Recently, a fren privately messaged me asking: Is there still an opportunity for ordinary people to get on board the crypto market?

To be honest, I can confidently say now: yes. But the premise is that you have to throw away that office worker mentality.

Look at the current environment: salary increases can't keep up with rent, savings interest can't outpace inflation, and traditional investment channels have various thresholds. For most people, the paths that can truly rewrite their destiny are actually quite limited.

The crypto market has a unique aspect - it doesn't care how impressive your resume is, it doesn't ask about the strength of your connections, nor does it matter if you graduated from a prestigious university. This circle only recognizes two things: whether your judgment is clear enough, and whether you can hold on or not.

The problem lies here.

When the market rises, I'm afraid to stand guard and dare not enter; when it falls, I'm afraid to catch the bottom and end up halfway up the mountain. After a complete cycle of bull and bear markets, all that's left is a mind full of "if only I had known."

I have seen too many people like this. When the market rises, they curse themselves for not getting on board, and when it crashes, they are scared and liquidate their positions, always half a beat slower than the market, living every day in regret over "what if" and "if only".

But there is another type of person. They may not be professionals, and they might not even know how to read K-lines when they first get on board, but they share a common trait: they can remain calm amidst market chaos and start to think about positioning when others are panicking.

I knew a brother before, very ordinary, saved up for a few weeks to gather a capital of 500 dollars.

But his operations impressed me: while others were chasing highs, he stayed put; when others were panic selling, he instead researched the targets; while others were filled with thoughts of "getting rich overnight," he only pondered "how to keep the principal alive until the next bull market."

Later, he really turned things around. It wasn't just luck, but he realized a principle: in this market, it's not about who rushes the hardest, but about who can stay calm and not act impulsively.

You can never accurately gauge where the top and bottom are, but what you can do is - don’t always stay on the sidelines.

This market is fair to everyone, and opportunities are there. What truly makes the difference is who is well-prepared and who can seize them.

Opportunities for bull and bear market switches are always present, but what is lacking are those who are ready to seize the opportunities. Observers will always miss the next wave, while those who get on board decisively have long been waiting for the next stop.
