Thousands of people enter the crypto world dreaming of overnight riches, but most end up as market liquidity. But can small funds really grow big? Yes—they just rely less on technology and more on timing and self-control. Simply put, it’s about daring to operate against the majority of the market.

**Initial Stage of the Bull Market: Hold and Watch BTC**

When the bull market just starts, funds primarily flow into Bitcoin, and altcoins are more likely to be drained. The easiest trap to fall into at this stage is "itchy hands." Don’t be fooled by the daily gains of altcoins; most of those are bait. The real strategy is to concentrate your position in BTC, using dollar-cost averaging or phased purchases to spread out the cost—buy regardless of price fluctuations. It sounds boring, but the data speaks—80% of the entire bull market is sideways movement, with only 20% being the main upward wave. Those who switch coins recklessly early on usually end up losing. Take 2024 as an example: BTC surged from $25,000 to $67,000, while AI and MEME concepts were hot. Those who stuck with BTC laughed last.

**Once the Trend Becomes Clear: Gradually Shift to ETH and Hot Sectors**

After BTC breaks through previous highs and stabilizes, market sentiment truly ignites—this is when altcoins shine. The strategy is to gradually shift your holdings—first into ETH (the leading public chain), then target hot sectors like AI, L2, and the BTC ecosystem with real momentum. The core of profit-taking is to first withdraw the principal, then use the remaining profits to chase higher returns. This way, even if you suffer losses later, they are limited.

The last iron law: if you see a coin double in one day and go all-in, it’s FOMO-driven—market makers love such bagholders.
