Listen to me honestly, over these ten or so years of trading cryptocurrencies, my biggest takeaway isn't learning to read K-line charts, but understanding a simple truth: making money isn't about skills, it's about surviving.

Many people think the bull market is a cash machine, but in fact, the bull market is a IQ filter. I've seen retail investors chase one coin after another, farm airdrops, and gamble on shitcoins, ending up with nothing. My approach may sound old-fashioned and a bit funny: when the bull market arrives, focus only on the leading project in one sector, then wait for the main upward wave. It sounds like common sense, but just like that, two correct bets on coins are enough for an ordinary person to work for ten years.

The hardest part of a bull market isn't messing around, but being able to lie flat. This requires more courage than gambling.

After exploring for so many years, I’ve summarized these three iron rules, which are truly gained through blood and tears:

First, new coins always have more stories than old coins. In the crypto world, there’s no "sentiment," only expectations. Old coins are like exes, occasionally popping up to fake a resurrection, but never think about reconciling.

Second, contracts are not magic for quick profits; they are a double-edged sword. If you really want to get involved, never use leverage over 5x, and set a stop-loss. Those who hold on waiting for a turnaround usually end up as "martyrs."

Third, timing is crucial. Selling coins at the peak of a bull market requires ruthlessness, and the bottom of a bear market is the real time to accumulate chips. Altcoins may skyrocket during a bull market, but when the bear hits, it’s a hell of cutting losses. Understanding this difference means winning half the battle.
