A classic story circulates in the crypto world: ten years ago, someone invested 100,000 yuan in the market, and by the end of the year, Bitcoin experienced a hundredfold increase, turning their assets into tens of millions. Subsequently, this person grew their wealth from tens of millions to hundreds of billions. Although they are given various nicknames, few have seriously thought about—what exactly did they do right?

At its core, it boils down to four things.

First: Choose obscure places.

In 2013, when Bitcoin was just starting to rise, most people doubted whether it could make money. In 2020, during the DeFi explosion, the market was also full of skepticism. True opportunities are often like this—quiet at the start, lively at the end. While profits can indeed be made in lively areas, ultimately, the responsibility for losses often falls on you.

Second: Choose a path that can be坚持十年.

In the crypto world, a new hot trend appears almost every three days, but truly unchanging trends take ten years. Should you choose between chasing the next viral meme coin and seeking structural opportunities? The former relies on speed and luck, while the latter depends on foresight and cognition. Clearly, the latter’s profit cycle is longer.

Third: Focus on projects that can bring real收益.

This is the most critical point. If a coin only relies on stories like "pump, lock-up, expect a surge," then be cautious. In a bull market, everything looks good, but when a bear market arrives, only projects capable of generating actual cash flow can survive.

Fourth: Never涉足领域你不了解的领域.

Many losses are not due to insufficient research, but because even after researching, you cannot fully understand, yet still choose to go all in. If you can坚持"不懂不投"原则, you are already ahead of most people.

These sound simple, but how many people can truly do them? Most are easily swayed by emotions—betting everything during FOMO, selling at lows in panic. The consistent logic for making money is always the same—sow when no one is paying attention, hold when consensus is forming, and stay calm when the crowd is crowded.

The market is creating new stories every day, and everyone is afraid of missing out. But those who truly make money often do not chase every hot spot; instead, they stick to an unchanging framework. If you carefully examine your current holdings and find that none fully meet these four points—then be patient and wait. Now might be the best time to get on board.
