#2026年比特币价格展望 Eight years in the crypto world, I went from 29 to 37 years old

To be honest, I never planned to turn back on this path from the start. In 2023 and 2024, my account balance first broke through eight figures—at that moment, I understood what a "watershed" really means.

My lifestyle has completely changed. Staying in five-star hotels when going out, not caring about thousands of yuan per night; my luggage and baseball caps are all branded with crypto symbols, and walking on the street, I want people to instantly recognize my identity. Compared to peers who work in factories or do odd jobs, my days are ridiculously relaxed—no supply chain worries, no contract disputes, no client debts, life is refreshingly simple.

People often chase after me asking: how exactly do you trade to make money?

I've thought about it for a long time, and the answer isn't that complicated—mindset first, skills second. Over these years of ups and downs, I’ve summarized some "tricks," and today I’ll openly share them:

**$BTC is always the core**. To survive in this circle, you must keep your eyes on it at all times. When it rises, the whole market has hope; when it falls, small coins have no way out. $ETH occasionally can move independently, but don’t expect altcoins to withstand a major market downturn.

**$BTC and $USDT are like a seesaw**. Remember this: when USDT is rising, be cautious of Bitcoin; when Bitcoin surges too fast, quickly stash some USDT and take profits.

**Timing is crucial**. I’ve repeatedly verified this:

From 0:00 to 1:00 AM, the market is most prone to "gap-ups"—placing orders before bed often yields a surprise profit.

From 6:00 to 8:00 AM, it’s a weather vane for the day’s trend:
- If it fell during the first half of the night and still drops in these two hours, it’s a good time to add to positions—most likely, there will be a rebound that day.
- If it rose during the first half and continues to rise in these two hours, it’s time to run—likely a correction will follow that day.

Don’t get distracted at 5:00 PM. This is when US funds are entering the market, and big swings tend to happen during this window.

The "Black Friday" curse? Don’t take it too seriously. It’s fallen, risen, and consolidated on Fridays—ultimately, news and sentiment decide.

One of the most effective truths: as long as it’s not an air project, any coin with trading depth, when it drops, don’t panic. In three to five days or a month or two, it can recover. If you have spare funds, buy in batches to lower your average cost and speed up your break-even point; if not, tough it out—it's not a big problem.

The proudest moment I had: bought Dogecoin at $0.085 and held on tightly until now, it’s risen over 20 times. That period tested my mental strength the most, but sticking with it made me a winner.

In the crypto world, the truth is, it’s about repeatedly testing your psychological limits and execution. Skills can be learned, but mindset is innate—some people are naturally suited, others are not. You’ll see which one you are within a few months of trading.
