Having navigated the crypto world for these years, I’ve discovered an interesting phenomenon— the more complex the trading system, the faster the losses.



My own experience is the best example. Initially, I had no intention of relying on sophisticated technical analysis, avoiding candlestick charts, leverage trading, and similar tools. I paid little attention to various news and information about different coins, focusing solely on one thing: what is the market doing.

And the result? Starting with an initial capital of 3,000 USD, I managed to grow it to 19,000 USD. A sixfold increase.

It sounds like a lucky story, but behind it, there are actually three simple operational principles.

**Step 1: Select targets carefully, accumulate small positions**

Find a coin that is just beginning to trend, like $FXS, and use 3% of your total funds as a base position to test the waters. Don’t be greedy; that’s enough. Then do nothing else, just wait for the market to establish its rhythm. The key here is: don’t touch coins that are obviously trash projects, and don’t try to guess short-term rises and falls. It may sound foolish, but this "foolishness" buys you reaction time for subsequent actions.

**Step 2: Wait for confirmation signals, follow in batches**

When the market clearly starts to trend and the trend is confirmed, begin adding positions. Each time, increase your position by 20%-50%. Many people make the mistake of trying to bottom-fish—wait, the bottom is prepared for the big players, not retail investors. I only act after confirming the trend, making risk more controllable and returns more stable. Ride the momentum upward; the strong get stronger.

**Step 3: Set clear take-profit and stop-loss points, withdraw profits promptly**

After each cycle, it’s time to exit. Predefine your take-profit and stop-loss levels. Don’t go crazy with the market; don’t chase the last bit of profit. Take your gains and walk away—only then can you preserve your results.

This method sounds very ordinary, even a bit "silly." But look around—you’ll understand. How do the smart traders do it? Change coins every three minutes, jump in at every trend, and end up blowing up their accounts as often as they eat. They are indeed clever, but when it comes to losing money, they are also really good at it.

A friend of mine proved the power of this approach. He initially lost over 400,000 yuan, but after seriously following these steps, he recovered his capital in less than three months and even made enough to buy a Tesla. It’s not some myth; it’s the result of patience and execution.

The key is that when everyone is chasing highs and lows, frequently switching coins, the real profits go to those who hold steady and have patience. This isn’t about talent; it’s about discipline.

The crypto market is currently in a rebound phase, and many people are starting to get restless again. Instead of frequent trading, think about whether you want to continue losing money with high IQ, or calmly follow the trend. Opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing is execution. Be decisive and steady—this is the secret to long-term survival in the crypto world.

There's nothing wrong with that, but too many people can't listen. Watching others double their money in a day makes your mindset explode; greed is the most deadly thing.

Well said, that's exactly what I've been doing. Simplicity and straightforwardness are the key, and those who watch K-lines every day tend to die the fastest.

Well said, but too many people just won't listen. They're still leveraging and getting liquidated, ending up losing everything, even their pants.

That's right, greed kills people. I used to be the kind of person who traded coins every day, and as a result, I suffered heavy losses. Now I truly understand that simplicity is the key. Holding steady without selling actually earns the most, and the irony is right here. Discipline > intelligence, this statement hits hard. The dream of bottom-fishing is really sweet, but the rapid liquidation is also very ruthless. This is the principle: only those with patience can survive in the crypto world until the end.

ngl, the whole "simplicity wins" angle checks out but let me flag something here — that 3% initial allocation? that's literally textbook risk management they're glossing over. most people won't execute it properly anyway, which is the real vulnerability in this narrative.
