After spending years in the crypto market, how have your results been?

I’m 35 this year and own two properties in Guangzhou, all thanks to eight years of battling in the crypto space. My initial investment was 300,000, and I clawed my way up to tens of millions. Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing—in the worst times, my principal shrank to just 60,000, and I really started to question my life choices. But later, using a seemingly “clumsy” method, I achieved a 400x return in just four months, eventually accumulating just over 20 million.

**When the bull market comes, don’t try to win it all**
My experience is: focus your firepower on one sector and ride the main uptrend thoroughly. For example, when the AI narrative was hot, I went all-in on that sector—first building positions in the leaders, then following up on laggards for secondary gains. After one round of this, the returns were already considerable.

**New tokens are where the real opportunities lie**
Many people like to cling to old coins, but most of those are just “legacy issues.” New tokens come with new narratives, traffic, and attention. Following the latest stories is much more efficient for making money. This isn’t superstition—it’s a market rule.

**Futures trading: three iron rules you must not break**
I’ve made eight figures in futures, but also been liquidated countless times. Hard-learned lessons gave me three principles: never go all-in, keep leverage under 5x, and never hesitate to cut losses when needed. If you can follow these, at least you won’t get wiped out too badly.

**Awareness of cycles is life or death**
The crypto market cycles roughly every four years—this is a hard rule. At the end of a bull market, you must clear out of altcoins, no discussion. When even the food delivery guy is talking to you about which coin will 10x, that’s basically a top signal. If you don’t get out, the bear market will show you what a “hell-level drawdown” really is.

**The so-called “clumsy method” is actually steady and methodical**
I never chase already-hyped trends, but research projects with potential that haven’t gone crazy yet. Once I pick a sector, I go for the leader for stability and the promising ones for risk/reward. Stay out during the bear, go heavy in the bull, and exit decisively at the end of the bull. That’s it.

If you want to make money in this market, first ask yourself if you can handle a 90% drawdown. I don’t rely on insider info or gambling on luck—I rely on grasping the rhythm of the market. Find the rhythm, and you can survive here with dignity. If you’re still feeling lost, try my “clumsy method”—in crypto, the ones who laugh last are always those who survive to the end.
