Whenever someone asks me how to make money in the crypto world, I always turn the question around: If luck hits you, can you really catch it?



Seeing others double their gains in a wave of market movement, many people immediately say, "Lucky." But they fail to see clearly that behind those who seize opportunities are two invisible pillars: reliable trading logic and solid position management.

Let's first talk about trading strategies. Without a clear operational framework, even if the market actively knocks on your door, you won't be able to catch it. Two common pitfalls are: first, not setting take-profit points, so when a correction occurs, you give back all your profits; second, not setting stop-losses, so when the market moves against you, you're caught in a deadlock. Those who can steadily seize opportunities have long thought out a complete plan—what price to enter, how much to allocate, and how to cut losses if they are wrong.

Here's a point that can be easily confused: strategies are never meant to predict the market accurately. Their true purpose is to seize opportunities. When an opportunity arises, don't overthink—just follow your plan; if no opportunity appears, patiently wait on the side, avoiding emotional decision-making.

Now, let's look at capital management. The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is the ability to survive until the big move arrives. Frequently opening positions, gambling with full leverage, or going all-in impulsively—most people can't withstand the initial shocks before the real trend kicks in.

Good capital management has one core goal: to allow yourself to wait calmly for opportunities. Use a small portion of funds to test the waters, reserve the main position for promising trends, and keep enough emergency funds to handle volatility. It’s like tending an orchard: truly profitable farmers don’t rush to pick unripe fruit; they wait until the fruit is fully ripe, and then it naturally falls.

Ultimately, the so-called "luck" in the crypto world is never free. You need to build your trading framework step by step, protect your positions, and control your mindset. When the real opportunity appears, you'll have the ability to seize it and profit.

What I’ve been emphasizing all these years is this: how to survive well in this market, and then gradually accumulate profits through proper methods. I once drifted aimlessly in the waves of the crypto scene, now I hold a steady ship. The ship has been here waiting—if you're interested, come aboard.

That's right, I just failed because I didn't have a plan. When I saw others doubling their investments, I got jealous and impulsively went all-in. As a result, the market turned against me and hit me hard, causing half of my principal to evaporate. Now I understand that luck is simply the opportunity that comes to those who are prepared.

That's true, but most people simply can't do it. The toughest part is the mindset...

Well said. Seizing opportunities is not about luck; it requires a strategy. --- Not setting take-profit and stop-loss orders means you're just waiting to be weeded out. --- The biggest fear is missing out on a major market move while your capital is already lost. --- Small funds test the waters; main positions are kept for certainty. That’s the way to survive. --- I just want to ask those who go all-in and gamble—do they really think they can handle it? --- Waiting calmly for opportunities is easy to say but hard to do. That’s the true test of human nature. --- Ten years in the crypto world, surviving is more important than making money. That’s the principle to accept. --- Luck? That’s only for those who have a plan and deserve the reward.

Exactly right, so many people rush in without clearly thinking about their take-profit and stop-loss, then blame the market for being unfair... True luck is when you have a framework, luck will come knocking; without a framework, even if a pie falls from the sky, you won't be able to catch it.
