In this market, surviving longer is more difficult than getting rich overnight.

Recently, I often get asked a question: "If I invest 50,000 yuan, can I make 500,000 yuan in a year?" Every time I hear this, I have to have a good talk. Yes, you can make money, but the premise is to change that "gambler's mindset." Those who shout every day about "going all-in on a coin for a hundredfold increase" are either pulling a scam or have been scammed themselves.

Having been in this industry for many years, I’ve summarized a few logical insights that only come from experience and losses, and I want to share them with everyone.

**Getting the rhythm right is more valuable than anything else**

I’ve seen too many people die on the "chase the high" path—seeing a certain coin surge fiercely and rushing in, only to catch the last wave and get cut when it rebounds. Perfect reverse operation, repeated over and over.

The real secret to making money in this industry isn’t speed, but timing. My approach is: when the market just starts to rise, deploy funds gradually into mainstream coins; during the mid-stage of the rally, use small capital for swing trading, taking profits when the time is right; in the later stages, take profits and convert gains into stable assets.

As long as you can catch 2-3 major market waves throughout the year, the results will be much better than chasing hot topics every day. Remember the 2021 bull market? Many people rushed in at the high point due to FOMO (fear of missing out), only to get trapped badly.

A buddy of mine had 100,000 yuan capital, and last year, by timing the market well, he earned 30% during a major rally, and another 40% in a hot sector, ending the year with a substantial profit. That’s why I say, surviving and quietly making money is much more realistic than dreaming of getting rich overnight.
