The Truth About Survival in the Crypto World: 98% of the Time is Waiting, 2% Decides Life or Death

Brothers, I am Brother Niu. After years of navigating the crypto space, I’ve realized a harsh truth: 98% of the market time is garbage time, and only that 2% of golden moments truly determine the fate of your account.
Traditional crypto cycles are based on four-year periods; within the 48 months, the window to get rich quickly is actually only about two months. Now, the cycle is accelerating, and the opportunity window is shrinking to weeks or even days. Missing that crucial 7-day market move means your current bull run is basically wasted.
Why do most people fail to make money?
Because they fall into the effort trap. Staring at charts day and night, gathering news everywhere, trading frequently, thinking that the more they put in, the greater the returns. It’s like construction workers on a site—working the hardest but earning the least. In the crypto world, diligence and profit are never directly proportional.
The Core Secret of Trading Experts
Look at those trading masters; their profitable moments are actually very short. Liang Xi makes money from BTC plummeting in those few days, and Jiu Shen gets rich from holding coins during the last two months of a bull market. Their common trait is: when key market movements happen, they dare to hold heavy positions and bet big. The difference between ordinary traders and experts lies in that courage when opportunity strikes.
How to cultivate this courage?
There are no shortcuts—just practice more and succeed a few times. Build your own trading logic and confidence, just like the oil seller said, “Nothing else, just familiarity with the hands.” After experiencing a few complete cycles and witnessing major market moves, you’ll naturally know when to take action.
