Everyone who has been in the crypto world knows that this is an extremely volatile place. At the same time, in the same market, some people's assets have multiplied hundreds of times, while others watch their accounts shrink day by day. What exactly is the difference?

I have interacted with many experienced players, and the most impressive one is an investor who has been in the game for over ten years. He started with 100,000 yuan, and now his account market value has surpassed 50 million. I asked him what his secret was, and he told me one sentence: Ultimately, the crypto space is a game of human nature. Controlling your emotions turns this market into a cash machine.

To be honest, when I first heard this, I was a bit skeptical. After experiencing several major market fluctuations and being beaten back and forth by the market, I truly understood the weight of this statement. To survive in the crypto world, relying on luck is too uncertain, relying on skills alone is not enough, and the most important thing is mindset—stability plus a reasonable strategy, and the market will naturally give you opportunities.

So how exactly to do it? Here are some practical tips:

**Timing your entry carefully, avoid greed and impatience.** Many people want to make a big splash right after entering, but they often get caught the worst. The correct approach is to test the waters with small amounts, gradually increase positions, and even when facing the most tempting opportunities, stay disciplined.

**The sideways consolidation phase tests patience the most.** During low-level sideways movement, if new lows are created, it’s a good opportunity to add heavily; during high-level sideways movement, if it surges, sell decisively. The key is to watch support and resistance levels closely—those patterns are right there.

**Learn to choose the right moments during volatile markets.** Don’t panic during short-term fluctuations. Reduce or sell when prices surge, selectively enter during dips, and be patient during sideways movements. Chasing highs and selling lows is the fastest way to lose money.

**Timing your buy and sell decisions requires contrarian thinking.** When others are greedily bullish, you should be fearful; when others are fearful, you need to have courage. Simply put, buy on red candles and sell on green candles, enter during big dips, and exit during big surges.

**Always prioritize risk management.** No matter how promising the market looks, don’t go all-in. Don’t try to be a hero or gamble everything. Build positions gradually and set stop-losses gradually. Once losses reach your preset stop-loss level, exit immediately. When profitable, plan to take profits gradually as well.

These principles sound simple, but each one is a lesson learned through real money in the market. Opportunities in the crypto space are always there—if you learn to wait, control yourself, and stay calm amid fear, turning your situation around is no longer a dream.
