A friend asked me what my investment secret is. I smiled and said that revealing it might be disappointing—it's just the most basic approach in the industry.

Not watching charts constantly, not leveraging, not chasing hot trends, and basically ignoring new coins. This seemingly simple strategy has allowed me to turn 3,000 USDT into 24,000, an 8x increase.

Many people around me expressed doubt after hearing this, which is normal. Because the reality is, smart people are efficiently losing money. Among the investors I know, many switch coins every three minutes. They see good news and rush in, go all-in with leverage, and then when the market slightly adjusts, their accounts are wiped out. It’s not that they lack knowledge; quite the opposite, knowing too much can make you quick and impulsive.

My characteristic is being straightforward. Once I choose a direction, I don’t tinker; I stick to the logic I believe in.

Honestly, the method itself isn’t complicated; it has just three steps:

**Step 1: Build a Bottom Position**

Find coins that are just starting to trend, and initially invest about 3% of your funds to test the waters. At this stage, avoid altcoins and don’t be swayed by various news. Be patient—only those who can wait will make money.

**Step 2: Follow in Batches**

When the market starts gaining heat and the trend becomes clearer, use the remaining 20% to 50% of your funds to participate in the mid-stage trend. Note, I never chase the bottom opportunities—that’s a game for big funds, not for me.

**Step 3: Exit Completely**

When a wave of the trend has fully played out, clear your positions—sell off or withdraw as needed. I don’t dream of catching the top or market sentiment; to me, crypto is just a tool—an asset withdrawal tool.

This approach may sound dull and lacking technical complexity, but it really works. I have a friend who lost over 400,000 yuan and was almost mentally broken. He came to me and said he didn’t want to make things so complicated—just do what I do. Three months later, he not only recovered all his losses but also bought himself a Tesla.

Many people haven’t understood a fundamental point: crypto trading isn’t about testing your technical skills; it’s about mindset and position management. Your failures aren’t because you can’t read charts or operate properly, but because you’re too impatient, over-leveraged, and stubborn in your thinking.

Someone asked if this logic applies to everyone. Not necessarily. But if you’re still holding positions and getting liquidated repeatedly in crypto, it’s definitely worth trying a different approach. Either keep losing money smartly or learn to “play dumb” and actually make your real money back.
