Everyone who gets into the crypto world has the same goal: to make money.
But most people get lost along the way.
They jump from coin to coin, buying because they “saw it on TikTok,” selling because “someone said it’s going to drop”… and in the end, they either make nothing or end up losing.
Over time, I realized there are three main ways to actually profit from crypto.
And they work if you understand how to use each one the right way.
In this post, I’ll show you how I use all three methods in my daily routine:
- Hold – Buy solid assets and keep them for years.
- Trade – Take advantage of market movements to make profits.
- Airdrops – Get free coins just for being early in promising projects.
You don’t have to choose just one. You can mix them.
But what really matters is understanding what you’re doing not just following the crowd.
If you’re just starting out, or if you’ve been in the market but still feel lost, this post is for you. I’ll break it down in a simple way, with real examples, showing what’s helped me win in this market for years.
1. HOLD – Buy and Hold with Patience
In the crypto market, this means buying a coin with solid potential and holding it for years, no matter if the price goes up or down in the short term.
Why does this work?
The crypto market is cyclical. It goes through phases of insane bull runs followed by sharp crashes.
These are called market cycles, and understanding them is key to knowing when to buy and when to take profits.
Soon, I’ll post a full article explaining market cycles, how they work, and how you can use them to your advantage. Stay tuned!
If you buy a strong asset and have the patience to wait through the cycles, the chances of profit are high.
Real example:
If someone had bought $1,000 worth of Ethereum at the beginning of 2017 and held it until the end of 2021, they’d have over $100,000.
But those who panic sold early or tried trading constantly… probably lost money.
My personal take
HOLDing is the most peaceful strategy. You buy, hold, and live your life.
But be careful: not every coin is worth holding for years.
I only do this with very solid projects, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or others with strong fundamentals and a proven track record of growth.
Even then, I never go all in on one coin. I build a diversified portfolio, review it each cycle, and stay clear that profit comes with time not anxiety.
2. TRADE – Shorter-Term Moves with More Control
While HOLDing requires patience, trading requires skill, discipline, and a bit more of your time.
Here, the goal is to buy and sell cryptocurrencies over shorter periods, taking advantage of market swings to make a profit.
Types of trading:
- Day Trading: Buy and sell within the same day.
- Swing Trading: Hold positions for days or weeks.
- Scalping: Quick trades that last just a few minutes.
Why does this work?
The crypto market is volatile. Prices move up and down all the time.
With the right knowledge, you can profit from these small price swings without waiting years like in HOLDing.
But… a word of caution:
A lot of people lose money because they start trading without knowing what they’re doing.
You need to understand indicators, chart analysis, price action and most importantly, learn to control your emotions.
A personal secret: I use trading bots
One of the biggest challenges for new traders is emotional control: fear of losing, greed, anxiety…
That’s why I use automated trading bots that follow well-defined strategies, with zero emotion.
In the future, I’ll show you exactly how they work and even release a free bot for you to test.
Just so you know: one of the things that sets my approach apart is showing people how to trade with discipline, automate strategies, and stay in control even in unpredictable markets.
Simple example:
Let’s say Bitcoin drops 5% in a day, then jumps 7% the next.
A skilled trader can profit twice: buying the dip and selling the bounce.
But someone without a plan might panic and lose both times.
My personal take
Trading gives me more control and predictability.
I know where I want to enter, where I’ll exit, and how much I’m willing to risk.
But this only works if I stick to the plan and that’s exactly why I’ve automated most of the process.
3. AIRDROPS – Free Crypto? Yes, and with Real Potential
If you’re not familiar yet, airdrops are free token distributions done by crypto projects usually as a form of marketing, as a reward for testing, or to encourage adoption.
Why do projects do this?
- To promote their token and grow their user base
- To reward people who helped test or spread the word
- To attract liquidity and kickstart engagement
- And the best part? Anyone can join
How does it work in practice?
You usually complete small tasks like:
- Creating a compatible wallet
- Following the project on social media
- Interacting with a platform (using a DEX, making swaps, etc.)
- Completing tasks on platforms like Galxe or Zealy
- Then you wait for the project to launch its token and check if you’re eligible
Real example:
Back in 2020, anyone who interacted with Uniswap a decentralized exchange received 400 UNI tokens for free.
At the time, that was worth around $1,200.
And some people did this with multiple wallets… 👀
Why do I talk so much about airdrops?
Because this is the only part of the crypto market where you can start literally with zero money and still earn meaningful profits consistently, if you know where to step.
That’s why on my website, you’ll find:
✅ Step-by-step guides for beginners
✅ A list of promising airdrops
✅ Honest reviews on what’s worth your time (and what’s not)
My personal take
Airdrops are an entry point for a lot of people especially those who don’t have money to invest right now.
With some dedication and smart strategy, it’s possible to build capital, and later use that in HOLDing or trading.
That’s the idea: to create a full growth cycle in the crypto world.
Conclusion
There’s no magic formula but there is strategy, consistency, and learning.
Holding, trading, and airdrops aren’t easy paths, but they’re real ones.
And if you understand how each one works, you can build a solid journey in the crypto market with less risk and smarter decisions.
And the best part? You’re not alone.
Here on the site, my goal is to share exactly what I use, what I learn, and what I believe in. No fluff, no fake promises.
