#ๆฐๅญ่ตไบงๅธๅบๆดๅฏ Earning a lifetime's worth of U, or earning U for a lifetime? I've pondered this question for 8 years.
When I first entered the space at 25, I knew nothing. Now at 33, from my account first breaking eight figures to now understanding some tricks with $BTC, $ETH, $BNB and other mainstream coins. The two years from 2021 to 2022 were truly my watershed moments. Back then, those who acted quickly had already tasted the sweetness.
A hotel costing 10,000 a night, I don't blink. Sounds impulsive? But these days, those who can afford the premium are often the ones who understand what "time cost" really means. No need to obsess over supply chains, no need to fuss over receivables. My energy should be spent on high-value areas.
People often ask me: how exactly do you trade crypto? I've thought about it for a long time, and the answer is surprisingly simpleโmindset first, skills second.
Here are a few "survival rules" I've developed over the years:
**BTC is always the big brother**. If you want to make it in this space, you have to keep an eye on its movements. When it rises, altcoins have a chance; when it falls, small coins all follow suit. Occasionally, $ETH will have its own trend, but donโt expect small coins to resist the big marketโthat's wishful thinking.
**BTC and USDT are like a seesaw**. Remember this: when USDT is rising, Bitcoin needs to be cautious; when Bitcoin surges too fast, quickly stash some USDT to lock in profits. This is the simplest hedging strategy.
**Two key trading periods to watch**: 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM, when you often see "price spikes"โorders placed the night before, which can be a freebie. 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM is also critical; these two hours can reveal the marketโs direction for the whole day: if it dips in the first half of the night and continues to fall during these hours, just add to your positionโchances are it will rally later that day; if it rises in the first half and continues to go up, then quickly exitโmost likely it will drop soon.
At 5:00 PM, donโt get distracted. US funds are just entering, and big swings are most likely.
"Black Friday" type sayings? Donโt take them too seriously. Yes, Fridays have dipped before, but theyโve also risen and consolidated; it all depends on the news.
**The most practical tip**: as long as itโs not an air coin, and the coin has trading volume, donโt panic when it drops. Whether itโs three or five days, or a month, it will come back. If you have extra funds, buy in batches to lower your average costโthis helps you recover faster; if not, hold tightโit's not a big deal.
The trade Iโm most proud of: bought Dogecoin at $0.085 and held it until now, more than 20x profit. Someone asked why I didnโt sell at the high? Because I saw through it long agoโtrading crypto ultimately comes down to patience. Those who stare at the K-line every day tend to lose the most quickly.
