Someone asked me how I've survived in Cryptocurrency Trading over the years?

To be honest, it's quite satisfying. I entered the circle at 20, and this year I'm exactly 30. It took me ten years to get my account to eight figures. Now I can casually book hotels for 2000 a night while on business trips, and my suitcase is covered with cryptocurrency logos, everywhere I go exudes the vibe of being a "circle insider."

Compared to my elders who work in factories or run e-commerce, this job is much easier – no need to watch the goods, no need to deal with disputes, and no fear of clients running away. There are very few worries.

Of course, some people think I'm just messing around. But in my opinion, this industry is not about how advanced the technology is; the core is just two words: **mindset**.

# A Few Survival Hacks

**First, let's talk about the market rhythm.**
BTC is the barometer of this circle; when it rises, altcoins have a chance, but when it falls, all small coins must go down with it. Occasionally, Ethereum can walk its own path, but don't expect other coins to withstand a market crash.

BTC and USDT are like a seesaw: when USDT rises, BTC is likely to take a hit; when BTC surges, it's better to exchange some for USDT to secure profits.

**Let's talk about the timing.**
From 0 to 1 AM, it's easiest to "pin" the market. Placing orders before going to bed often allows you to gain a wave for free;
Check the overall market direction from 6 to 8 AM: If it drops in the first half of the night and continues to drop in the morning? Close your eyes and buy more, there's a high probability of recovering that day. If it rises in the first half of the night and continues to rise in the morning? Hurry and run, it's likely to pull back.
Don't lose focus at 5 PM; US funds have just entered the market, and it's the easiest time for big fluctuations.
As for "Black Friday"? Don't be superstitious, both rises and falls are possible, it all depends on the news.

**The last dead rule:**
As long as it is not a worthless coin and has real trading volume, don't panic when it drops. Hold for three to five days or a month, and most likely it will rise back. If you have spare money, buy in batches; if you don't have money, just hold on.

I personally invested 0.085U in Dogecoin, and it has increased more than 20 times since then. What it relies on is one word—**persevere**.

It's not about who is smart in the end, but who can keep their composure. Don't rush in blindly alone; it's safer to follow the main group.
