Eight years in the cryptocurrency world, I have come to understand a few truths.

At 30, I plunged into the cryptocurrency world, and now I am 36.

After six years of ups and downs, I have experienced the euphoric thrill of account numbers skyrocketing, as well as the bone-chilling despair of assets disappearing overnight. I have transformed from an impulsive risk-taker to someone who is steady and composed. The harsh lessons the market has taught me are far more profound and severe than the theories in textbooks.

People often ask me: What is the key to success in trading cryptocurrencies?

My answer has always been the same: Stay calm.

In 2019, my account balance first broke seven figures. At that time, I considered myself exceptionally talented and invincible, but a sudden crash caught me off guard and brought me back to square one.

It was at that moment that I completely awakened — the cryptocurrency world never rewards blind confidence; it harshly educates arrogance and hubris.

Now, to outsiders, I may seem successful, entering and exiting high-end hotels, discussing the market with peers, but only I know that my heart is steadier than anyone else's. Because I have seen too many people fail due to greed.

BTC is the lifeblood of the entire cryptocurrency world; when it rises, everyone rejoices, and when it falls, no one can remain unscathed.

ETH can occasionally withstand pressure, but a multitude of altcoins are ultimately just followers. If you don't keep a close eye on BTC's movements, all other operations are in vain.

BTC and USDT are still the barometers of market sentiment. An increase in USDT indicates capital flight, while a sudden surge in BTC should raise alarms. The hottest market conditions are often also the times when risks lurk.

Additionally, keep a close watch on timing; early morning is a peak time for price spikes, mornings are suitable for observing trends, and in the afternoon, after the US market opens, volatility will increase significantly. If you can't grasp the market rhythm, you'll only be led by the nose by the market.

When facing a downturn, don't panic; choose quality coins, control your positions, and average down in batches. A bear market is never a dead end but a stage for selecting the strong.

My proudest trade was buying DOGE at 0.1U, which has increased more than twenty times since then. This operation relied on nothing but a steady heart, not any advanced techniques.

The cryptocurrency world can make people wealthy overnight but can also help them see themselves clearly.

Market conditions can change dramatically, but the heart must not be the slightest bit flustered.

Those who can successfully navigate bull and bear markets are never the exceptionally smart ones, but those who can remain calm and composed. #加密市场观察 #隐私币生态普涨
