#币圈 After nine years of stumbling through setbacks, from owing outside debt to now having an eight-digit account, the years 2023 and 2024 were when I finally stood firmly on my feet. Now I can stay in a hotel that costs 2,100 a night without blinking, and the confidence behind my life today was all built through years of enduring in the market. For our generation, making quick money is all about efficiency — no complicated supply chains, no messy collection disputes, and all our time is spent on things that directly generate returns. Taking fewer detours is the fastest way. People often ask me: what is the core thing that lets someone survive in this market to the very end? After thinking about it for so many years, it really comes down to two words: mindset. Technique actually comes second. Today I’m laying out my most guarded experience. Whoever can take it in will naturally avoid a few years of detours. First, BTC is always the market’s direction indicator — don’t go against the trend. When it rises, altcoins have meat to eat; when it falls, the whole group has to lie down. ETH can sometimes move independently, but don’t expect altcoins to hold up when the broader market falls. BTC and USDT are like a seesaw: when USDT strengthens, be wary of a Bitcoin pullback; when Bitcoin surges hard, remember to stock up on USDT and lock in profits. Second, remember these three time windows; getting them right is basically like picking up money: from 0:00 to 1:00 a.m., spike-like moves often appear, and placing a low-price order before bed can often snag bargains; from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m., the day’s direction is basically set — if it’s been falling through the first half of the night and still falls during these two hours, you can boldly add more, because it will mostly rebound that day; if it’s been rising through the first half of the night and still rises during these two hours, get out quickly, because there’s a high probability of a selloff. At 5:00 p.m., keep a close eye on it — U.S. capital entering the market can cause volatility at any moment. Third, the most practical experience: if it’s not a pure empty coin, don’t panic when it drops. Coins with volume support can usually recover within three to five days to a month. If you have spare cash, average down in batches; the pace of getting back to breakeven is faster than you think. If you don’t have spare cash, just hold on stubbornly — most of the time it comes back. My hardest trade was DOGE, bought at 0.085 and held until now, and it has gone up more than 20 times. Why? Just two words: patience. In the crypto world, the final competition is not about who has the biggest position or makes money fastest, but who can survive the longest. One person moving too slowly — only by following the right team can you avoid stepping into fewer pits. The path has already been shown to you; whether to walk it together is up to you.
