#数字资产动态追踪 has been navigating the crypto market for 8 years. From entering the scene at age 30 to achieving initial success at 38, I have poured my most valuable investment energy into this period.



In 2024 to 2025, my account finally crossed the eight-figure threshold. Ironically, as assets grew, life actually simplified — every day is about monitoring the market, watching key contract positions, and positioning spot holdings at the right moments.

Over time, I discovered a fundamental rule: making money in the crypto space is not about luck; it’s about whether you can see through where the funds are moving.

Bitcoin, the market’s stabilizing force, influences about 90% of the trends. Ethereum occasionally breaks out independently, while altcoins mostly follow the trend. By observing the interaction between $BTC and stablecoins, you can gauge market risk — when stablecoins flood in, the market is consolidating; when $BTC starts to move, it’s time to consider taking profits.

Timing is everything. Exchanges tend to manipulate prices around midnight, and the main trend for the day is often set between 6 and 8 a.m. When the US market opens at 5 p.m., liquidity surges instantly, and the situation can reverse in an instant. The risk of key dates being marked is real, but the most direct impact always comes from the amount of funds and information pre-judgment. This isn’t some mystical science; it’s the feeling I’ve built through real trades, one after another.

The most painful lesson:

If you don’t have an advantage in execution speed with spot trading, then your success depends on your mindset and capital. A good coin’s decline isn’t a threat; the real threat is your own panic. With stablecoins, you can stagger your entries to lower costs; if you lack funds, wait for time to smooth out volatility. Those who trade frequently always end up losing to those with patience.

From a solo trader trying to find his way in the dark to now mastering these rhythms — the market’s lights are on, and each move I make feels more confident.

Eight years of blood, sweat, and tears have earned an eight-figure sum; really, you have to risk your life to fill it. Talking about mindset is easy; after surviving a few margin calls, you'll understand. When stablecoins flood in, you should be ready with take-profit triggers, I agree with that. Those who frequently trade are still asking "When is the bottom?" haha. From 30 to 38 in 8 years, I literally threw the best years of my life into it. Saying "simplify life" is actually being forced to simplify. When BTC moves, the whole market follows; retail investors are always playing the game of chasing highs and selling lows. I also noticed that early morning between 6-8 AM, but my slow reaction got me washed out several times. The phrase "no funds, no time" hits hard, but most people can't wait.

After 8 years of hard work, I finally realized this: it's all about watching the funds, not the technical charts. The amount of capital determines everything; mindset is far more important than quick reflexes. When stablecoins enter the market, you should stay calm. Those who immediately buy the dip when $BTC moves are all newbies... By the way, what happened to those who traded frequently? They should have been eaten up completely by the patient investors.

After 8 years of sharpening my sword, this time I really feel like I’ve bottomed out and caught the vibe. That’s right, mindset is worth much more than quick reflexes. It sounds pretty harsh, but the problem is that people with stablecoins are still a minority. The "midnight needle" joke has been overused for a long time; the key is whether you have the patience. Frequent trading loses to those with patience, I agree with this statement—nobody wants to wait. Eight figures and still watching the market, luckily I have a steady mindset; otherwise, I would have given up long ago.

The lesson learned after 8 years, others have given up in just 2 years. But honestly, there are quite a few people who get so obsessed with watching the market that they drive themselves into depression, haha. Mindset is really the key. I've seen people holding good coins but end up scaring themselves out of the market... I've noted the signal for entering the stablecoin market. I'll try it next time.
