Chasing trends and making a little profit isn't enough to pay the 'tuition' for market fluctuations. During the toughest times, I could only dare to order a medium cup of milk tea. It wasn't until last year that I resolutely decided to 'declutter' that I finally transformed from 'losing my principal' to 'earning passively'. Now my account steadily grows by 5%-8% each month, and I no longer have to stare at the candlestick charts and lose my hair!
Let me first talk about the pitfalls I've encountered, which I'm sure you've also fallen into: I once heard someone say 'staking new coins can make you rich', and in a moment of impulse, I invested 540U, only for that coin to 'disappear' as if it had evaporated, and I didn't even get back the principal amount — looking back now, that money could have bought me half a year's worth of strawberry cakes! Also, when the Web3 trend was just heating up, I followed the hype and bought several 'concept coins', thinking I could ride the wave, but the coin prices fell more steadily than my salary, and I’m stuck with them now, not even wanting to look at them, a classic case of 'paying the intelligence tax'.
It wasn’t until last year’s bear market that I finally understood: trading coins is not about 'who trades more', but 'who chooses better'. After ruthlessly clearing out all the 'junk coins', I only kept 5 core assets. To my surprise, I slowly started to recover, and now I’ve made a few tens of thousands U more, even my mom praises me saying 'this time I didn’t mess around'!
The first one I must mention is BTC—this thing is the 'hard currency' of the crypto circle. When it dropped to 20,000 U last year, my friends around me were panicking and cutting losses, but I didn’t move. It’s not that I’m stubborn; I know BTC has gone through so many bull and bear markets, and its risk resistance is stronger than the company I work for. It’s like 'gold' in the digital world; even if it drops, it still has a bottom. This year, when it rebounded to 38,000 U, I made over 8,000 U from this part alone, covering all my previous losses and leaving me with enough for several hot pot dinners!
Then there’s ETH, which I started watching because of its Layer2 upgrade. Think about it: as on-chain applications increase, it’s like supermarkets and coffee shops in a neighborhood becoming more complete, the foot traffic will definitely increase, and the value will naturally rise. Last year, I added to my position when it was at 1500U, and this year it rose to 1950U, which means I made a steady profit of 30%. I got 2200U in hand—immediately bought a new computer, no longer enduring the pain of the old one lagging like a PPT!
There’s also a platform coin from a top platform (those who understand, understand). This coin is particularly 'resilient'; during last year's poor market, it didn’t drop much and instead gradually increased. From 280U it rose to 360U; I held it for more than half a year and made 1600U, which I used to buy my parents new phones. Now my parents are showing off their phones to the neighbors, and I’m feeling at ease!
I have small positions in UNI and SOL: Although UNI doesn’t have dividends, on-chain trading is getting hotter, just like more and more people at a vegetable market, the stalls must be valuable. It rose from 4U to 6.2U, making a small profit of 1100U, enough for me to pay for two months of video membership; I only dared to invest a little in SOL, after all, it’s not as stable as the first three. But its ecosystem is developing so fast, like it’s on double speed, it rose from 80U to 110U, making 450U as pocket money, buying snacks without feeling guilty~
Now I can say I’ve figured it out: trading coins really doesn’t require 'staying up all night watching the market'; choosing the right core assets is the key. These assets won’t make you 'rich overnight', but they can withstand bull and bear markets, gradually helping you make money. It’s like buying a house in the city center; when buying coins, choose assets that have 'real value', avoiding those worthless coins that rely solely on hype. You'll earn even while lying down!
Finally, let me say something heartfelt: the crypto circle is not short of 'opportunities', but lacks 'people who can be patient'. I will share analysis of core assets and tips for avoiding pitfalls here every day. Next time, I'll chat with you about 'how to judge whether a coin is truly core'. If you find it useful, please follow me, or you’ll miss out on little tips for making money next time you get lost! If you have any questions, don’t be shy; just say it in the comments, I will read them!
