People who make money in the crypto world all understand this logic. Today, I will share the three most core experiences openly.



**Focus on one sector, master the main upward wave**
In a bull market, opportunities seem to be everywhere. In reality, holding too many different coins can easily lead to chaos. I’ve seen too many people hold ten or more coins simultaneously, only earning small amounts from each. In the end, the total profit is often less than what they would have earned by heavily investing in a single coin. The most reliable approach is to select a promising sector, thoroughly understand the leading project, and focus on the main upward wave—this is the most efficient way to profit.

**New coins outperform old coins; don’t buy out of sentiment**
Low-priced old coins may seem attractive, but that’s often a trap. Projects that once had glory days have long lost investor attention and are now full of trapped chips. New coins are different—new stories, new capital influx, and enough popularity and growth potential. For example, coins like $RSR with recent developments are favored because the market always loves fresh things—that’s an iron law.

**Cycle is king; clear all positions at the end**
The crypto cycle repeats every four years, and bull-bear transitions are predictable. When even relatives who don’t understand finance start discussing crypto trading, that’s a risk signal. At this point, it’s better to accept smaller gains and decisively clear all altcoins to lock in profits. The damage of a bear market is far more terrifying than you imagine; hesitation can wipe out all previous gains.

Timing precisely and maintaining discipline are the fundamental logic for stable profits.

It makes some sense, but I still think new coins are too risky; you could easily lose everything and go to zero.

Basically, greed is what kills people. I've seen too many who put all their funds into a dozen coins and end up getting scammed or running away in the end.

That's right, the biggest flaw of retail investors is greed—they want to copy everything, but end up not making a single penny in the end.

Haha, this set of explanations is quite old news, but it still hits close to home in the third point.

Haha, that makes a lot of sense, but the execution is difficult. I always want to go all in on one, but I end up being careless and spreading out.

Haha, it's the same old spiel. It sounds nice, but those who really make big money never do it this way.

Old coins are all traps; I've seen firsthand how miserable those who buy the dip can be.

It all sounds right, but very few can actually execute it. My experience is that retail investors will always get wiped out by dispersed holdings; it may seem like reducing risk, but in reality, it reduces returns. However, the second point about new coins has some issues—new coins do tend to pump easily, but on-chain data shows that highly关注ed new projects have a higher proportion of liquidity traps, and the profits eaten up by gas war costs are often more than expected. The real arbitrage opportunities still lie in the price differences of old coins, as long as you can monitor the mempool and find suitable flash loan entry points. The cycle theory, on the other hand, is quite solid.

It sounds good, but in practice, who isn't greedy? How many people have I seen say they will focus their firepower, only to get itchy hands and buy ten or so more coins...
