People often ask me: 'Can ordinary people turn their fortunes around in the cryptocurrency world?' My answer is 'yes'—but the premise is you must first understand that 'the cryptocurrency world is not a casino, but a battlefield that requires knowledge, mindset, and courage'.
I have seen too many people rush into the cryptocurrency world with fantasies of 'getting rich overnight', chasing after K line spikes, cutting losses during crashes, and ultimately losing all their principal; I have also seen people let go of 'ordinary people's stubborn thinking', starting from scratch to learn knowledge, cultivate their mindset, and in 3 years, grow their account from a monthly salary of 5,000 to 8 figures. The cryptocurrency world is indeed an 'opportunity window' for ordinary people to cross social classes, but this window is only open for those who are 'prepared, can control human nature, and dare to break through their understanding'. If you come in with a strong gambling mentality and stubbornness, it will only lead you to doubt life.
Not understanding market trends and 'following the trend' is like giving away money.
There is a heart-wrenching truth in the cryptocurrency world: 80% of retail investors lose not because of bad luck, but because they 'dare to operate without knowledge'—buying when others say 'this coin will rise', chasing when the K line is red, and cutting losses when it's green, completely unaware of 'why it rises and why it falls', ultimately becoming 'the stepping stone for others to make money'.
I have a friend who, in 2023, heard someone say 'SOL is going to skyrocket', without looking at any data, directly invested all his savings of 30,000 USD into SOL when the price was 120 USD, only to see it drop after buying. When it fell to 90 USD, he panicked and quickly cut losses, losing 7,500 USD; later when SOL rose back to 130 USD, he got greedy and chased the price again, resulting in another drop. He repeated this process 3 times, and his 30,000 USD principal was reduced to only 8,000 USD. I asked him 'Do you know why SOL rises and falls?' He said 'I don't know, others say it will rise so I buy, when it falls I fear losing more'—this kind of 'following the trend without skills' is no different from 'betting on high or low' in a casino, losing is inevitable and winning is accidental.
Those who can truly make money in the cryptocurrency world all understand 'learn knowledge before entering the market': they spend time researching the fundamentals of BTC and ETH (such as BTC's halving cycle and ETH's Cancun upgrade), they look at technical indicators (like MACD golden cross and death cross, RSI overbought and oversold), and they analyze capital flows (like ETF net inflow and whale holding changes). For example, in June 2024, ETH will undergo a Cancun upgrade, and 3 months in advance, data showed that 'Layer 2 ecological funds are continuously flowing in', knowledgeable people laid out their positions early, and after the upgrade, ETH rose by 8%, while those who didn't understand could only chase the price after it rose, getting stuck at high levels.
If you can't break out of 'ordinary people's thinking', don't enter the market: if you want to cross social classes, first break the cage of understanding.
Many people say 'virtual currency is illegal' and 'this is a scam', but these are all 'the cognitive limitations of ordinary people'—they are unwilling to learn new things and dare not try, so they can only watch others make money while they remain stagnant.
I have a relative who, in 2021, I advised to learn about BTC. He said, 'This is a scam, the government does not recognize it', and said, 'Don't get into this, working steadily is more reliable'; as a result, in 2024, when BTC rose to $50,000, he saw how I improved my life through cryptocurrency and regrettably said, 'I should have listened to you back then'. The truth is not that he lacked opportunity, but he was trapped by 'ordinary people's thinking'—believing that 'the obedient child in the eyes of parents and friends is right', thinking 'things I haven't heard of are dangerous', and ultimately missing the opportunity.
The reason why the cryptocurrency world is an 'opportunity for ordinary people to turn their fortunes around' is that it breaks the 'class barriers' of traditional industries—there's no need for you to have a background, resources, or a high education. As long as you are willing to learn and dare to try, you can seize the opportunity. For instance, I know a post-95s individual who never went to university, previously worked in a factory with a monthly salary of 3,000. Starting in 2022, he learned about cryptocurrency, began with a principal of 1,000 USD, and through long-term spot trading, made it to 200,000 USD in 3 years; there's also a mother who learns technology whenever her child sleeps, making a stable profit of 20,000 USD per month from contract trading, much more than she earned from her previous job.
Lastly, I want to say: the cryptocurrency world can turn fortunes around, but don't come in with a 'gambler's mentality'.
The cryptocurrency world is indeed a 'good opportunity' for ordinary people to cross social classes, but this opportunity is only available to 'prepared individuals': you must first learn knowledge and understand market trends; then cultivate your mindset, control human nature; and finally break through your understanding and dare to try new things.
If you enter with the mindset of 'no skills, following the trend, unable to control human nature, unable to think outside the box', this will only lead to massive losses; however, if you are willing to spend time learning, put in effort to cultivate your mindset, and have the courage to break through yourself, this could become a place that changes your destiny.
The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now. If you really want to turn your fortune around in the cryptocurrency world, start from now: let go of your gambling mentality, curb your stubbornness, learn knowledge, and bravely try—don't let 'ordinary people's thinking' block your path to crossing social classes.
