I’ve been trading coins for 9 years. Now I’m 38, with assets in the eight-figure range. When I go out to stay in hotels, I don’t even look at the prices.
Not bragging—just the truth. Compared with the people around me who work in factories or do e-commerce, those born in the 1980s, it’s way more comfortable.
These days, trying to turn your life around by relying on a dead-end salary is just too hard. I realized that a decade ago, so I went all in on trading directly. I’ve taken so many losses that now I have the confidence to stay grounded.
I’ve seen too many markets. I’ve been through both bull and bear, and I’ve gotten used to both explosive rallies and brutal crashes. The reason I’m still alive today is that I’ve stuck to a few principles. It’s not that my technical skills are super amazing—it’s that I know when to hide and when to charge.
The most typical case is when something rises extremely fast and falls extremely slowly—don’t chase. That’s the operator accumulating, slowly setting a trap for you. The other way around: after a brutal plunge, they come with a feeble little rebound. Don’t fantasize about catching the bottom—basically it’s the operator distributing at high levels, pretending it’s a rebound to trick you into taking the bag.
And many people see a bit of sudden volume near the top and panic to sell. But it may not actually be the top. Sometimes the operator is pulling the final leg. However, if it rises to high levels but there’s no volume, that’s when you really should run. If you don’t run, you’ll end up waiting to be the last unlucky passenger who boards.
When volume shows up at the bottom, don’t be too eager either—many times it’s a bull trap. The real signal to enter is to see consecutive days of rising volume, and it still holds steady without dropping.
In the end, trading crypto is all about trading sentiment. How the market moves depends on sentiment, and sentiment depends on trading volume. When you feel like you want to charge in, that’s when the operator is basically preparing to leave. When you feel scared and want to run, they’ve usually already bought.
That’s how the crypto world is. In the end, it’s always the same few types of people cutting and being cut. The ones who get liquidated aren’t necessarily talentless—they just can’t control their hands. Anyone who fantasizes about turning everything around with one once-in-a-lifetime windfall gets cleaned up by the market.
I don’t think I’m that great, but I’ve kept changing, kept watching, and kept learning. The money I’ve made isn’t because of luck—it’s because of doing post-trade reviews again and again, stepping into traps, and adjusting my strategy. Living on fantasy, Telegram signal groups, and luck—you won’t survive in this market for even half a year.
Now I run data with AI systems. Strategy sets are set up one after another, and I ride the waves by following the rhythm. To be blunt: the crypto market is not short of opportunities—what it lacks is people who can actually understand opportunities.
If you want to make more money, you need to follow the right people. Stop being a sheep. These days, if you’re still trading based on gut feelings, you’re pretty miserable.
The market is always there, but your principal and opportunities might only come a few times. Find Dou’er—use a systematic way of thinking to take you through the fog of investing. #CryptoMarketObservation
