Must-Read for Newcomers: In-Depth Analysis of 7 Major Profit Models in the Crypto Space#

As a new explorer in the blockchain investment field, you may feel confused about how to achieve asset appreciation. This article will systematically outline seven mainstream profit strategies to help you build a clear digital asset investment framework. From high-frequency trading to value storage, from liquidity mining to ecological arbitrage, there is always a method that suits your risk preference.

1. Short-Term Trading: Grasping Volatility Rhythm to Build a Trading System#

Digital asset trading fundamentally differs from the securities market, with its 7×24 hour trading mechanism and high volatility creating unique opportunities for short-term operations. Successful traders need to establish an operational system that includes the following elements:

Technical Analysis: Mastering candlestick patterns and the relationship between volume and price
Position Management: Using pyramid scaling up/down strategies
Emotion Control: Setting a profit and loss line of 5%-10%

In the illustrated APT/PEPE trading case, by accurately grasping buy/sell points (B/S markers), a daily profit of 200-500 USDT can be achieved. Advanced traders can try grid trading bots, with parameter examples set as follows:

# Basic parameters for grid trading
price_range = [0.85, 1.15]  # Price fluctuation range
grid_levels = 20            # Grid levels
investment = 1000           # Investment amount (USD)

2. Value Storage: The Wealth Code Across Bull and Bear Cycles#

The art of storing digital gold requires three core capabilities:

Asset Selection: Focus on the top 50 mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization
Cost Control: Use a dollar-cost averaging investment method (invest a fixed amount monthly)
Asset Security: Follow the principle of "no more than 10% of total assets in hot wallets"

Recommended storage solutions comparison:
