Someone always asks me, in the crypto market, do ordinary people really have a chance? My answer has always been straightforward—yes, but opportunities are never prepared for the majority.



BTC and the entire crypto space are high-risk, high-reward battlegrounds. The risks are extreme, but precisely because it’s unrefined and not recognized by traditional standards, those vulnerabilities have long remained unexploited by the few. You compete alongside global participants; no one can completely shut the door.

I’ve seen the most outrageous things—small funds grow into astronomical figures, and I’ve also seen the same person go bankrupt after a single misjudgment. The difference isn’t intelligence; it’s just that they happened to be in the right year, in the right direction, and present.

Honestly, the survival order in the crypto world is so brutal: first, see if you’re in the right trend; second, see if your luck is strong; finally, it’s about technology and cognition.

Most people follow the same path—initially lucky and make some profit, then quickly lose it all; later, they can earn but are reluctant to leave, and when the market reverses, only the principal remains; until one day, they finally understand what patience and taking profits mean, and they experience their first complete wave of profit. It’s not about intelligence; it’s about when greed teaches you a lesson.

The times have changed. It’s no longer an era where you can double your money just by blindly buying. Market scarcity has increased, the pace has quickened, and one mistake can be fatal.

The truly effective approach is quite simple—gradually grow your principal, rely on repetition, discipline, and minimize mistakes. Trends only come a few times a year; you don’t need to catch every one. As long as you don’t miss your own cycle, your personal growth curve will be elevated.

Don’t rush to get rich overnight. In this market, those who can stick to the end have already won.

Exactly right. I used to be the kind of fool who would make a little profit and then give it all back. Now I've been awakened.

This sounds risky, but I've always said that the crypto world is a game that tests human nature, not intelligence. If you're still hesitating now, missing this wave of opportunity this year means you'll really have to wait another four years. Honestly, seizing the first opportunity is more important than anything else. I had already laid out my portfolio in advance. Those who make it to the end truly win, but the premise is that you need to enter at the right rhythm. It's not others' fault for being "cut" like chives; it's simply that they didn't seize that window of opportunity.

Exactly, having a tough life is more valuable than being smart. I've seen too many scholars beaten down by a wave of market trends.

That hits too close to home. I’m the one who made some early profits and then lost it all, hahaha... Now I finally understand what discipline means.
