Trading cryptocurrencies for 8 years turned 6,000 yuan into 900,000 yuan. It sounds crazy, but there are no secrets—no insider information, no catching the wildest market moves—just a set of clumsy methods refined repeatedly.

Having stayed in this market for 2920 days, I only hold one belief: treat trading like leveling up in a game, stay patient and calm, and gradually hone your skills. Today, I share 6 practical insights, each earned through paying tuition.

**Tip 1: Rapid rise, slow fall—whales are stockpiling**

A sharp surge followed by a slow decline is mostly a shakeout. Don’t rush to cut. When it reaches the top, that’s when a sudden high-volume push occurs, then a "crash" waterfall drops, catching retail investors off guard.

**Tip 2: Fast fall, slow rise—whales are offloading**

After a flash crash, a slow rebound doesn’t mean you’re catching a bargain; it’s likely the last move. Don’t think "it’s fallen so much, how much lower can it go?" That mindset is the easiest way to get caught.

**Tip 3: Volume at the top may not be over; no volume is a warning**

High volume at a high level might still push for another wave; but if it’s quiet with no volume at the top, that’s a sign of impending collapse.

**Tip 4: Volume at the bottom, don’t get carried away; sustained volume is reliable**

A single spike in volume might just be bait. First, let it oscillate for a while; then, after several days of continuous volume, that’s a real opportunity to build a position.

**Tip 5: Trading volume is a thermometer of market sentiment**

Candlestick charts show the result, but volume is the weather vane of emotions. Small volume indicates no one is playing; sudden surges mean real money is flowing in. Understanding volume helps you read market psychology.

**Tip 6: "Nothing" is the highest realm**

No obsession—if it’s time to be out, be out. No greed, no panic. This isn’t about lying flat; it’s about mastering your trading mindset. Opportunities in crypto are always there; what’s missing is someone who can control their hands and see the bigger picture. You’re not slow; you’ve just been blindly stumbling in the dark too much. The market opportunities for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others are daily; the key is waiting for that moment that truly belongs to you.

Turning 6,000 into 900,000 sounds impressive, but honestly, it's just about waiting, reading enough, and controlling your hands. I've also been pondering this approach, and I feel the hardest part is still point six—very few people can truly hold an empty position.

Laughing to death, over 8 years turning 6,000 yuan into 900,000, while I over these 8 years turned 900,000 into 6,000 yuan, mutual harm, right? This guy is indeed reasonable, but guess why most people still lose money? Because they know it in theory, but when their hands tremble, they forget everything. Volume is indeed the key, but unfortunately most people are already trapped when they understand it. This is not paying tuition fees, this is paying rent. I agree most with point six—the joy of being out of the market is something you all-in gamblers simply can't understand, and neither can my wallet.

We've discussed the volume topic so much, but what I care more about is—how many people can truly endure that "nothing" phase.

It sounds like a story, but in reality, it's just good luck and living longer.

You're right, the key is still mindset. I've been caught multiple times because of impulsiveness. I can't help but wonder, what was the biggest drawdown in these 8 years? Fake-out followed by a plunge—it's really incredible, and I keep falling for it every time. I've understood the importance of volume now; I used to only look at candlestick charts, but now I've reversed that approach. Holding a cash position can also be profitable, this is something I should have accepted earlier. Everything said is correct, but when it comes to execution, it's easy to get carried away, so I still need to keep working on myself.

6000 turns into 900,000? Man, your skills are really honed, but I still think luck plays a big part... I can't read the volume, no matter how much experience I have, it's all useless. I often get caught up here. Holding a position empty is also making money. I have to repeat this phrase several times. The real difficulty isn't reading the K-line, it's resisting the urge to act at that moment. Every time I say I won't be greedy this time, but I still get trapped by the tricks...

Another story of "I made 900,000," and the key phrase is "there's no secret," hilarious. Those who truly have secrets have long since kept quiet. Wait, that phrase "ignorance is the highest realm" feels so familiar. Did some big V say that two years ago? This wave of volume analysis does have some substance, but honestly, nine out of ten people in the crypto circle are just fooling themselves into thinking they have "skills," when in fact it's just luck. Turning 6,000 into 900,000 is indeed impressive, but I wouldn't believe it without seeing the trading logs. Everyone's right, but when it comes to execution, no one can do it. That's the most heartbreaking part.

One word: wait. Everything else is just messing around.
