#美联储降息 Why is it that some people always manage to make money in every market cycle?
This question is actually asked quite often. Just review trading records, and you'll find that those who survive tend to follow a simple logic: accumulate in bear markets, sell in bull markets. It sounds straightforward, but only a small fraction—less than 1%—actually execute it effectively.
I entered the market in 2017 with only 8,000 yuan. Since then, I have experienced three complete cycles of bull and bear markets, seen the terrifying halving of coin prices, and also witnessed tenfold and twentyfold surges. But the deepest sense of experience actually comes from stories of those who went broke overnight — after seeing so much, you realize the true cost of greed.
So my approach can be summed up in two words: follow the trend.
During bear markets, the market is filled with fear, big players quietly withdraw, and coin prices continue to fall. At this point, I start to gradually deploy. The cheaper, the more willing I am to buy. What does a price drop fundamentally indicate? The main players are frantically accumulating. Buying at such times is essentially like picking up bargains.
Conversely, when a bull market begins, the entire network becomes excited, and retail investors rush to chase highs. My approach is exactly the opposite — gradually reduce positions and systematically exit. The more frantic the market, the more it’s time to stay calm and exit.
With this rhythm, profits of three, five, or even ten times accumulate cycle after cycle. From 8,000 yuan to a seven-figure net worth, it’s not just a fantasy; it relies on strict discipline, understanding of market cycles, and firm execution.
The market never rewards greed, but it always respects those with patience who dare to act in despair.
Currently, the market trend is at a critical point, and real opportunities often emerge from the darkest moments.

Basically, it's about mindset and execution. Everyone around me who has made money did so by bottom-fishing in the bear market without ever doubting themselves.
The biggest flaw of retail investors is chasing highs and selling lows. Seeing others make money makes them get greedy, and when prices fall, they panic and close positions.
It's a valid point, but how many can actually stick to their beliefs for two or three years without wavering?
Is this really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or just another round of harvesting the chives? The key is whether you can hold on.

That's right, the key is still mindset. Bottoming out in a bear market really requires a big heart; most people get wiped out by fear.
Exactly, it's about going against the trend. The greedy ones have already been liquidated.
This theory sounds simple, but actually implementing it is harder than ascending to heaven.
Following the trend sounds nice, but in reality, it's patience. Those who can endure will make money.
But to be honest, the seven-figure number deserves a question mark.

You're right, but it's just talk. How many people actually dare to invest during a real bear market? Anyway, I always want to buy the dip, but end up getting hammered half to death.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but how many people can really stick to discipline? I see most people still sitting in the mempool watching price differences, and then they lose everything in a gas war. The key is to have that kind of resolve.

It's easy to talk about, but actually achieving it is indeed rare. I've tried myself, but every bear market crushes my mindset. That said, an increase from 8,000 to a seven-figure number definitely requires iron will.

It sounds nice, but there really aren't many who actually follow through. I'm just that 1% who got cut, haha.

That's right, the key is to be patient and not impulsive, but 99% of people can't do it.

Everyone understands this logic, the hard part is actually daring to buy during a bear market. I am the kind of person who only talks about it on paper.
---
From 8k to seven figures, that's really impressive, but how much of it is due to luck?
---
Following the trend sounds simple, but executing it is really about devilish details. I have been taught countless times by the market.
---
The most feared thing is that during the middle of a bear market build-up, the price continues to fall, and the psychological defenses collapse.
---
Ah, it's that same old "the cheaper, the more willing to buy," but who knows when the bottom is?
---
I agree with selling during a bull market, but when it gets really frantic, who would be willing to sell? That's the hardest part.
---
Breaking out of darkness sounds beautiful, but my dark moment is simply taking losses.
---
Discipline and execution sound right, but the problem is, your discipline is probably just a post-hoc summary.
---
I've never seen anyone actually hit the perfect timing; it's all just bragging afterward.
