1. Only Buy in Bear Markets

• Be patient. Try to buy when the bear market is at its lowest point, although it’s nearly impossible to catch the true bottom. The right moment? When no one is talking about crypto and everything feels dead. This phase can last more than a year, so spread out your purchases

2. Focus on the Main Coins

• BTC & ETH: These giants will always lead, so they are the safest bets. Expect solid 50%+ returns by holding through the cycle.

• Top Platform Coins: Consider BNB for its strong ecosystem, or reliable chains like SOL and AVAX.

• Key Infrastructure Coins: MATIC and similar projects have also held up well over time.

• Strong Community Coins: Established tokens like DOGE, SHIB, PEPE can show surprising gains.

• Avoid betting heavily on meme coins. They are created to attract buyers, only to disappear in the next cycle.

3. Sell in the Middle of a Bull Market

• Bull rallies usually happen in phases. BTC leads, ETH follows, then major alts surge, and finally, meme coins explode. As soon as your profits reach a satisfactory level, sell and wait for the market to reset. Don’t wait until the end or get caught up in the first big pullback—that’s a sign that the bull rally is fading.

4. Avoid in Bull Market

• When alts are flying high, it’s easy to chase big gains. But remember: most of these coins exist to ride the hype, and they often disappear. If you can’t help yourself, limit your investments – treat it as entertainment, not as a primary strategy.

5. Be Patient & Don't Be Greedy

• Buy in a bear market, wait for a bull market. This sounds simple, but it’s hard when you see volatility along the way. Once you’re sold, resist the urge to “time” the market with short-term trades or buy on dips too early.
