These days, private messages are blowing up again, with several people asking the same question:

"How exactly do you make real money in the crypto market?"

Honestly, I've heard this question so many times that my ears are starting to get calloused. But every time I see it, a face of a brother always pops into my mind.

Let me tell you about his situation—
Last spring, he came to me with a account balance of $12,000, filled with theories about candlestick patterns, indicator combinations, market sentiment, sector rotation...

He had all the theories, but his account remained stagnant.

He's not stupid, and he has a good sense of direction.

So where's the real problem?

→ Gets nervous after a 5% rise, sells at the first dip
→ Runs away early when the main upward wave starts
→ Doesn't dare chase rebounds, avoids buying at high levels, gets shaken out multiple times, and loses confidence

I asked him: "Are you trying to gamble your life, or do you want to make money?"

He hesitated for a long time: "I want to play it safe and make a big move steadily."

I told him: "Then you need to remember—rhythm is much more valuable than direction."

In this market, many people can identify the right trend, but very few can hit the right rhythm.

What is true rhythm?
It's not gambling; it's rolling.

→ Enter the market after confirming the trend
→ Keep position sizes small, always leave yourself an escape route
→ Add to winning positions, cut losses when wrong, keep the principal intact
→ Let profits run, let the market do its thing

He followed this approach:

In the first half, he slowly accumulated around the ETH ecosystem, growing his account from $12,000 to $27,000;
In the middle, he pre-positioned in the AI sector, catching a wave of sector rotation;
The real breakout was during a dip, when he added positions and shot his account up to $92,000.

Rhythm, logic, direction—all in sync.

Later, I asked him how he feels now.

He said something that left a deep impression on me:
"Before, the market dragged me along; now I feel like I’m leading the market."

That’s true growth.

Many people think multiplying their money relies on luck.
Wrong.

The truth is: rhythm, position sizing, and execution—these three determine whether you can turn things around.

Bottom line:

While you're still chasing the market, the pros are already waiting for it to turn back to find them.
While you're still debating long or short, the pros have already planned their next move to roll their positions.

If your account is stuck, making some profit only to lose it again—

The market is always there, opportunities are always available.
Whether you can eat the meat depends on whether you can hold on until the rhythm comes.
