Seize the opportunity to earn at least 50%+ profits in each round of bull market, enough to outperform various financial products, stocks, and funds. Because this 50%+ profit is certain to be gained, with no suspense.
1. Only layout in a bear market.
You must be patient and try to layout at the bottom of the bear market (although it's impossible to buy at the true bottom of the bear market). A simple way to judge the bottom of a bear market is to see if no one is paying attention to Bitcoin, and the crypto world is lifeless. You can buy intermittently during this period, which may last for a year or even longer.
2. Mainstream coins.
BTC and ETH will always be the kings of the crypto world, buying in a bear market is definitely not wrong. Although they may not rise exponentially, buying in a bear market and holding until the bull market to sell will definitely yield a gain of over 50%. This is the first choice for large capital.
Exchange platform coins: such as BNB.
Relatively strong foundational chains: such as SOL, AVAX.
Good infrastructure coins: such as MATIC
Strong consensus coins: such as DOGE, SHIB, RATS, PEPE
You can only invest heavily in mainstream coins; never invest heavily in altcoins. The logic of altcoins is to harvest retail investors; many types of altcoins will emerge in each round of bull market. Altcoins that soar in this round may be completely dormant in the next round, overshadowed by new altcoins. Without internal channels or news, it is almost impossible to pick an altcoin to buy before it explodes. Usually, people only find out about an altcoin after it has surged, and by then, it is already too late to follow in. Maybe with a stroke of luck, this coin might continue to rise, but the probability is high that it will fluctuate downwards. Altcoins are too volatile; for most people, it is hard to hold onto them regardless of whether they rise or fall. It often ends up being a small profit followed by a big loss. In the end, it all adds up to a loss.
3. Sell in the mid-bull market, and do not operate afterwards.
In the early stages of a bull market, BTC will rise slowly, standing out alone and driving up ETH. At this time, some good mainstream coins will rise alongside, while other coins will gradually increase, and a few altcoins will soar, with most altcoins showing little movement.
In the mid-bull market, BTC and ETH fluctuate upwards, mainstream coins gain momentum, and altcoins begin to activate.
In the later stages of a bull market, BTC fluctuates downwards, while ETH may continue to rise sharply, mainstream coins follow suit, and the highlight altcoins of the next bull market may surge several times, even tens or hundreds of times.
At the end of a bull market, BTC experiences a drop of several thousand points, even tens of thousands of points, followed by a slight recovery. The first drop recovers quickly, giving the illusion that it is merely an adjustment. After two or three such drops, the bull market is declared over. If you find yourself trapped at this point, please do not harbor any illusions and cut your losses in time. Otherwise, your principal will be dragged into an abyss.
4. Do not gamble in a bull market.
There are many opportunities during a bull market, especially in the later stages when altcoins are fluctuating wildly, and many altcoins experience significant surges, making one envious. This can lead to an impatient rush to follow or impulsively invest heavily in certain promising but yet-to-explode altcoins, while waiting confidently for their rise. This mindset is best avoided as it is essentially gambling on luck, akin to gambling, and has nothing to do with investment.
Every round of bull market will give birth to many altcoins that harvest retail investors; these altcoins often have strong hype and seemingly powerful backgrounds, and their price increases rapidly. Please resist the temptation; only after the tide goes out will you know who is swimming naked. When BTC crashes and the bear market arrives, these altcoins will be halved, quartered, or even approach zero.
If you can't resist the temptation, you can only use a very small amount of funds to play along. Even if you make a small profit, do not impulsively go all in. Absolutely do not, absolutely do not, absolutely do not. This is considered gambling, and luck cannot always be on your side. It doesn't matter if you make a hundred profits; what matters is if you lose just once, you could lose all your capital for a restart. Don't fantasize about investing heavily in an altcoin and getting rich; this is akin to dreaming about winning the lottery, a super low probability event. Small funds can be played for fun, but treating it as an investment is a huge mistake.
5. More patience, less impulsiveness.
After buying in a bear market, you need to patiently wait to sell in a bull market. Do not make any moves during the ups and downs; waiting requires patience.
After selling in a bull market, patiently wait for the bull market to collapse and enter a bear market. This may take one or two years. Do not impulsively try to bottom out halfway up the hill; instead, patiently wait for the moment it hits the valley.
After selling for a profit in a bull market, do not impulsively indulge in altcoins. If you really want to gamble, you can only use at most 10% of your funds.
6. Your principal is always the most important.
If you accidentally get trapped due to reckless operations, preserving your principal is the most important thing. When the crypto market crashes, be willing to cut losses in time to protect most of your principal and maintain your basic capital. There's still hope for a comeback. Patiently wait for the crypto market to hit rock bottom, then use the remaining capital to buy in. Don't just hold onto a trapped position and accompany the crypto market in its crash; often, if you sell the trapped coins before a market crash, you may only lose up to 50% of your principal. If you ignore it and let it drop, sticking it out to the end, when the coin drops with the market, the remaining principal will have almost no chance of a restart.
