Apply the ancient saying “First fate, then luck, then feng shui” to crypto, and you’ll find that the crypto world is the ultimate magnification of this underlying logic.
In a bull market, you make money; in a bear market, you stay alive. It really comes down to these ten dimensions:
1️⃣ Fate (when you entered the market): Did you get in in 2011, 2017, or 2024? Your starting conditions determine your immunity to risk.
2️⃣ Luck (macro cycles): Fed liquidity, Bitcoin halvings, sector rotations. Those who go with the trend profit; those who go against it get liquidated.
3️⃣ Feng shui (information sources and circles): Do you spend your days in quality alpha groups, or in groups full of low-quality coins waiting to dump on buyers? Your information edge is your feng shui.
4️⃣ Good karma (integrity): Don’t do evil, front-run your own trades, or dump on your followers. A good reputation is an intangible asset in Web3.
5️⃣ Study (upgrading your knowledge): Learn to understand tokenomics, candlestick charts, and smart contract vulnerabilities. Crypto is a machine for extracting an “IQ tax.”
6️⃣ Reputation (personal brand): Build influence on Twitter. A strong reputation gives you an edge in getting whitelisted and landing investment and financing deals.
7️⃣ Demeanor (emotional stability): Don’t show fear, FOMO, or spread FUD. No matter how bad the market looks, a calm, rock-solid presence and mindset are what make a winner.
8️⃣ Respect the gods (respect risk): Respect the laws of the market, and never touch high-leverage contracts beyond your understanding.
9️⃣ Connect with benefactors (key circles): Get close to top influencers or early-stage project teams, and you can avoid five years of detours.
🔟 Take care of yourself (position sizing and energy): Crypto never sleeps. Staying up all night and burning yourself out is no better than regularly investing in spot. You have to live long enough to reap the rewards of a full market cycle.
Many people blame their losses on bad luck, when in reality the other eight dimensions have completely fallen apart.
