#数字货币市场洞察 After spending these years in the crypto market, the question I get asked most often is: How do you turn ten thousand into a million?



To be honest, I didn’t know the answer before either. When I first started, I had just over ten thousand in my account and was tossed around by the market every day. Back then, I thought trading meant constantly watching the screen, trying to catch every movement. But what happened? I missed out on the profits I should’ve made and took all the losses I shouldn’t have.

What really made me understand was a trade I did six years ago. I caught a big positive news event on a short-term trade and didn’t sell that night, thinking it would definitely go higher the next day. The next morning, it did open high, but I didn’t hesitate—I sold everything immediately. Why? Because at that moment, I suddenly understood this principle: when good news is realized, it’s often the peak. You think the top is still far off? Actually, it’s right in those few seconds when you’re hesitating whether to sell.

After that, my trading habits completely changed. I avoid making moves around major holidays, exit early and observe when big events are coming, stay out of the market if I don’t understand the trend, and only enter when there’s a high degree of certainty. Some friends say I’m too conservative, but I know in my heart that it’s this “conservatism” that lets me survive to catch the next real big opportunity.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about mindset. The most surreal thing about the crypto market is: when you’re making money, you feel invincible; when you’re losing, it feels like the end of the world. I’ve seen too many people with small funds get cocky after three days of profits and panic after two days of losses. But those who really make consistent profits? Ups and downs are just numbers to them—if your mindset is steady, your account will be steady too.

So you ask me if there’s a way to turn ten thousand into a million? There is, but it’s not some magic technical indicator or trading formula. It all comes down to three things: dare to stay out of the market, know how to wait, and be able to execute. Don’t let your emotions be swayed by the market; there isn’t an opportunity every day, and the moments that can change your life only come a few times. Most people don’t lose because of skills, but because they don’t know how to survive and wait for the next big cycle.

Making money is about avoiding risks, making big money is about patience, and turning things around is about waiting. This is the experience I’ve gained over six years, and I’ve basically made every mistake there is. The market never waits for anyone, but opportunities are always there for those who are prepared.

What you said is absolutely right. The problem is that most people can't endure that waiting period; once their mindset collapses, it's all over.

That's right, the key is mindset and patience. Most people really fail because of greed.

It took six years for others to realize this truth, but I gained experience from losses in just three years, haha.

Well said, but execution is just too difficult. Most people simply can't resist.

That's right, it's just that too many people are too greedy. I only understood this after being tossed around by emotions myself—holding no positions really tests your human nature.

You're absolutely right. The hardest part is being in cash and waiting. Watching others make big gains while you're just getting scraps is really tough to endure.

Being in cash is truly the best technical strategy, that's so true. My biggest losses happened because I forced trades when I didn't understand the market, but once I learned to stay in cash, I actually started making money.

A conversation with you is more valuable than reading ten years' worth of books... But that being said, you still have to experience pitfalls yourself to truly understand—talking theory on paper is useless.

Sounds nice, but the key is to survive the bear market... I couldn't hold on last year, and I'm still broke now.
