In the crypto world, there are only three types of people who can make money:

The first type is to treat coins as assets. They simply buy some coins and leave them there without caring, even when a bull market comes, they can't be bothered to check. For them, buying coins is like accumulating an asset; whenever they have money, they invest it—like earning 120,000 a year, saving diligently to invest 30,000, and maintaining a particularly stable mindset, buying mainly large-cap coins like Bitcoin. They don't worry about various good and bad news in the crypto world and don't want to deal with it. They are clear in their minds: no matter how much they think about it, it doesn't necessarily mean they will earn more, so it's unnecessary. Just like that, after enduring two rounds of bull and bear markets, saving some money to invest each year, in the end, their assets could grow to tens of millions.
The second type relies purely on luck. They hear news everywhere in the market, mingle in circles, and chase various trends, sometimes losing, sometimes gaining. But when a bull market comes, they might just guess correctly on a coin and suddenly earn tens of thousands. I know people like this; some can timely pull out and convert their coins into tangible assets like houses and cars, preserving most of their money; while others end up losing their money back to the crypto world. When the market is good, it's like rain, occasionally giving them a sprinkle of "lucky fortune", which is nothing much; but when the market goes bad, their little money, both principal and interest, gets swallowed back - this is the luck-based player that eats off market cycles. I have also made money relying on luck, knowing my limits, and pulling out in time to convert the profits into reliable assets is the right way.
The third type truly has strength. For them, the crypto world is like an ATM: they can launch projects and issue coins to profit from retail investors, control the market, and make significant gains by following trends. They mainly operate in U-based (using stablecoins as the unit), satisfied as they see their U increase, not believing any asset can be held long-term, thinking that only an increase in U means real profit. These individuals can make money in both bull and bear markets, and when it comes to the projects they trade, they can withdraw immediately when it's time to run. This is where they are better than novices: they identify a potentially profitable project and won't just take small profits and leave; as long as the logic for the rise still exists, they will continue to hold. They don't focus on how high or low the price is, and don't think, 'this coin is too expensive, it should be sold' or 'it might drop since it's too high'; they simply don't have that mindset—what matters to them is the logic; if the logic disappears, they withdraw.
