1. Many people lose money in the cryptocurrency world mainly because their expectations are too high, such as wanting to earn 10 or even 100 times in a year, which inevitably carries significant risks. The bigger the things you want, the further they will be from you. However, people often get swept up by emotions and forget about risks, betting everything, and ultimately cutting losses and leaving the market. Continuous losses lead to a diminishing principal, resulting in a significant loss. Wanting to recover losses leads to playing contracts or doing PVP with low-quality projects, resulting in even greater losses.
You might see others playing contracts and PVP, but their model is different. They originally had no money, maybe starting with 1000 or 500 and growing it big, while you are directly using large assets to play. The more you play, the more your mindset collapses. Building a mindset takes 1 to 2 years of accumulation, but it can be destroyed in just 5 minutes with a sudden market crash.
Next, I’ll talk about a method where even a fool can earn two 50% returns in a year. One way is to regularly invest in Bitcoin, sticking to it during a bear market. By the second year, you can basically earn double without any problem. If you start investing at the beginning of a bull market, then investing for six months to a year, earning 50% is also no problem. When the cryptocurrency market is bullish, if you regularly invest in mainstream meme coins and stick with it for six months to a year, earning 50% is also no issue. Each time you earn 50%, consider selling; how much it rises later is not your concern. The emotional money afterwards is not yours to earn; you can stop in time. Therefore, through this method, completing two 50% returns in a year is something anyone can do. It seems simple but is not easy because it requires extreme patience and confidence. During the investment process, every time it drops, you will involuntarily think about what if it goes to zero, what if it doesn’t rise, and various distractions will interfere with you. If no one provides psychological support, about 60% of people will exit. If someone provides psychological support, perhaps only 20% will exit. If you stretch this time to two years, the number of people exiting might astonishingly reach 80%.
This is the difference in people's patience; your experience of time and the targets is essentially the same.
I rarely see people making money from regular investments because many people actually look down on this kind of return, consider themselves superior, and refuse to use this foolproof method. They must show off their skills and strategies. However, as time goes on, the market will teach them humility. If you say you want to charge for a regular investment group, you would definitely be scolded severely. Who doesn’t know about regular investment? This is just a way to harvest the unsuspecting.
You cannot consistently make money and accumulate compound interest from playing contracts, PVP, or swing trading without having an information advantage. This is because earning from two trades and losing one can cover your gains, ultimately resulting in no accumulation. This is the fundamental reason why such models cannot accumulate large amounts of capital.
If you have an information advantage, then naturally you can make money, and this can happen extremely quickly. I made a 50% return in just 6 days by shorting a small coin. Earning one 50% in a year is not difficult at all; over 4 years, that’s 5 times. The challenge is to have the determination to ignore distractions and temptations. Is earning two 50% difficult? There’s a bit of a challenge in grasping the cycle and rhythm, but it’s not too hard. So, over 4 years, that’s 25 times. Removing the difficulty part, I estimate a 10 times return over 4 years. This is a logical return. If you use your principal for a one-time gamble, buying what you like, that is the worst money-making strategy, and you will mostly lose. The market is full of traps; what you think looks good is precisely what someone else wants to sell.
I still say the same thing: the bigger the things you want, the further they will be from you. Your desire is proportional to the difficulty of achieving that desire. So when choosing targets, you must respect the market and not impose your own ideas. People often ask me about this coin or that coin. I glance and generally say there’s a lot of exaggeration. If the other party does not agree, I won’t argue; I respect their views. Because I already have the best money-making strategy suited to me, and I won't earn too little this way. I can't compare with someone who earns millions from a contract because I do not have that mindset or strength.
I cannot accept a total loss of capital; I know I despise permanent total loss, so I will resolutely not engage in it. Many people cannot earn from regular investments due to three core reasons: when the market drops, they do not dare to buy; if it keeps dropping, they won’t take action, and they simply cut losses or give up. When there is a big surge, they feel the investment is too little and recklessly increase their positions, resulting in a drop, and then they have no funds left to average down, buying at the peak. Also, even after earning over 50%, many people are reluctant to sell, wanting 100%. You need to understand that earning 100% once and earning 50% twice is completely different in terms of difficulty.
Please repeat this sentence: The bigger the things you want, the further they will be from you. Those who aim to earn 100% do not respect the objective reality of the market. They want to consume everything from start to finish because that’s how regular investment works. You cannot buy at the highest or lowest. Even if a coin eventually rises 5 times, you might only earn 50%. At that time, don’t disdain the small profit; most people are losing money. Earning 50% means you have already outperformed the vast majority of those who bought that coin. You have earned a lot. For those coins with the potential to rise 3-5 times, I only earn 50%.
I achieve my goals through multiple 50% gains; it becomes very easy for me. Investing is not an exam where you must score 90 points to excel. Investing is a marathon. Earning 50% once, and 10 times 50% is 25 times. If you do well, you can achieve 25 times in 4 years. It's entirely possible. The only thing you need in this process is patience.
I do not recommend playing with regular investment if you have too little money; I suggest having at least 100,000, preferably 300,000, and if you have a few million, that's even better. It makes playing much more enjoyable. You don’t need to predict the market but rather respect its direction. You earn money through repeated regular investments; you can calculate how much you can earn. At this moment, you will feel that you are really impressive.
