Many people enter the market wanting to trade contracts and leverage, hoping to turn a single position around, only to get liquidated in no time. Actually, there's no need to gamble like that. Instead of chasing those newly skyrocketing coins, it's better to focus on mainstream coins with high liquidity and top ten market capitalization. Take BTC, ETH, and SOL for example—while their volatility isn't as extreme, they are much more stable. Here's a different approach: with a capital of 100,000, focus on spot trading, capturing a 40% fluctuation each month, and you could earn 600,000 in a year. Sounds more practical, right? For ordinary investors, this kind of return is already sufficient. The problem is that most people haven't calculated this properly, always dreaming of getting rich overnight, but end up losing their principal instead.

BTC-0.56%

ETH-0.57%

SOL0.64%

Listening and I started to laugh, 60% annualized return, right? --- 100,000 trading to 600,000? I haven't even calculated that. --- Talking about spot trading again, is it really that simple in reality? --- Mainstream coins are stable? Why do I still get trapped? --- That's right, it's human nature to be greedy, there's nothing we can do. --- Why didn't I catch the 40% Celsius degree fluctuation? --- Mainly it's a mindset issue, I agree with that. --- Spot trading is indeed much more reliable than leverage, at least I can sleep peacefully. --- Hearing about 600,000 a year is just for fun; if you can actually operate and make half of that, it's already good.

Honestly, the spot steady approach is indeed underestimated. That's right, most people are just greedy. 40% volatility per month? That sounds a bit outrageous. This is the proper way to play, but unfortunately no one listens. Those getting liquidated are the ones trying to turn things around overnight, they deserve it. BTC and ETH are the fundamentals, everything else is gambling. A hundred thousand earning six hundred thousand in a year? How is the math calculated? Mainstream coins aren't that exciting, but staying alive is the key. Stories of leverage liquidation are tired, spot trading is the real king. Futures are just a tax on IQ, those who stick to spot trading win.

That's correct, but is earning 60% annually really that easy?

Spot trading is the real king; don't always think about leveraging to turn things around. --- I've heard too many stories of contract liquidations; it's better to just hold mainstream coins. --- 60K sounds great, but the problem is most people can't execute it, and their mindset collapses. --- Exactly, everyone wants to get rich overnight, no one wants to earn steady money. --- This logic is sound, the key is persistence, but most people simply can't stick with it. --- Mainstream coins are indeed stable, but don't tell me no one is still chasing altcoins. --- 40% volatility per month? Sounds simple, but in practice, it's all tears. --- Why are so many people still playing contracts? I really can't understand. --- I've seen too many cases where principal is lost; it's so tragic. --- The liquidity of SOL and ETH is indeed top-notch, but their gains are just average.

Honestly, earning 600,000 a year sounds great, but in practice, it's a whole different story. Spot trading is stable, but you have to resist the temptation. Futures contracts are really just a harvest machine for leeks; I've seen too many people fall for it.

Honestly, contracts are really a big trap. 600,000 a year doesn't sound realistic either. BTC is stable, but it can still fall. Spot traders definitely live longer than margin traders who get liquidated. Mainstream coins with good liquidity are more reliable. I've seen too many people with dreams of turning things around get liquidated. 40% volatility? It depends on the market conditions. Turning 100,000 into 600,000 is just a hearsay. Stable returns sound less exciting than leveraged gains.

That's right, contracts are just machines for harvesting retail investors. There are always more liquidations than sudden wealth, brother. Mainstream coins are stable, but it's just too boring. 60,000 a year sounds easy, but how many can stick with it? Most people simply can't change their desire for quick riches.
