There are roughly two completely different types of players in this market.

**Type 1: People who treat digital assets as another class of financial assets**

This group’s approach is actually very simple—they don’t see themselves as speculating on coins at all. When their salary comes in, they just allocate a portion into crypto, month after month, year after year. They never look at the market trends, and even if they install the app, they don’t open it. $BTC, $ETH just sit there, like a gold mine. They don’t know if the bull market will multiply their assets, nor do they watch the bear market cut their holdings in half. They won’t share any crypto-related news in their social circles.

What’s the most ruthless part about this group? They have completely realized a fact— they simply cannot predict short-term fluctuations. Since they can’t get it right, they give up guessing altogether, and instead turn “not knowing” into their core competitive advantage. Investing three to five thousand a year consistently for ten years, their assets easily surpass ten million. One bull-bear cycle takes four years; experiencing two cycles is enough.

This is the truly replicable and most legitimate path for ordinary people. But the problem is, 99% of people can’t do it because they can’t do “nothing.”

**Type 2: People who rely on luck and rhythm to make a living**

They surf daily on various communities and Twitter, listening to someone shout MEME today, chasing AI coins tomorrow, then rushing into a new blockchain project the day after. Losing eight out of ten trades is normal, and even the two winning trades barely cover the losses. But as long as they catch a real bull market, there will be one or two times of blind guessing, buying something that multiplies a hundred times, turning a few thousand into tens of thousands or even millions.

Everyone in the crypto world has seen this kind of person. The difference lies in a single thought: those who can timely convert their coins into houses, cars, or savings are true winners; those who can’t hold their positions and keep going all-in will eventually have to give everything back to the market.

Honestly, these people are here to share the cake in the market; how much they get depends entirely on the mood of the market today.
