Opportunities in the crypto world are year after year, but the problem is most people simply can't hold on.

I have a friend who once saw his account shrink to just 600 bucks, and everyone was stunned. It’s not that the market doesn’t give opportunities, but his trading style was just like a gambler—when bullish, he goes all in; when bearish, he pretends to be dead and lays flat; any emotional fluctuation, he pushes his entire net worth into it. Can you imagine? The more anxious he gets, the more he loses; the more he loses, the more anxious he becomes—a vicious cycle.

Then he made a 180-degree turn. He decided not to touch coins that are overly hyped, and no matter how exciting the market gets, he only tests the waters with small positions. If he doesn’t understand the chart, he just stays out and observes. After changing his trading habits for just three days, his 600 bucks turned into over 40,000. This is not some fairy tale; it’s because he finally understood—that to survive long in the crypto space, it’s not about passion or luck, but about having a systematic methodology.

**Retail investors are truly not being harvested because of the market**

Now the market is just a game of "big fish eating small fish." Large institutions quietly liquidate before a price crash, and retail investors, instead of staying cautious, rush in to buy the dip, becoming the victims of being cut. During the Terra collapse and FTX fiasco, the data was clear—big players withdrew early, while retail investors bravely bought in, only to end up as the little guys getting chopped.

Look at how meme coins explode—when a meme coin skyrockets 7000x in three days, it sounds exciting, right? But in reality, one person took $10 million profit, 40 people each earned over $1 million, and over 6,000 others could only sip the leftovers. Not to mention those carefully crafted Rug Pull traps—what seems like endless opportunities is actually a trap everywhere.

So the problem has never been the market itself; it’s that you first need to learn how to survive.
