space can understand how real that feels.

But this year, I finally turned things around.

The afternoon my account broke eight figures for the first time, I sat in front of my computer dazed for half an hour. There wasn’t the excitement or euphoria I’d imagined, just a sense of relief—“I finally made it.”

Outsiders always think making money with crypto is easy, but only we know how many all-nighters it takes to get here.

As more people started following me, I often got messages like, “Why are you so steady? How do you always spot opportunities with just a few words?”

I’ve thought about it a lot, and realized the real difference is never luck—it’s your level of understanding and your patience.

**BTC sets the overall direction**
No matter what coin you’re trading, BTC is always the market’s weather vane. When it rises, the whole market comes alive; when it falls, all the altcoins collapse. Don’t fantasize about altcoins mooning against the trend—occasionally one or two stand out, but most of the time that’s just wishful thinking.

**ETH controls the pace**
Many people fixate on hyped-up small caps and forget that real capital flow is led by ETH. When it moves, it means money is searching for the next breakout. But remember, ETH isn’t a sentiment-driven play—it’s always tied to the main market, just reacts a bit faster.

**As long as it’s not a dead coin, don’t panic on a dip**
As long as there’s still volume and money in a coin, whether it takes three days or two weeks, there will usually be a window for a rebound. Retail’s biggest problem is panicking at every drop, selling at the bottom, and watching it recover right after. If you have cash, average down; if not, just sit tight—impatience is your worst enemy here.

My best trade was going all-in on DOGE around 0.08.

Everyone said it was dead, but I held on for two years and finally exited with over 20x gains.

In the end, I realized that in crypto, it’s not about some advanced technique or extraordinary talent—it’s whether you can keep a clear head in the midst of chaos.

If you’re still finding your way, I’m willing to share all the traps I’ve fallen into and the tricks I’ve seen over the years, to help you avoid unnecessary detours.

The market always rewards those who are patient and understand the rhythm.
