Having been in the crypto world for 8 years, at 39 years old, the most common question I hear is: "Did you make money or not?"



To be straightforward—during the 2021 to 2023 market cycle, my account balance steadily grew into the 8-figure range. Now, staying in a hotel that costs 2000 per night feels much more comfortable compared to peers who are in traditional industries or running online stores.

Some people are desperately asking for my secret. Honestly, it’s not really about talent, and luck isn’t as important as you might think. It’s about following a method that sounds incredibly old-fashioned—The 253 Batch Building Strategy.

Don’t underestimate this approach; it’s what helped me generate over 20 million in profits. If beginners honestly follow it, they can avoid at least 3 years of detours.

Take BTC as an example. Suppose you have a 100,000 yuan principal, and you can start trading in three phases.

**Phase 1: "20% Exploration"**: Take out 20,000 yuan to test the waters with a small position. What’s the benefit of a light position? No matter how the market swings, your mind stays calm. I’ve seen too many beginners go all-in right away, get excited after a 2% rise and add more, then panic and cut losses after a 3% drop. The purpose of this step is to completely eliminate that gambler’s mentality.

**Phase 2: "50% Gradual Supplement"**: Don’t rush the remaining 50,000 yuan; learn to wait. When the market rises, sit tight and wait for a pullback; when it falls, add to your position gradually—every 8% drop, add 10%. What’s the benefit? No matter how the market jumps around, your average cost stays balanced, and you won’t get trapped at a single high point.

**Phase 3: "30% Finalization"**: Once the trend stabilizes—for example, BTC breaks through a key level and doesn’t fall back—invest the remaining 30,000 yuan. The entire building process is calm and steady, much more reliable than rushing to get in.

Recently, the market has been volatile again, and there are endless stories of beginners getting wiped out chasing highs and selling lows. In reality, the real challenge in crypto isn’t about making perfect predictions but about self-control. Being able to resist greed when fully invested and fear during downturns. My good days aren’t because of luck, but because this "dumb method" repeatedly helps me avoid pitfalls.

Beginners might think this method is slow, but the only truly profitable way is one that can be practically executed without crashing. Most people are stuck in a vicious cycle—not because they lack effort, but because they lack a clear strategy. The market is always there, opportunities never stop. Follow this logic, and you’ll eventually make it out.

Sounds good, but it will take some effort to implement.

That's right, self-discipline is the real skill in making money. Human greed is half the battle lost. The 253 rule may sound silly, but it's actually a moat to prevent yourself from flipping over. I'm also using this method, and it really feels much more comfortable than chasing highs and selling lows. The most common mistake beginners make is wanting to get rich overnight, but instead they end up losing everything overnight. Gradually building a position can really save your life; all my friends who got wiped out were all-in and went all-in at once. This article hits the point; in the crypto world, it's all about execution and patience.

Ultimately, self-control is the hardest thing. I see so many people around me fail because of greed.

Basically, it's a mindset issue; greed kills people.
