#数字资产市场动态 Coin earning, what matters is not talent—it's understanding the cycle

36 years old, from Fujian. Entered the crypto asset market at the beginning of 2017.

The initial motivation was simple: a monthly salary of 8000 to 12000, saving some extra money to buy a house in first- or second-tier cities. After calculations, relying on a fixed salary to make a down payment was always a dream. It wasn't until I got involved in the crypto world that I understood a principle—doubling wealth through salary is too slow; doubling through market cycles is more reliable.

During the 2020 cycle, I invested 150,000 yuan in savings, mainly allocating to Ethereum, supplemented by Bitcoin and some smaller coins. I increased my position during dips; during the 519 crash, when the entire market was panicking and cutting losses, I was buying at the bottom. This decision changed everything.

My trading principles are very rigid:
- Never use high leverage, no borrowing
- Only trade what I understand
- Don’t chase highs, avoid frequent trading

In 2021, Bitcoin broke its all-time high. I sensed a bear market signal and gradually sold off my main holdings at around 53,600. I also sold quite a bit of Ethereum at 3,980. Later, it proved that was the top of that cycle.

When the bull market finally ended, my account showed 6.27 million.

My approach was: 2 million went back home to buy a house, 3 million was placed in the bank to earn interest, and the remaining 1.27 million continued in the market.

Why can I make money? Simply put, four points: the principal is saved by myself, opportunities must have high certainty, control greed, and profit from large cycles.

The huge profits in the crypto market are always attractive, but those who truly make money are often the best at waiting, daring to hold heavy positions, and taking profits in time. When the rhythm is right, wealth comes naturally.
