Have to admit, the stock market is giving me the same vibes as the altcoin bull market from a couple of cycles ago. Making money doesn’t feel as exhausting or calculated now A couple of days ago, a crypto friend from Australia wanted to switch to trading U.S. stocks. He’s the type who doesn’t have much time to watch the market and lost quite a bit on altcoins. I told him to just try grid trading and start with strong picks, like SK Hynix or NBIS. Didn’t expect him to go in with such a big position, and he happened to catch a massive pump. Guess his luck is in Right now, it’s really hard to lead trades in altcoins—it’s way too PVP. If you can make money on your own, that’s already good enough. Yesterday, I was actually in profit with Aster, but after sleeping on it, I woke up to hit my stop-loss. Making money in altcoins feels like hell mode right now. With the stock market, you don’t even have to worry about stuff like getting dumped on. It’s just too big for that. BTW, I recently noticed that Pionex (@pionex_zh) has gotten pretty strict with risk control. If they detect your phone has been in mainland China, they’ll keep prompting you to complete KYC2. Otherwise, you can only reduce or close positions. For friends in mainland China, maybe avoid using it for now. But if you have an overseas identity, give it a shot. Grid strategies are perfect for the current choppy upward trend. Binance also has a grid tool. It’s simpler, but good enough for most people and more suitable for friends in mainland China.
