In the last cycle, I successfully reached half of A9, but the 519 turmoil and the two-year bear market caused me to lose nearly half of my assets.

Every bull market will make people rich, but they will soon lose everything due to their inflated mentality. How to keep profits and stay at the table forever is the top priority of this market. The inscriptions, local dogs, and some novel things that appeared today did make a group of people rich, but how many people can keep their wealth? The money lost by luck will eventually be lost by strength. So it is very important to know how to keep the money after making it.

Diversified Investments

Cryptocurrency is a high-risk field. Don't put all your money into 1-2 currencies. Even a project like LUNA, which was once ranked in the top ten in terms of market value, will be reduced to zero overnight. A reasonable investment portfolio and weak correlation are the key to maintaining a balanced position. At the same time, determine your investment portfolio and quantity limit according to the size of your funds and your risk tolerance.

And focus on familiar areas and the core narratives of each cycle, such as the core narratives of 2023-2025:

AI, RWA, DEPIN, GAMEFI, SOL, MEME

Be cautious in greed and greedy in fear

The market is constantly facing FOMO and FUD. Due to the unregulated environment of cryptocurrency and the development of social media, various voices emerge in an endless stream. But investment is often anti-human. For example, when BTC fell below 59,000, FUD was very serious. Many people saw 50,000 or 40,000, but they had no logic and just drew lines based on technology. If technology can beat the market, many people should be millionaires, especially with the support of AI. So think independently, macro + micro + data + funds, and make comprehensive market judgments with high probability. Decide the investment position based on probability.

Pay attention to market sentiment

In the market, we often make two kinds of money, one is emotional money, and the other is cyclical money. The former determines the track rotation, which is often triggered by events. The latter determines the position allocation and makes big money in the cycle.

It is crucial to identify the end point and starting point of market track rotation.

For example, the RWA craze triggered by BlackRock not long ago saw many RWA projects return 3-4 times in just one week. But after a period of emotion, the pendulum effect will dissipate. At this moment, it is crucial to double the principal in time or adopt a dynamic balance strategy for positions.

Stay hungry, keep learning

It is very important to focus on your own track.

Everyone has limited energy and learning ability. It is impossible to be all-round and focus on one's own track. For example, in this cycle, the main focus is on AI, RWA, SOL ecology, DEPIN, and GAMEFI. Although there are hot restaking tracks and modular tracks in the market, I have rarely been involved. So I didn't get the money from the staking this time, but I am not jealous of you. It is impossible to grasp every opportunity to make money.

The best way

Seek an organization where everyone can work together, take advantage of each other's strengths, and share resources

Build a team where excellent people support each other

Protect your assets

Safety is always the first priority. It is recommended that users with more than 100,000 US dollars use cold wallets. Any exchange has risks. Only when the assets are in your own hands can it be the safest. Learn from large institutions. They always store assets in cold wallets, and the exchange is only a medium of exchange. Only when transactions are needed will they be transferred in and out of the exchange. At other times, assets are in cold wallets. This is the lesson of FTX. Many people went bankrupt because of this, including myself, who suffered heavy losses.

Profit Taking

It is very important. In each cycle, you need to plan and predict in advance, what position you will reach and what you should do, instead of just rushing forward. In the market, sometimes you need to rush forward, and sometimes you need to stop. Stopping is more important than rushing forward.

In this cycle, I will make profit-taking plans at two points:

For positions above 100,000 USD, sell 10% of your position for every 10% increase.

In the second and third quarters of 2025, this cycle will clear out all positions.

keep patient

Investing is a long-term thing. Extend the dimension of life and think and invest like Buffett.

Always remember to make money in cycles, this is the secret to always winning. Cycles are like pendulums, never stopping. The world is a serial drama that is constantly repeated, only the plot and characters change slightly, but the essence and core are exactly the same. We have been in recession-depression-recovery-prosperity-recession, just like the famous Merrill Lynch clock, repeating over and over again. Opportunities are forever, and making a fortune in life depends on Kondratieff waves, and hard work has little effect.
