After this cycle, it is enough to make many people realize that it will be increasingly difficult to make money in the crypto world, and without a good plan, it is impossible to make big money. Combining this personal experience, there are two most practical methods:
1. Enter the lowest range of the big cycle (end of Bear Market), and go all in with all idle funds to buy high-quality altcoins below 1💲, such as gala and MANA that were very bullish in the last round two years ago. I didn't touch BTC and ETH at all. After the New Year's Day last year, gala rose 4 times from January to March, and I exchanged all of them for BTC and ETH in March, which turned into 22 BTC and more than 80 ETH in no time. SOL didn't show any signs of rising in the first half of last year, and I basically didn't do anything (I only had 100 SOL in the first half of last year). Buying altcoins at the lowest point of the big cycle is because its medium-term trend has a higher profit rate than BTC, but when it reaches around 300% return, it needs to be exchanged for BTC to hedge against the decline. Why did I need to go all in when BTC pulled back to around 17000 two years ago without much consideration? It's not because the price was low enough, as at that time, people were still seeing 12000, 8000, and 6000 on Twitter. The lowest point of this big cycle is not about technical aspects, but about the macroeconomic level, focusing on the time when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 50 basis points for the last time. It was basically the lowest point of BTC and the lowest point of the US stock market about a month before.
2. In the late stage of the Bear Market, focus on buying a coin as a chip for coin-based Long. For example, in this cycle, we already know that BTC and SOL are the best targets for short-term contracts. In the next Bear Market, only buy these two coins and focus on coin-based Long in the rising trend, earning coins with coins and selling them while earning profits, converting profits into USDT, and using USDTMargin ReplenishmentSpot for financial management during each major decline. The combination of coin-based Long+Spot profit-taking is like a money-printing machine in a unilateral market. As for other coins, they can almost be ignored. Changing coins today, holding coins every day, it's harder than playing big A, and you can't earn big money, so why bother?
