Crypto beginners always like to ask "How to get rich quickly," but I want to tell a different story.



I've seen too many people messing around in the market—watching K-lines daily, frequently switching targets, going all-in with leverage. And the result? Newbies get chopped up one after another. But I’m the opposite: I don’t look at technicals, don’t play with leverage, don’t chase hot trends, and I’m too lazy to touch new coins.

It may look "silly," right? But the result of doing this is that an initial 3,000U grows stubbornly to 24,000U. No luck involved, all depends on time and discipline.

**Why "smart" strategies are more prone to blowups**

What about those traders who switch coins every three minutes? Jump in on good news, cut losses on dips, go all-in… This is called frequent trading. What’s the essence of frequent trading? Lack of psychological control, being led by market emotions. The ones who lose the most in the end are often those who think they’re the best at trading.

**What method do I use**

It boils down to three steps, but each step hits a psychological barrier:

**Step 1: Low-position lurking, only follow the big trend**

Find targets that have already shown initial signs but haven’t exploded yet, invest no more than 3% of total funds. This isn’t gambling, it’s purely a probability game. No junk coins, no chasing news, just patiently wait for the structure to form. This process can be long, but it’s a necessary cost to filter truly potential targets.

**Step 2: Once the trend is clear, add positions in stages**

When market volume increases and key resistance levels are effectively broken, cautiously add to positions with previous profits. Control the addition between 20%-50%, never bottom-fish. Why? Because the bottom is always a hunter’s playground, retail investors bottom-fishing is just giving away money.

**Step 3: Take profits in batches, don’t dream of continuous upward streaks**

When a cycle ends, profits must be taken gradually. This isn’t conservatism but a necessary risk hedge. Crypto is fundamentally a financial market—there are big swings and systemic risks. True gains are the part you actually withdraw to your wallet.

**Validation of this methodology in practice**

I have a friend who lost over 400,000 yuan, and he was numb. Later, following this approach, not only did he recover his losses in three months, but he also bought an electric scooter with his spare money—that’s real turnaround. Another college student started with 200 yuan, and through strict position management and patience, grew it to 6,000 in three months.

These aren’t luck—they’re methods.

**Where’s the root of the problem**

Most people lose money not because of poor analysis, but because of mindset. Impatience, full-position trading, stubbornness—these are the real killers. You think you’re actively trading, but in fact, the market is trading you.

At this stage, Bitcoin is expected to challenge new highs, and the Ethereum ecosystem is also recovering. But don’t get blinded by these signals. Stick to low-position layouts of potential targets, wait for trend confirmation before participating in stages, and finally take profits gradually. This rhythm may seem "dumb," but it’s the only way to survive long-term and keep earning.

You can either keep "smartly" losing money, or, like us, use seemingly clumsy but effective methods to steadily accumulate. We’ve all walked this path, and the light is still shining for those who come after. Whether you can hold on depends on whether you’re willing to first be a "fool."

It sounds very reasonable, but how many people can actually stick to not looking at K-line charts for three months? Saying it is easier than doing it.

If only I hadn't been obsessively checking the candlestick charts every day back then, I wouldn't have ended up losing so badly now.

3000 bucks can grow to 24,000, that's really amazing. I need to think about whether I've been "smartly" losing money all along...
