#美联储重启降息步伐 $ZEC $FHE $ETH What's the real secret to making money in crypto? Honestly, it's not as mysterious as people make it out to be.



I've seen plenty of experienced traders—they're not glued to the screen watching the market all day, nor are they going all-in every time. Instead, they use a plan to wait for opportunities. It might sound like common sense, but that's what sets them apart.

**Have a Clear Strategy**

When the market surges, people without a plan either cash out too early or get completely rattled by pullbacks. Truly making money isn't just about "choosing the right direction"—it's about how disciplined you are. Take profits when you should, cut losses when you need to—it sounds easy, but doing it is the real skill. The pros already know their entry points, position sizes, and stop-loss levels. They're not rushing in or out; they're moving with a rhythm. When luck comes, they're ready to catch it; when it doesn't, they can ride it out.

**Capital Allocation Is the Key to Survival**

The harshest part of crypto isn't the crashes—it's watching opportunities pass you by because you have no capital left. Some people increase their positions after a win, only to lose everything when the market turns. The smart way is to split your funds into three parts: one to keep you in the game, one to experiment and get a feel for the market, and one to save for the big moves. You don't need to go all-in every time to double your money. As long as you avoid getting wiped out in one go, you're already ahead.

I have a friend who rode a bull market last year with a small position, turned his account tenfold, and held on all the way to year-end. People say he was incredibly lucky, but I know the truth—he just had more patience and less impulsiveness than everyone else.

The market will always have its moments, and opportunities will always come. Your job isn't to pray for them, but to prepare yourself. So when that stroke of "luck from the sky" finally drops, you'll be ready to catch it—instead of missing out yet again.

What you said is absolutely right, but the key is you need to have some spare money on hand. You can't win by going all-in at once; I should tattoo this on my forehead. It sounds simple, but how many people can really cut their losses? Capital management is indeed the easiest thing to overlook, and as a result, a single crash can wipe everything out. A friend multiplying assets by ten times was due to perfect timing and luck; for us ordinary folks, we shouldn't even think about it.

To put it simply, it's about not being greedy, and that's the hardest part. My friend went all-in and got stuck twice, and now he finally understands.

Sounds right, but honestly, hardly anyone actually follows through. Most people ape in when it’s bullish and dump when it dips. Making money is mindset plus discipline—no secret. With this round of Fed rate cuts, it’ll come down to who can resist buying the dip. Easy to say; the key is whether you can keep your head when you’re losing. I’ve seen too many swear they’ll scale in with 3 tranches, then one piece of good news and they shove it all in. Run yourself like a business, not like a gambler—that’s a huge difference. Keeping positions small really works, but very few have that kind of self-control. Most people don’t wise up until they get blown up once. Bottom line: don’t be greedy, don’t rush, stay in the game, and the market will give you opportunities.

Simply put, don't be greedy. Even after hearing this a hundred times, some people still don't believe it.

Sounds good, but it’s really hard to execute. Everyone around me who got liquidated thought they had the direction right.

The key is still to have discipline; otherwise, even the best market conditions are useless.

That's right, you need to have discipline and not let the market lead you by the nose.

You're absolutely right, but these newbies just won't listen—they won't be satisfied until they go all-in. To put it simply, capital allocation is all about survival; only by staying in the game do you have a chance to turn things around.
