Want to make money in the crypto world? First, find a model that suits you.

Many newcomers rush in and end up either doubting life due to losses or being repeatedly educated by the market.

In fact, if you want trading cryptocurrencies to become a second income, or even to truly support your family, you only need one thing—find the most suitable money-making model for you and do it to the extreme.

Here are the four major mainstream money-making paths I have summarized over the past few years. Each can earn money, but the risks are completely different. See which one suits you👇

1. Trading type: Suitable for quick-handed and market-watching people.

1. Spot trend trading

Buy low and sell high, trade with the trend, focus on:

Market direction

Technical indicators (MACD/RSI/Volume)

Hot sector rotation

Suitable for those with a stable mindset and patience.

2. Arbitrage trading (low risk)

Buy low and sell high when prices differ between exchanges.

Characteristics: Low risk, stable profit, but requires quick actions and strong execution.

2. Mining type: Suitable for stable players.

1. Physical mining machines

Advantages: Stable returns

Disadvantages: High entry barrier, high electricity cost, rapid machine depreciation

Not suitable for beginners.

2. Cloud mining

You buy computing power, and the platform helps you mine.

Low entry barrier, but the key is: you must choose a reliable platform.

3. Investment type: Suitable for those who do not like frequent operations.

1. Long-term holding (most suitable for ordinary people)

Buy mainstream coins at low prices during major dips

Wait for the trend to rise before harvesting.

Most people who make big money rely on this.

2. Primary market (high risk, high return)

Participate in private placements/seed rounds of early projects.

Requirements:

Understand the team

Understand the track

Understand the token model

High cognitive requirements; not recommended for novices to touch randomly.

4. Other side jobs: Suitable for those with more time.

1. Airdrop hunter (can take off at zero cost)

Complete tasks, interact, and wait for projects to distribute rewards.

Many people started out relying on airdrops.

2. DeFi mining

Deposit coins into agreements to earn returns.

Profits can be considerable, but you must understand contract risks.

3. GameFi gold farming

Complete tasks and trade equipment to earn tokens.

Suitable for retail investors who love playing games.

Not blindly following trends, finding your own path,

you can truly transform from a "gambler" into a "player."

If you want to take fewer detours, pay more attention to how seasoned players who understand the market operate,

leading you to navigate the crypto world more steadily, quickly, and for the long haul.
