New to the crypto world, your mind is full of "tenfold coins" and "hundredfold legends." After half a year of messing around, your principal has shrunk by half, then shrunk again. I've seen too many stories like this—losers aren't because of poor skills, but because they get killed by greed.

Here's a painful truth—one of the easiest ways to make money in the crypto space that people often overlook is the strategy of "monthly stable profits." Earning 5% per month may sound dull, but with compound interest over a year, it adds up to 60%+, which already leaves 90% of traders chasing highs and panicking behind.

**Why does slow and steady win more thoroughly?**

Market volatility is real. But big swings ≠ you can always catch them. Those who frequently chase highs and bottom-fish end up contributing to exchanges and slippage. In contrast, people who use dollar-cost averaging or grid trading rely on discipline to suppress emotions—no matter how wild the market gets, you only earn within your strategic framework.

Surviving is more important than getting rich quickly. Beginners want to go all-in and achieve financial freedom, but experienced traders understand: survival comes first. Staking ETH, SOL, and other mainstream coins can yield 5%-10% annualized; or engaging in stablecoin arbitrage, which may seem thin in profit but has the advantage of never getting liquidated, ensuring quality sleep.

The players who truly make big money leverage time. Dollar-cost averaging into BTC and ETH, accumulating during bear markets, and cashing out during bull runs. Patience is more scarce in the crypto space than technical skills.

**How to operate reliably?**

Put the main allocation into BTC and ETH—this is your core position, held long-term with staking. The remaining small funds (within 20% of the total) can participate in airdrops or Launchpad projects with strong backing, which can bring some extra gains while keeping risk within acceptable limits. An 8:2 split ensures safety while leaving room for potential growth.
