Having been active in the crypto world for many years, I have seen too many people swallowed by market fluctuations, and also a few who have achieved wealth through sticking to their principles. A friend took 7 years to grow an initial capital of 80,000 yuan into a multimillion-level fortune. The key is not about catching a certain trend, but rather a deep understanding of market laws and consistent execution.

His asset allocation is also very instructive—four properties with clear distribution: self-use, filial piety, rental income, and stable cash flow. This just shows that ultimately, crypto gains need to be grounded in real assets. Over 7 years, he never relied on rumors, but on the continuous implementation of a few simple yet effective trading principles.

These principles may seem simple, but they hit the essence of the market:

**Rapid gains, gentle declines** — Behind this are often large funds quietly positioning. After a sharp rise, a gentle correction, don’t be fooled by surface volatility; rhythm is the key to judgment.

**Rapid drops, weak rebounds** — This signals capital fleeing. When prices crash suddenly and can't be pulled back up, the bottom-fishing mentality becomes the most dangerous, easily trapping investors.

**Volume at high levels doesn’t necessarily mean a top.** Sometimes, volume surges at the top are still pushing forward, while shrinking volume at the top usually indicates the market is truly ending. Many people overlook this detail.

**A single large volume at the bottom is unreliable,** only continuous volume confirms it. A one-time spike in volume is often a false signal; multiple sustained increases in volume indicate a gradual market consensus forming.

**Essentially, trading is about human psychology,** not charts. No matter how complex the technical indicators, they all point to one thing—the market sentiment. Trading volume is the most direct barometer of emotion.

**Finally, it’s a matter of mindset—"Nothingness."** Without desire, fear, or attachment, one can live longer. Enduring the quiet periods of inactivity prepares you for the rewards when the big market arrives.

None of these rules depend on luck or insider information; they are all about observing and understanding market logic. Worth pondering carefully.
