How patient are top trading experts? My mentor, when I first entered the market, spent 80% of the time waiting and 20% of the time operating, and within three years traded up to an eight-digit sum. The method is simple and practical, only placing one or two trades each month, entering the market only when opportunities are clear, while spending more time fishing or playing with children.
In a year, I catch a few market waves, and I summarize these key points for making money.
From an ordinary small town youth to a player in the coin circle, the core of changing fate is not luck, but recognizing oneself and finding the right 'guide'. Whether growing up or becoming stronger,
Life is a continuous process of learning and progressing. In the coin circle, the turning point of fate is particularly rapid, but similarly, opportunities are fleeting, and time and choices are the lifelines of wealth.
Why is your effort
It seems completely meaningless
Many people strive in confusion but see no progress. The core issues boil down to two:
First, you haven't found a truly great teacher;
Second, you were deceived.
Being deceived isn't scary; what's scary is still spinning in an inefficient circle after being deceived, and not even being able to perceive the truth of being 'deceived'. In the coin circle, there are people shouting about 'sky-high breakthroughs' for new projects and new coins every day, but the vast majority can't tell which are opportunities and which are traps. What you see might be doubled returns, but you can’t access the logic behind the big players' operations.
From an unknown small town youth to a reversal in the coin circle, my starting point is much lower than yours.
I was born in a small town in an inland rural area, where information was extremely closed. When I was young, my family didn't even have a computer, let alone come across anything like 'Bitcoin' or 'blockchain'. It wasn't until 10 years ago that my life took a turn.
At that time, I had already graduated from school for a few years, mingling in some social circles of a small town, but I still had no direction. By chance, I saw an introduction to Ripple+(XRP) online, which led me to connect with a 'big shot' in the circle -- Gu Qianfeng.
He was an early developer of Ripple, and at that time Ripple was just starting. To recruit developers, there was no salary in the early stages, and they even directly paid in tokens.
If he hadn't sold that batch of Ripple early, he might be worth hundreds of billions today. And I, at that time, was just a young man wanting to 'catch a ride', hoping to find a direction. So, I made a crazy decision: to go to Shanghai to find him in person, making one or two trips every month, just to chat with him for a few minutes.
You might ask: 'Is it really worth it?'
My answer is: 'What’s not worth it is staying in place and wasting life!'
Integrating into the circle is your first step to changing your fate, and making money in the circle has never relied on the two words 'effort', but rather on information asymmetry and circle advantages. In the circle, time equals money, and the value of your time depends on the information your circle can provide.
Do you remember the ICO boom in 2017? At that time, ordinary people didn’t understand the significance of 'issuing coins', while those in the circle were already making layouts, purchasing tokens at low prices in advance, waiting for ordinary people to flood in to sell for dozens or even hundreds of times the profit.
Those who make a fortune aren't necessarily smarter than you; they obtained information and stood at a higher level of the circle. And you? Still watching others flaunt their earnings in the circle, not even understanding what happened.
The truth of high-end circles: it's not that they don’t include you, but that you're not worthy of joining. I dare say that 99% of ordinary coin circle investors lack clear self-awareness. They think 'buying and waiting for a surge' is the essence of investing, but have you ever thought about where this information comes from?
Top players in the coin circle hold core resources; they have established their own closed-loop ecosystem. Like early Bitcoin miner communities, DeFi project development teams, or even some VC investors, the flow of information among them is something you cannot access.
So, while ordinary people are still discussing in the group 'should we buy the dip', those in the circle have already locked in profits, quietly waiting for the next opportunity. You haven't been 'cut like leeks' because you simply don't qualify to be leeks. You don't even have a ticket to enter the battlefield, so how can you talk about success?
How to reverse? Find truly capable people and fully integrate into the core of high-end circles. It’s not about money but about value exchange. If you can't prove your value, actively paying for learning or finding opportunities to get close to the big shots is the most practical approach.
Take me as an example, back then, to connect with Gu Qianfeng, I not only invested a lot of time but also took on various 'errand' tasks, just to get him to see me in a different light. In the end, I not only successfully gained his guidance but also entered the core circle with the help of his connections.
Even today, having achieved a certain level of financial freedom, I will still continue to invest in my circle. Spending tens of thousands of dollars each year to attend closed-door meetings and subscribing to top-tier analysis reports is the best investment for me.
These days I'm preparing for the layout of a divine order that is about to start!!!
