#数字资产市场动态 You may have heard this saying—crypto is either about making big money or losing everything overnight.
But I want to tell you, I used a set of methods that sound a bit silly and look a bit old-fashioned, yet over the past few years, I’ve steadily accumulated nearly 100 ETH.
How simple is this method? So simple that even I find it funny.
When I first entered the crypto world, I really didn’t understand anything. Candlestick charts? Ignored. Various indicators? Too lazy to learn. Daily news and information? Gave up halfway through.
That’s how I entered the market somewhat blindly.
Later, I realized that the only thing I stuck to was following the trend. No predictions, no pretending to be a genius—just waiting for the trend to appear and then jumping on it.
And the result? Starting with 3,000 yuan, I managed to grow it to 35,000 yuan. More than ten times the initial amount.
Meanwhile, those who spent all day staring at analysis tools, drawing lines and charts until their eyes hurt, by the end of the year, when they tallied up their earnings, hadn’t made much. But this "fool" who knew nothing managed to hold onto the profits steadily.
Later, I started to analyze why I could make money and found that it all boiled down to three very simple, even a bit boring, rules:
**First: When the trend just starts, invest 3% of your capital as a base position.**
The key here is—don’t try to catch the bottom. Trying to buy at the lowest point is like gambling on whether it can go even lower. I never do that. I wait for the trend to show itself, then gently get on board. Only focus on mainstream coins; those small coins I don’t know about, I stay away from.
Sounds silly, right? Just follow this "silly" approach.
**Second: Once the market is clearly moving upward, add to your position in stages, each time increasing by 20%-50%.**
While others are debating where the bottom is or whether to keep buying, I don’t participate in those discussions. I just look at the facts—if the trend is really emerging, then I add some more.
This approach may seem "slow" and unresponsive, but it’s this "slowness" that allows me to hold steady and keep my position for a long time.
**Third: Take profits when your target is reached. Discipline always comes first.**
Set your take-profit and stop-loss prices in advance, and don’t change your mind on the fly. While others are still hoping for the next wave, I’ve already stepped back and started to relax.
Is this approach reliable?
I have a friend who learned from me and previously lost over 400,000 USDT in trading. That period crushed him; I was worried he might do something drastic.
Later, he decided to start over, following my method step by step. No greed, no chasing quick gains—just steadily following the trend.
In less than three months, he not only recovered his losses but also started earning consistent profits.
He later told me, "Your method is really stupid, but it actually makes money."
Why do so many people in the crypto space end up losing money?
I think the main reason is—being too smart.
They switch between seven or eight different coins every day, chasing the ones that are rising fastest, only to get caught in a trap. They set stop-losses but when the price drops, they can’t bear to sell. They keep thinking they can buy even lower, but end up repeatedly making mistakes.
Those who can make money long-term are often the ones whose approach looks slow, seems a bit foolish, and is very cautious.
So foolish that some might mock them, but they earn enough to make others jealous.
Now, you have two choices: continue losing money in your "smart" approach, or switch to a "foolish" method and earn steadily.
The path is right there—your choice.
