I have to be honest—my current way of trading cryptocurrencies is considered incredibly stupid by people in the circle.



Not watching the charts, not using leverage, and not chasing new coins at all. Sometimes I even ignore hot coin launches.

With this "stupid method," I’ve grown my initial 5,000 USD to 42,000 USD, a full 8.4x increase.

You might not believe it, but the current situation is— the smartest people are losing money.

Most of my friends are like this: switching coins every three minutes, jumping in at the slightest sign of movement. They max out their leverage within minutes of entering, and then a small pullback wipes out their accounts. They’re not unaware of the market; in fact, they know too much. Fast hands, impatient hearts, but unfortunately, not enough resilience.

I’m the opposite—I’m straightforward. Focus on one direction and don’t tinker. Once I’m committed, I keep at it.

My method, honestly, has no technical complexity at all. It’s just three steps:

**Step 1**: Only focus on coins that are just starting to trend. Try with 5% of your total funds first—don’t rush to go all in. Avoid trash coins and don’t gamble on news-driven pumps. Be patient; only those who can wait will survive in this market.

**Step 2**: Once the market starts to stir and the trend is confirmed, use 30% to 60% of your funds to buy in the middle. I never try to bottom-fish—that’s a game for big players, and I don’t need to compete there.

**Step 3**: When a wave of the trend completes, take profits or exit. I don’t dream of hitting the daily limit or forming emotional attachments to the market. For me, the crypto world is just a cash machine—make money and walk away.

Honestly, this approach isn’t flashy at all, but it really works.

Recently, an older brother lost over 800,000 USD and was almost breaking down. He came to me and said: “Bro, I don’t want to be clever anymore. I’ll follow you.” In three months, he not only recovered his losses but also bought a new car.

Another fan, with a college diploma, started with 10,000 USD. Just through patience and position management, he pushed his account to 1.2 million USD. Now every time we meet, he says the same thing: “I wish I hadn’t been so reckless.”

At the core, the crypto market isn’t really a technical battlefield; it’s purely an emotional and positional game. Your losses aren’t because you don’t understand candlestick charts or can’t operate the system. The real reasons are these three: impatience, over-leveraging, and obsession.

After reading this, there are only two paths: either continue to lose money smartly, or learn to pretend to be stupid and make money.

Ha, this is exactly what I’ve been saying — the more you understand the market, the more you lose, really. No kidding, it all comes down to endurance; those who can’t hold on are cannon fodder. Is the 8.4x data real? Or is it just a post from some big V again? I really admire this kind of "pretend to be stupid" logic for making money, but unfortunately most people can’t learn it. You can’t rush good things, especially in the crypto world. Damn, I’ve been called out again. I’m that kind of idiot who switches coins every three minutes. Damn, why does this method feel so counterintuitive, but it seems to really work. I like the positioning of the ATM — simple and powerful.

To be honest, I think your approach is all about patience... but most people simply can't wait.

Honestly, I've seen many people make money by not messing around, but there are very few who can actually do it.

Honestly, I just do it this way. Not watching the market is really refreshing, and it's when your mindset is shattered that you make the most money.

Wait, does your method really work? I feel like it still depends on luck. Missing the bottom is the kind of regret that lasts a lifetime.
