Why do you lose money in a bull market?



To be honest: the crypto world is no longer the era where you can make money by closing your eyes.

In the past, as long as you opened an exchange account and bought BTC, anyone could get rich during a bull market.
But now, if you stick to old ways, not only will you not make money, but you might also be countered by the market.

Let me explain the underlying logic clearly:

1️⃣ How is money flowing now? It’s completely different from before

Most funds now follow institutions.
Wall Street has already filled their positions through ETFs, playing the long-term game and trends.

Are you still thinking about buying today and selling tomorrow?
The current market is not designed for retail investors to do “daily wage trading.”

2️⃣ Opportunities still exist, but they are concentrated in “truly useful” tracks

The most money-making sectors now are those with tangible outputs:

DePIN (Contribution Mining):
Buying equipment, sharing bandwidth/storage/computing power, can steadily generate tokens.

AI + Blockchain:
Projects that provide computing power and data for AI, pure trending sectors.

RWA:
Bringing real assets like real estate and bonds on-chain, with stable returns and clear risks.

3️⃣ Old strategies can still work, but the entry barriers are much higher than before

Getting involved in new projects, DeFi market making, early participation...
Still profitable, but it’s not about “luck,” it’s about professionalism.

Hold onto BTC/ETH, then stake for interest,
Now more stable than many bank wealth management products.

Why can’t you make money? The reason is simple:

Because you might still be playing with penny stocks, chasing scams,
While the market has already upgraded to version 3.0, you’re still stuck at 0.5.

Because you sell when prices drop, chase when prices rise, always a step behind.

Because you throw your living expenses into it, and get emotional when it drops 10%, making it impossible to hold.

One sentence:
The crypto world always rewards professionals with amateur money.
Now, this rule is just clearer.

If you want to keep playing, you must do:

Invest with spare money, don’t gamble everything
Spend time researching, not just watching K-line charts
Be prepared to hold for 2-3 years, not dreaming of getting rich overnight

The ones who get eliminated in crypto are never the poor.
It’s the lazy, gamblers, and those who never learn.

Many tokens go to zero and are delisted after just a few years; in 2017, many tokens were delisted.
