A crypto investor shared his key insights from spending more than 10,000 hours in the cryptocurrency space and offered a roadmap for both novice and seasoned traders to navigate the volatile markets.
What Happened: Dan, who by his own account turned $5,000 into millions, emphasizes that counter-trading leverage traders is one of the most profitable strategies in crypto. He explains, "Leverage traders lose billions and billions of dollars every single year, and it’s very transparent and easy to identify why and when these people are losing money."
By analyzing data on liquidations, funding rates and open interest, Dan has developed algorithms to capitalize on these opportunities. The investor warns against the pitfall of hindsight bias, urging traders to focus on strategy execution rather than dwelling on missed opportunities.
"Looking in hindsight after a decision has been made and saying, ‘I should have done this’ isn’t going to improve you as an investor," Dan points out.

Unlike the stock market, where time in the market often trumps timing, Dan stresses that crypto requires a delicate balance of both. He notes, "In crypto, you need to be both really good at timing and you also need to be getting time in the market."
This is particularly crucial for altcoins, which rarely surpass their all-time highs in subsequent bull runs. Technical analysts have suggested that altcoins will continue to bleed against Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for the time being, with many like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and even Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) failing to reach their 2021 all-time highs thus far.
Dan likens the crypto ecosystem to a hierarchical game, where insiders and early adopters have significant advantages. He reveals, "The way that I view crypto after 10,000 hours is I really feel like it’s just the world’s largest massively multiplayer online game."
Finally, Dan concludes that in crypto, "Everyone gets what they deserve." He encourages investors to align their actions with their goals, whether that’s becoming a billionaire or simply having fun with trading.
