I've made almost $500k within a year. I don't run a bot and I don't have a financial background.

500k starting with 499k? Percentages are better for this.
I started with 5-7k. I primarily hold, sell when the price is high and then buy the dip.

I once made 30k from 400$. It's ridiculous. I bought 400$ worth of BTC a year or two ago. BTC price went up. At that point I had ~3000$. I sold BTC and bought IOTA. IOTA was pumped, I sold it for $10,000. I went all in and bought Ripple at 0.94$. They pumped the price, I was able to sell at 3$, making a whopping $30k+.

Wow. With that track record you should play the lottery.
With manual trading? Or holding the right coins?

Do you trade full time?

I don't day trade, but buy & sell from time to time. I always went all in, which is apparently a bad practice that I try to avoid now.
