The backend often receives questions like: "Can 50,000 yuan in the crypto market double in one year?" Honestly, it’s possible, but most people misunderstand the direction.

What is the truth of this industry? The difference between those who make money and those who lose money is not the amount of capital but the mindset. Those who frequently tell you to go all-in on a certain coin are nine times out of ten either wielding a sickle or have been cut.

After so many years, what I want to share most are four practical summaries. Learning these at least allows you to survive longer in this market and earn more steadily.

**First: Compared to chasing highs and selling lows, timing the rhythm is much more valuable**

The most common mistake beginners make is rushing in when a coin surges. It’s always the same story: buy at the top, get trapped, cut losses, then rebound. Why? Because they haven’t really understood what stage the market is in.

My approach is phased management: in the early stage of the market, I allocate a portion of mainstream coins in batches, using a small amount of funds to test the current hot sectors. The goal at this stage isn’t to make money but to understand where market sentiment is. In the mid-term, I use small positions for swing trading; once I’ve made enough, I exit—don’t try to eat the last piece of meat. In the later stage, take profits when the time is right, convert gains into stable assets, and avoid greed.

Honestly, accurately catching 2 to 3 major market waves in a year is far more profitable than chasing hot spots every day. I have a student who started with 100,000 yuan last year; based on this logic, he made a 30% profit on mainstream coins in one wave, another 40% in hot sectors, and by the end of the year, his account had grown significantly. It’s not luck; it’s because he truly understood the market’s rhythm.
