The secret to wealth in the crypto world ultimately boils down to this logic: cycle rotation, doing the right things at the right prices.

Many people think they can't make money, but the real issue isn't the market, it's the strategy. I know a few post-2000s individuals who, during the last bull run, accumulated assets worth tens of millions. Did they do anything special? No. They just started accumulating at the bottom, held firm during the bear market, and gradually sold off during the bull market. It sounds simple, but nine out of ten people fail in execution due to their mindset.

Let's look at specific data—on March 12, 2020, Bitcoin dropped to $3,800, and Ethereum fell below $88. Many people panicked and sold at a loss. But then what happened? BTC rose to $69,000, ETH surged to $4,800, and some altcoins skyrocketed by 60 times. Same market, same coins, but the results were worlds apart.

For ordinary people making money in crypto, there are two core dimensions: entry timing and cost control.

Don't expect to perfectly catch the bottom or sell at the top—that's nearly impossible. When Bitcoin and Ethereum drop more than 70%, that's the reasonable dollar-cost averaging zone. After that, it's about endurance—gradually accumulating during the bear market and systematically cashing out during the bull market. Impatience and greed are the biggest enemies.

No informational advantage, no large capital? Then rely on time and mindset. Hold your positions, keep your rhythm steady, and those who can endure will be the ones laughing last. The same applies to coins like ZEC—there are no exceptions when it comes to cycles.
