Lessons learned from a million-dollar mistake: chatting in the crypto world isn't just idle talk; it's an information war.
At every gathering, when people in the circle talk about trading coins, no one is just talking about dreams. Everyone is seeking survival: how to avoid pitfalls, how to find opportunities, how to protect that little principal.
I've stayed up late watching the market until I got dark circles under my eyes, sharing trading records until my phone overheated. Finally, I've figured out the five topics everyone loves to chat about. Today, no fluff, let's get straight to the point—these are what I've tested with real money.
Topic 1: Practical Tips—'Money-Making Methods' that Beginners Can Immediately Use
Getting excited seeing a coin rise for ten days? Hold on! I have a simple and crude screening method: first look at the ten-day gain list, then kick out those that have fallen for three consecutive days - these weak coins probably lack major support.
But the key step is here: check the 24-hour turnover rate. If it's below 5%, just pass; illiquid coins can't be played by the big players.
Finding the right entry point is a technical skill. Last time I ambushed SOL at the 60-day moving average, specifically looking for two signals: trading volume surged over 70% compared to the previous day + K-line closed bullish. Sure enough, I bought at the beginning of the rise and enjoyed a 20% gain. The setup method is very simple: adjust the trading software to daily charts, set the MA parameter to 60, and watch for bullish candles with volume.
Topic Two: Market Trends - Don't Be Misled by Surface Information
Recently, everyone is asking 'Can BTC break 110,000?' Looking at the price is useless; you need to look at on-chain data. I check the 'Exchange BTC Balance' on Glassnode every day. A continuous decline in balance indicates low selling pressure, increasing the probability of breaking the previous high.
And about ETH staking unlocks, don't panic. Look at the proportion of the unlocked amount to the circulating supply - if it’s below 2%, there’s basically nothing to fear. Last time it was only 0.8% unlocked, and the price actually rose by 8% after the unlock because the actual selling pressure was much lower than expected.
Topic Three: Lessons Learned - Don't Step on the Landmines I've Encountered
Don't rush to buy the dip during a flash crash! There’s a painful rule: if the trading volume during a sharp drop is more than three times the usual, it's definitely the big players dumping. For such coins, wait at least three days without making new lows before considering, otherwise, you’ll get hurt.
And those shouting '100x coins,' nine out of ten are for pumping and dumping. Now when I see terms like 'pump and dump' or 'exit scam,' I become cautious; coins with a concentration of over 80% are basically traps.
Topic Four: Winning Strategies - Small Funds Can Also Grow Big Snowballs
How to allocate a capital of 50,000 USDT? My strategy is: 60% in BTC and ETH (half each), 30% picking recent strong quality altcoins (single coin not exceeding 10%), and leaving 10% for averaging down. Don’t dismiss it as slow; it’s steady.
Want to earn 10% a month? You really don't need to be greedy. Aim for 15%-20% profit on each coin and just walk away; catching two or three opportunities a month is enough. Last year, I relied on this rhythm to roll my 50,000 USDT into 68,000 USDT. Remember: compound interest is more reliable than getting rich quick.
Topic Five: Community Slang - Understanding the Lingo Keeps You from Getting Cut
"WAGMI" (We All Gonna Make It) sounds heartwarming? Those shouting this during a crash might be looking for bag holders. "DYOR" (Do Your Own Research) is even more hypocritical - when a big influencer says this, it usually means "I know it’s a trap but don’t want to take responsibility."
True Alpha signals are never widely circulated. Those small circles that prohibit screenshots and charge an annual fee starting at 1 ETH, their chat records are all code abbreviations; these might actually have some real value.
The market always has opportunities, but if you run out of capital, it really is gone. I always ask myself before making any trading decision: Is the risk-reward ratio worth it? Can I withstand the maximum drawdown? Learning self-control is essential to survive and see the next bull market.
What topic do you talk about most? Entry and exit points? Position management? Next time, I’ll specifically analyze your pain points!
