Having been involved in crypto trading for many years, my deepest insight boils down to one word—mindset. Technology will improve, but your mindset determines how far you can go.

I only started exploring crypto trading at age 30. Between 2023 and 2026, my account funds surpassed the 8-figure mark. Now, my net worth exceeds 30 million yuan, and my daily routine is just watching the market and making a few contract trades. When I have free time, I go traveling. I don’t have to worry about money at all. Honestly, this kind of laid-back life is something I once only dreamed of.

Regarding trading, I’ve summarized a few rules. I can’t claim they are 100% accurate, but most of the time they are real and verifiable. First, Bitcoin is the stabilizer in the crypto world—most coins’ rises and falls follow its lead. Only some high-quality coins occasionally break away from the trend to move independently. Altcoins are basically under its control. Bitcoin and USDT usually move inversely; when USDT rises, be alert that Bitcoin might fall. Conversely, when Bitcoin rises, it’s often a good time to build a USDT position.

Timing is also crucial. Between midnight and 1 a.m., there’s often a spike in activity. Domestic traders can place low-price buy orders and high-price sell orders before sleep—sometimes earning easy profits. 6 to 8 a.m. is a turning point. If prices keep falling from late night to morning, it’s usually a good opportunity to add to your position, as a rebound often follows that day. Conversely, if prices keep rising, it might be time to consider exiting. Also, around 5 p.m. U.S. time, be especially cautious. This is when U.S. traders are at work, which can trigger volatility. Many significant swings have occurred during this period.

Regarding coin selection, don’t panic if a coin with high trading volume drops. As long as you hold patiently, you’ll recover your investment in as little as 3-4 days or within a month at most. If you have extra funds, buy in batches to lower your average cost and recover faster. If you have no money, just wait. The crypto world never abandons those with patience. Spot trading, compared to frequent contract operations, often yields better long-term returns by holding the same coin. The key is whether you can endure the wait. As for rumors about big drops on Fridays, I’ve experienced a few, but there are also big rises and sideways movements. The accuracy is average. It’s more reliable to pay attention to news and market fundamentals.

I just can't change my mindset; I panic every time I drop...

The mindset is indeed the key, but that number of over 30 million... isn't it just hype from contract leverage? Earning passively sounds great, but I don't know how you'll lie down during a drawdown. I've also tried the 0-1 point pinning strategy, which hurts like hell when you're cut in the middle of the night. BTC is the safe haven, no doubt, but USDT is the opposite... it depends on how the market moves; it doesn't seem to be foolproof. It's true that 5 PM in the US is prone to sudden drops; I've been severely affected. Patience and holding are the truth, but you need to withstand that kind of torment, brother. The rumors on Friday are as good as no news; news always comes first. Honestly, you still need some principal as a cushion; without money, all strategies are useless.

Huh, over 30 million... I just want to ask, are you still making easy profits in this market? --- Mindset is indeed key, but I feel like the more important factors are capital and luck haha --- I've noted the USDT reverse movement, I'll try it next time --- Is it really that frequent to inject funds between midnight 0-1 AM? Seems like you need to watch the trend --- Holding spot for the long term sounds great, but the real question is can you really hold on? I definitely can't --- The news is really reliable, technical charts can be deceiving, but news can't be fooled --- Is the over 30 million a real figure or just the contract position size... --- I think I've heard this logic from some signal provider before --- The theory of adding positions assumes the coin won't go to zero, right? --- Watching a few contract trades every day and still calling it lying flat? This job isn't that easy

Mindset is easy to talk about but really hard to practice. When you see your account cut in half, no one can hold on. Starting from age 30 and still turning over 30 million is really a big stroke of luck. BTC is the stabilizer, that's true, but more often it still depends on macro news. I've tried to feel out the timing patterns, and it’s just so-so.

Oh my, I need to try this timing operation method, especially the needle insertion between midnight 0-1... Regarding mindset, I've seen too many people collapse and cut losses after being trapped. Over 30 million, I never thought about it, but the part about earning passively really hit home. The logic of USDT and BTC moving inversely is clear, but it's easy to be tempted when executing... It's quite exciting to boast, but honestly, it still depends on each person's psychological resilience. I've used the method of averaging down to lower costs, but it's the hardest when you have no money. Wow, I really haven't paid much attention to the turning point between 6-8 AM, next time I'll watch the market closely. Holding spot long-term versus frequent contracts, just looking at the data, spot trading makes money, but it's hard to hold on... The news is indeed more reliable than the big drop on Friday; that stuff is almost like gambling.

The term "mindset" is indeed accurate, but I think luck also plays a significant role. I'm a bit curious how you managed to multiply your holdings so many times between 2023 and 2026. Did you bottom out on any particular coins? I've tried staking from midnight to 1 AM, but the success rate seems average, not as stable as it's described. Or are you mainly focusing on long-term holdings of major coins rather than frequent trading?

It's definitely about mindset, but I think luck also plays a big role... Damn, if this yield rate could really stay stable, I would go all in directly. I've tried the 0-1 point staking, and ended up being mobilized in the middle of the night. Sleep quality is super important, brother. Is over 30 million really true, or is it just a paper number... I've heard the USDT reverse logic many times, but when it comes to actual operation, it's still easy to cut losses. Basically, you need to have spare money to relax. For us living paycheck to paycheck, it's just something to listen to. The key is how to cultivate a good mindset. It’s not something you can have until you've made big money. I've noticed that 6-8 AM window a few times, but it doesn't work every time. This story is told quite smoothly, but how many people can really endure a bear market?
