After ten years in the crypto world, I finally understand life.

Entered the crypto world at 23, and now at 33, it's a full ten years.
2023-2024 these two years are my turning point, my account has reached eight digits for the first time.
Now when going out to stay in a hotel, I don't blink an eye at 2000 yuan a night; I have to bring some crypto world tokens with my suitcase and hat, so I can recognize my people wherever I go.
Compared to my elders who run factories and do e-commerce, my life is much more comfortable: I don’t have to keep an eye on the supply chain, don’t have to deal with contracts, and there are no clients defaulting on payments; the worries are pitifully few.
People often ask me: What does trading coins rely on?
After thinking it over, the answer is actually very simple—mindset comes first, and skills come second.
In recent years, I have figured out some "principles" and would like to share them with my brothers in the crypto world:
BTC is always the boss. If you want to mix in the crypto world, you must keep an eye on it. When it rises, altcoins have a chance; when it falls, all the little brothers have to follow. Occasionally, ETH will have an independent trend, but don't expect altcoins to resist the market.
BTC and USDT are like a seesaw. Remember this: when USDT rises, be careful with Bitcoin; when Bitcoin rises sharply, it's wise to hold some USDT to secure profits.
Two key periods:
Between 0-1 AM, it's easy to "pin" (manipulate the price), placing orders before sleep often allows for easy gains;
6-8 AM, the barometer for the day's market trend:
The first half of the night saw a drop, and it has continued to decline for the past two hours. Just close your eyes and add positions; there is a high probability that it will rise back up the same day.
The price rises in the first half of the night, and it has risen in the last two hours, so it's time to run; it will likely drop by the end of the day.
At 5 PM, don't get distracted. Due to the time difference, American funds have just entered the market, and this is when big fluctuations are most likely to occur.
"Black Friday"? Don't be too superstitious. Fridays have seen drops, but they have also risen and been flat; the key still lies in the news.
The most practical line:
As long as it is not a scam coin and has trading volume, don't panic if it drops. In three to five days, or a month, it will always come back.
If you have extra money, buy in batches to lower costs and recover quickly; if you don't have extra money, just hold on, it's not a big issue.
My proudest trade: I bought Dogecoin at 0.085 and have held onto it until now, with over 20 times the return.
It turns out: In the end, trading coins is all about patience.
