Having experienced nine years of trial and error in the crypto, I've found that there are only three ways to make big money: When trading spot, dollar-cost averaging during Bitcoin's bear market consolidation and selling in batches at the top of a bull market; and avoiding altcoins. When trading futures, I only leverage my positions during extreme one-sided market movements; otherwise, I simply trade MEME (Medium-term Equity). For ordinary retail investors like us, there are really only three ways to make big money through crypto trading: only chase hot topics during periods of ample liquidity and target leading stocks.
