After ten years of ups and downs in the cryptocurrency world, I have finally managed to live my life well.

At 22, I naively entered the crypto space. Now at 32, after experiencing the ups and downs of the market, I have finally made a breakthrough in 2023-2024, with my account reaching eight figures for the first time.

Now when I travel, I am used to staying in hotels at the two thousand yuan level, and I prefer luggage and hats with cryptocurrency branding. Compared to my elders in traditional industries and the post-80s engaged in e-commerce, my life seems particularly relaxed—I don't need to deal with contract disputes, stay glued to the supply chain, or be involved in various business quarrels, which greatly reduces my worries.

People often ask me for tips on trading cryptocurrencies, and I believe that mindset is more important than skills. Over the years, I have summarized some rules I would like to share:

$BTC is the barometer of the crypto market, and its overall rise and fall basically dictate the market. Mainstream coins like Ethereum can occasionally have independent trends, but altcoins are completely influenced by Bitcoin's movements.

There is a clear negative correlation between $BTC and USDT: when USDT rises, be cautious of Bitcoin falling; when Bitcoin surges, it is a good time to accumulate USDT.

Domestic investors should pay special attention to two time periods: from midnight to 1 AM, there is a tendency for "flash crashes" to occur, and setting low buy and high sell orders before sleep often leads to unexpected gains; from 6 AM to 8 AM is a critical period for judging the day's trend—if there is a drop from midnight to 6 AM, and these two hours continue to decline, one can decisively buy or add to their position, as there is a high probability of a rebound that day; if there is an increase in the first half of the night, and these two hours continue to rise, one should sell in a timely manner, as there is a high likelihood of a correction that day.

The time around 5 PM also requires close attention. Due to time zone differences, American investors begin to become active, and the market can experience significant volatility; many large fluctuations occur during this period.

The notion of "Black Friday" is not entirely accurate. Although there have been instances of significant drops on Fridays, there have also been many instances of rises and sideways movements; the key is to combine this with news analysis and not to panic excessively.

The most practical advice: as long as it's not a worthless coin, do not panic when any coin with trading volume drops. Hold patiently, whether for three to four days or up to a month, and you will generally be able to break even. If you have idle funds, consider gradually adding to your position to lower costs; if you don't have extra funds, just hold firmly, and you definitely won't go wrong.

If you don't know what to do now, follow Hu Ge; as long as you take the initiative, I will always be here!
