Looking at the stories of overnight riches on social media during each bull market, many people want to try their luck. But I've been in the crypto world for over ten years, and I want to tell you some real talk—the traps behind making money are more than you think.

The crypto space can indeed create quick wealth, but the problem is that most people can't actually get their hands on that money. They become stepping stones for others' profits. I often tell investors: how much you can earn in the crypto world ultimately depends on how long you can坚持.

**Who is really making quick money?**

The people who truly make big money in this market mainly fall into two categories.

The first are those early participants with sharp vision. They bought in before Bitcoin and Ethereum became widely recognized. Or they participated in liquidity mining during the rise of DeFi, or snatched airdrops when NFT projects launched. These people earn a lot, but the premise is that they are敏锐 with information and decisive in execution.

The second are professional short-term traders. Since the crypto market is highly volatile, these traders rely on frequent trading to make a living. The key is that they have ironclad discipline—strict stop-loss and risk control, and their emotions never influence their decisions.

But both paths are difficult. Those who only screenshot and post their profits without mentioning risks? They are probably setting you up.

**What I learned from huge losses to stable profits**

Having gone through so many bull and bear cycles, I gradually figured out the way. The most important points:

First, position management is the foundation of survival. I divide my funds into three parts—long-term holdings, mid-term swings, and short-term testing. This way, even if my short-term judgment fails, I won't be wiped out.
