Having been involved in the crypto space for many years, I want to share some real trading insights with everyone. This isn't motivational fluff; it's stuff I've summarized from the pitfalls I've encountered over the years.
First and foremost—don't always think about getting rich overnight. As long as you can stick to your trading system and discipline, any trading style is fine. If you can do this, you've already outperformed most of the market.
There are countless reasons for losing money. Chasing rallies and selling off in a bear market, using high leverage recklessly, trading options haphazardly—ultimately, it's a fight for survival. I must say—if you make money, withdraw immediately. Truly, no one knows when the next 519 will come.
What should you do specifically? Reduce high leverage and cut down on trading frequency. Take profits and run with part of your gains, and definitely don't reinvest them all. Cherish each major market cycle. Honestly, most people's wealth isn't earned solely through their own ability; they just happen to get rich passively during this Kondratiev cycle.
Regarding bottom-positioning, the key is controlling your position size. No matter how deep the dip, never let a single position become too large. Always leave room for error. Buy more on big dips, buy less on small dips—sounds simple, but few actually do it.
In a bull market, the hottest sector is always the newest asset. Catching the right one makes profits easy—even if you invest little and sell early, as long as the direction is correct, you'll still make money. Conversely, develop the habit of chasing leading projects. Many people miss out on top projects like $BTC or $ETH and turn to buy second- or third-tier projects, which increases risk silently. True leading projects have high ceilings; missing them means you're only halfway up the mountain.
Finally—spend more effort on strategic positioning in spot and futures markets. In the long run, this is the most reliable approach. I hope everyone can gain something from this cycle.

That's a very honest point; it's just that many people lack execution. I myself have failed in this area due to frequent trading—being impulsive.
The saying "cash out when you make a profit" hits hard; I've fallen for the trap of being reluctant to withdraw many times.
The metaphor of the leading position halfway up the mountain is quite good; it's like building psychological resilience for oneself.

It sounds right, but the hardest part is execution. The common trait among those who make money around me is that they are willing to take profits.
Sell when you make a profit, never regret selling early. As long as you do this basic thing, you'll be stable.
Many people die because of greed, insisting on waiting for the top.
I have deep experience with the leading stocks. Years ago, I lost everything chasing after the second and third leaders. Only later did I realize that assets like BTC and ETH can really be held long-term, and there's no need to seek short-term explosive gains.
Now, it's about staying low-key and waiting for opportunities.

That hits too close to home. How many people are still playing with leverage, dreaming of a big turnaround?
Make money and run—that's a tattoo I need to get.
Regarding the leading project on the hillside, this needs to be carefully considered.
Chasing gains and selling on dips every day—serves you right for being educated by the market.
That wave on 519 directly bankrupted me. Now withdrawal speeds are super fast.
Really, sticking to discipline is winning; most people just lack this.
Whoever bought the dip in this cycle and left room for error will be the last to laugh.

ngl the math on "chasing new assets as biggest windfall" doesn't actually check out... most new tokens literally die in first month, unsustainable tokenomics everywhere

Buying the dip, but ended up with all altcoins in hand, what should I do?

It sounds like they're advising us not to chase the highs, but how many can actually do that... The most common advice is to take profits and run. I think most people are still greedy.
