To make short-term profits with Bitcoin, the key is to grasp the three rhythms of the market.



First is riding the hype. When new coins or influential figures' opinions emerge, retail investors' emotions fluctuate accordingly. What you need to do is quickly capture the hot window of these Meme coins—enter decisively when enthusiasm is high, but make sure to exit before the hype starts to fade, not waiting until it cools off completely.

Second is the reverse operation of panic and greed. During a market crash, take small positions to buy the dip; avoid full positions betting on a rebound. Conversely, during sharp rises, reduce your holdings gradually. The goal is to earn small profits; don’t dream of buying at the lowest or selling at the highest—such things simply don’t exist.

The last tip is discipline. Keep your position in any single coin below 5%, set a stop-loss of 10%-20% on each trade, and stick to it once triggered. Small profits accumulate over time, but never hold onto losing positions. These three points are simple in theory, but executing them is the biggest test of human nature.

That's right, but riding the trend really depends on quick reflexes. I've been burned by Meme coins too many times, and only then did I realize the problem isn't choosing the right coin, but knowing when to run. Discipline is no joke; a 5% position size has saved me multiple times. Friends holding on to their positions might still be stuck in it now.

Well said, but the number of people who can truly do it is very few. I've seen too many die because of the words "wait a little longer."

To put it simply, it's really a nightmare to execute. I only realized this after experiencing a liquidation once due to holding a position too long.

Sounds good, but it's just chasing hot topics to cut leeks. The key is that most people simply can't stick to discipline—when they make money, they get inflated; when they lose money, they hold on to their positions. I haven't seen many who can stick to a 5% position.

Everyone's right, but my blood, sweat, and tears story is that I didn't do these three things, especially the 5% position limit. I went all in on Meme coins at the time, and then... I got liquidated again and again.

Basically, don't be greedy, but that's the hardest part... I've seen too many people die because of the words "wait a little longer."

It sounds good, but how many can truly stick to discipline? I've seen a bunch of people holding full positions and eventually getting wiped out; their stop-loss settings were useless.
