#数字资产动态追踪 A friend of mine works in a factory, doing two shifts. His monthly salary is 6,000, and overtime is the norm. His life revolves between the dormitory, production line, and cafeteria, feeling like he's been hit with a pause button.



Later, he entered the crypto world and surprisingly earned the equivalent of his annual salary in the first year.

But when he first started, he was no different from most people—buying the hype when prices rose, holding stubbornly when prices fell, making a little profit then running away, ignoring losses and continuing to blindly trade. His mindset back then was more volatile than the K-line.

I didn't recommend any magical indicators or master strategies to him, just one sentence: "Don't follow the crowd, set your stop-loss first, and trade at your own pace."

Then I set a framework for him that sounded silly but lasted the longest: opening at most 1-2 trades per day, not betting on the direction of the rise or fall, not risking heavy sums, and not showing off. As soon as he lost money, he would stop; no adding to positions to fight back, and no letting emotions ruin his trades.

At first, he complained that it was too slow. I asked him, "Are you looking for a stable side income, or quick riches followed by big losses?"

He was silent at that moment because he realized he had been hijacked by the idea of "quick profits."

Three months later, he suddenly told me, "This year, I decided to use crypto to make back my salary."

Just from hearing that, I knew he could do it.

Why are we confident?

Because those who can profit steadily from the crypto market are never the most technically advanced. Their strength lies in—staying calm, being patient, and strictly following their plan.

Honestly, using crypto as a side hustle is not difficult at all. The real challenge is whether you can stay disciplined: not driven by greed, not manipulated by panic, and not led astray by social noise.

Want to change your income structure with crypto assets? It’s not a dream, but the premise is—

Reliance on patience, not pure luck collision

Reliance on disciplined execution, not impulsive heavy positions

Reliance on planned actions, not fantasies of getting rich overnight

To truly turn things around, learn to slow down first, but ensure every step is steady.

Once this rhythm is internalized, you'll suddenly realize: the returns from a side hustle in the crypto market are not as crazy as you imagined.

The key is to stick to an actionable methodology—understandable, executable, and sustainable. In the end, you will naturally win.

Sharpening the axe won't delay the chopping of firewood. This saying is spot on, but most people can't wait for those three months. No matter how correct it is, it's useless without execution. Your friend has indeed understood this. Don't gamble on the direction, control the singles, set proper stop-losses... It sounds boring to death, but this is the game played by those who live the longest. This gradual, step-by-step pace is indeed much more reliable than those reckless gamblers I've seen. The most heartbreaking truth in the crypto world: the ones making money are never the most aggressive wave.

Take it slow, no rush, really. The mindset is the most important part. --- That's right, talking about stop-loss is easy, but actually doing it is extremely difficult. Most people fall here. --- I've heard similar stories before, but very few can truly stick with it. Most people's enthusiasm fades after two weeks. --- Doubling a 6,000 salary sounds great, but what about the risk? Stories like this easily mislead newcomers into going all in. --- 1-2 trades per day sounds conservative, but honestly, it's way better than those who open ten trades a day and burn out quickly. --- The key is execution. There are many with ideas, but very few can follow the plan through to the end. --- Being mentally hijacked by quick profits really hits home. I was exactly like that when I first started. --- "Understand it, be able to do it, and stick to it"—these three phrases are more valuable than any master indicator.

Really, this sense of rhythm is the core. I've seen too many people rush in hoping to turn things around overnight, only to get completely cut out... Taking it slow is easier said than done when rushing is involved. The words "stop loss" are more valuable than any technical indicator.

honestly? the "1-2 trades daily" framework is just basic risk management dressed up fancy. if you look at the data, most people still blow up because they can't actually stick to it when volatility spikes. the discipline part is real tho, not gonna lie.
