#大户持仓动态 $ALCH After twelve years of ups and downs in the crypto world, I’ve thought about it—can I really go back to being a "normal person"?

I entered the scene at 23, now I’m 36. That’s quite a journey.

$BTC has gone from a few thousand to over seventy thousand. I’ve seen many people get rich overnight and lose everything just as fast. Between 2018 and 2020, my account first broke a million, and after that, everything changed—staying in hotels that cost 2,000 yuan a night without blinking, sticking crypto tags on my luggage, and wherever I go, fellow crypto enthusiasts recognize me at a glance.

Compared to friends who run factories or do e-commerce, my life is incredibly relaxed—no supply chain troubles, no contract disputes, and no one owes me money.

So here’s the question: how do I make money? I’ve thought about it for a long time—there are really only two words.

**Mindset.**

Here are a few lessons I’ve summarized over the twelve years:

First, $BTC will always be the boss. It’s the leader, the big brother. Altcoins follow the trend and eat the meat. If Bitcoin drops, all the smaller coins will fall too. Not sure about the market? Just watch what $BTC does.

Second, $BTC and $USDT are like a seesaw—when one rises, the other needs to be cautious. If stablecoins are rising, it’s a sign to be careful; if $BTC surges sharply, it’s time to hold some stablecoins and take profits.

Third, timing is crucial. Between midnight and 1 a.m., it’s easy to get "slapped," but placing orders before bed can sometimes net you a freebie; from 6 to 8 a.m., you need to read the market—if it dips overnight, buy the dip during the day; if it rises overnight, consider selling during the day; at 5 p.m. U.S. time, funds flood in, often causing big swings.

Fourth, don’t be fooled by phrases like "Black Friday." Market rises and falls depend on capital flow, not the date.

Fifth, don’t panic when prices drop. As long as the coin isn’t an air project and there’s trading volume, it can rebound within days to a month. If you have spare funds, buy the dip in batches; if not, hold tight.

My most satisfying trade: bought Dogecoin at $0.085 and held it all the way until now, gaining over 20 times. That’s not luck; it’s pure patience.

Honestly—when it comes to trading crypto, it’s not about how skilled your techniques are or whether you have insider info. It’s about **mindset, position management, and time cost**.

I’ve considered whether to "retire and return to normal life," but what crypto has taught me over the years isn’t just how to make money. More importantly, it’s how to control greed, manage risk, and see through human nature. I used to stumble around in darkness, but now I hold the light—and it’s always on. Are you coming or not?
