I am 32 years old this year and started Cryptocurrency Trading at 24. From 2023 to 2025, my assets have reached 8 figures. To be honest, I have lived much more comfortably than the older generation who are in traditional industries or the 80s generation in e-commerce. Many newcomers always focus on "techniques", "indicators", and "mysterious K-lines", but the real foundational ability that has allowed me to survive is my mindset; techniques are actually secondary.

Over the years, I have summarized these 8 rules, which I still use now:

1. BTC is essentially the overall director of the entire market. ETH sometimes has enough quality to briefly separate from BTC's independent market, but 99% of altcoins can hardly escape BTC's influence.

2. BTC and USDT have an inverse relationship. If you see the price of USDT rising, be careful as BTC is likely to drop; conversely, if BTC is rising, it is actually a better time to go towards USDT.

3. From 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM, it is the easiest time for price spikes to occur. So before I go to bed at night, I usually set up my buy low and sell high orders in advance, basically lying down and waiting for the system to execute the trades. Sometimes, I really do just sleep while the trades are automatically executed.

4. The time period from 6 to 8 in the morning is the key time for me to determine the direction of the day. The logic is simple: if it has been declining from 0 to 6 o'clock and continues to decline during this period, then it is likely to rise that day, which is a typical entry/supplement opportunity; if it has been rising from 0 to 6 o'clock and continues to rise during this period, then it is likely to decline that day, which is an opportunity to exit.

5. Pay special attention at 5 PM, because of the time difference, that's when Americans are just waking up and starting to move the market. Sometimes the rapid rises and falls happen at this time.

6. The so-called "Black Friday" is not completely metaphysical; there have been several instances in history where the market suddenly plummeted on a Friday, but it is not always accurate and should be considered as an auxiliary signal rather than the main logic.

7. For coins with good liquidity and sufficient trading volume, as long as they haven't become junk coins, there's no need to panic when they drop. I've experienced this too many times: the shortest recovery is in 3-4 days, and the longest is at most a month. As long as there's still some USDT left, I can lower the cost in batches, and usually, they recover quickly; if there's no USDT left, just wait patiently.

8. In fact, the less you meddle with spot trading, the more you earn. For the same coin, frequently trading short-term is worse than just holding onto it. I bought Dogecoin at 0.09 and have held it all this time; it has increased over 20 times now. Most newcomers are not unable to choose, but rather they cannot hold on.

So what really distinguishes ordinary people from those who continuously make money is not whether there is a "winning model", but whether they can maintain their mindset, not act impulsively, execute, and wait. If you can survive, you will naturally make money; if you can't withstand drawdowns and act emotionally, even if you are given stronger techniques, you won't survive to the profit stage.

In the cryptocurrency world, it's not about who runs the fastest, but about who lasts the longest. I've proven this with money and time. #区块链 # Bitcoin
