$BTC # 1500U to 38,000U: The first lesson in making money in the crypto world is to learn to "wait"

When I first brought Amin into the industry, he was still a newbie in the crypto world, holding 1500U in capital, and every day he chased me asking, "What coin should I buy today?" "Is it a good time to enter now?" The barrage of messages was more punctual than my work clock-in.

One time he sent several messages in a row, filled with anxiety: "Bro, did you forget about me?" "BTC has risen, I didn't get in, did I lose a lot?" "Everyone is buying ETH, should I follow the trend?"

Looking at his messages, I saw myself when I first entered the market—always afraid of missing any opportunity, wanting to rush in regardless of whether the market was good or bad, and as a result, frequently trading and losing a lot. I only let him learn one thing: "wait." I told him: "Opportunities are everywhere in the crypto world, but the capital is limited. If you lose your capital chasing small opportunities, when a big market comes, you won’t even have the qualification to participate."

I taught him to divide the 1500U into three parts: 500U for short-term trading, only entering when BTC's daily fluctuation exceeds 3%—when the volatility is low, there’s no trend, and random trading will only incur transaction fees; 500U for medium-term trading, waiting for the weekly chart to show a bullish signal (like the 5-week moving average crossing above the 10-week moving average) before taking action, this way he can grasp a more stable trend; the remaining 500U as reserve funds, never to be touched easily.

In the first month, the market was particularly calm, with BTC's daily volatility less than 2%. Amin didn't wait for a short-term opportunity, and there were no signals for medium-term trading, only completing 2 small short-term trades, earning 150U. He got anxious: "Bro, this is too slow! Others have doubled their money in a month!" I advised him: "Opportunities are like market trends in the crypto world, if you miss one wave, there’s always the next. But if you rush to chase rises and falls and stumble, you won’t even have the qualification to enter the big market later. Slowing down now is to move more steadily in the future."

After about 20 days, BTC suddenly surged from 29,000 USD to 35,000 USD. Amin, following the plan, decisively entered when the weekly chart showed a bullish signal, and this medium-term trade earned him 25%, pushing his account directly to 8000U. Later, he seized a few more short-term opportunities, and after half a year, his account steadily rose to 38,000U.

In fact, in the crypto world, "waiting" is never a waste of time; it is building strength for real opportunities. Those who can calmly wait often seize the most stable profits and last the longest.
