2025 will be a turning point in my crypto investment career. From Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high at the beginning of the year, to the explosion of the Solana ecosystem mid-year, and finally to the influx of institutional funds at the end of the year, the entire market feels like a huge window of opportunity.

My trading portfolio is mainly divided into two parts. The core holdings involve dollar-cost averaging in BTC and ETH, two blue-chip coins that I坚持长期持有不动摇. The contract portion is relatively cautious, mainly engaging in swing trading of ALT coins—especially during the wave when SOL doubled from its lows. I caught that well, and ultimately, the cumulative return of the portfolio surpassed 150%.

The three most important lessons of this year:

**Risk always comes first.** Before opening each position, I set stop-loss orders, strictly controlling each position to within 5% of the total funds. It sounds conservative, but it’s this conservatism that helped me avoid liquidation during several major corrections. Many people fell due to greed, but I did not.

**Strategies need to be dynamically adjusted.** The spot holdings provide stability, but the market rhythm is changing. I adjust short-term positions based on on-chain data and institutional movements, switching between hot ecosystems and coins. This flexibility was especially critical in 2025.

**Mindset is everything.** Don’t be greedy in a bull market, don’t panic in a bear market—that’s as simple as it gets. In 2025, I truly understood what it means that "time is the best friend."
