If you really want to root yourself in the cryptocurrency world for the long term, treating it as a profession rather than a hobby, your mindset must be upgraded from day one. Below is the roadmap I summarized as a 'veteran full-cycle player', with minimal fluff and all substance:
1⃣
First, master the basics before talking about making money
Don’t rush to chase profits when you first enter the space. If you don’t understand the exchanges, chains, cross-chain bridges, Gas, and contract mechanisms, thinking about getting rich will only turn you into a number in someone else's account.
The basics are weapons; without weapons on the battlefield, you will only be harvested.
2⃣
Independent operation, independent judgment
The biggest problem in the cryptocurrency world is not the market, but the noise.
Listening to others is always second-hand knowledge; the one truly responsible for your account is only yourself.
Research, validate, come to your own conclusions—this is the dividing line between investors and gamblers.
3⃣
Circles are important, but what matters more is choosing the right one.
A quality circle will tell you the real situation, the essence of the project, and the risk points;
A trash circle will only give you screenshots, fantasies, and emotional brainwashing.
Choosing a circle is choosing the upper limit of your future understanding.
4⃣
Investing is always a personal action.
Others' opinions can only serve as reference, not decision-making for you.
Establish your own investment framework and logical system,
True experts are holders of an independent worldview.
5⃣
Strategy is not about seeing what others earn, but about seeing what suits you.
Contracts, short-term, waves, holding coins, NFT...
Every path has its own sweet honey and bitter poison.
Choose a dimension that suits you, delve deep, and only then will you see results.
6⃣
"A hundredfold coin" is not a fantasy but a structural opportunity.
But the premise is that you must have basic judgment:
Tracks, narratives, trends, teams, liquidity, structure.
Without this understanding, a hundredfold coin is just a hundredfold scam.
7⃣
Patience is the most valuable skill in the crypto world.
You will be deceived, you will stumble, you will lose money—
These are not failures, but the foundational experiences you will have in the future when evaluating charts, people, and projects.
The earlier you experience these, the faster your recognition speed will be.
8⃣
Respect the rules and acknowledge losses.
If you lose, you lose; don't blame the market, the platform, or others.
The market will never bend for you, but it will reward those who can adapt.
9⃣
Theory + practical application advance in sync.
Just watching without doing = learning in vain;
Blindly acting without learning = gambling blindly.
Theory provides the framework, practical application provides understanding, both are indispensable.
🔟
Be a strong person with dedication, not a follower.
Don't compare your gains, screenshots, or positions with others.
You have only one goal:
Make today's self have deeper awareness, execution ability, and systematic capability than yesterday.
If you truly want to become a big player, don't rely on luck, on tips, or on following trends,
but rely on continuous learning, continuous validation, and continuous evolution.
Stick to this path, and you will eventually stand in a position that others look up to.
