#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 "Coin Hoarding for ten years is not as good as rollover for ten days" - I initially took this sentence as a joke.



But after experiencing it personally, I realized that I had misunderstood. The problem is not with the sentence itself, but rather that 90% of people play it the wrong way.

My experience of rolling 10,000 U to 100,000 U in half a year completely changed my understanding of trading. But to be honest, I've never relied on predicting market trends to make a living, nor am I the type to stare at charts all day or go all-in aggressively. What I rely on is actually quite simple—one word: "lazy".

Too lazy to operate frequently, too lazy to chase hot coins, and even lazier to gamble on the fantasy of "taking off with one shot."

The true meaning of rollover is far from the image in your mind: high leverage, heavy positions, and fast hands. That kind of play is called gambling with your life, not rollover.

I set three iron rules for myself:

The first rule is to maintain a light position. Each trade should only use a small percentage of the funds—this way, if it goes wrong, it won't significantly impact the principal. The second rule is to only roll over real profits. I never use unrealized gains as principal; the account only compounds with profits, while the principal stays safe in the vault. The third rule is not to overtrade—if the market is unclear, I resolutely stay out of the market; I would rather miss an opportunity than make reckless trades.

At first, people laughed at me saying that this way of playing was "slow as hell". But then something miraculous happened.

The account curve no longer fluctuates wildly like a roller coaster, but instead rises steadily like a set of steps. Over the past six months, although there hasn't been a particularly exciting day that made my heart race, looking back at the account now, 10,000 U has turned into 100,000 U. $BTC $ETH $ZEC was involved in this process.

At that moment, I finally understood: rollover is not about courage and luck, but about restraint—restraint from the temptation to operate, restraint from the impulse to leverage, and restraint from the desire to be fully invested.

Sure, it sounds like a story about low-frequency small amount compound interest, but the problem is that most people just can't sit still.

That's quite right, but I still think most people can't stick to this "lazy" strategy at all... It's the mindset that is the hardest part.

Well said, restraint is the key. I have fallen into the trap of frequent trading, and I end up losing quickly by constantly messing around. I am also practicing this logic of Light Position, Short Position, and only rolling profits; it is indeed not so exciting but stable.

Hmm... so it’s laziness that earns money? I need to think about this logic.

It sounds like normal risk management, but looking at those guys in the group who are in Full Position and Get Liquidated, it seems that this "three iron rules" is the real scarce commodity.

Lazy investment is indeed OP, but most people just can't sit still. --- You're right, it's all about restraint. But the friends with coins around me are more restless than one another. --- I agree with this idea; a light position with compound interest is the way to go. --- A tenfold increase in half a year sounds great, but the key is to have solid psychological preparation. --- So the question is, can those days of holding a short position really withstand FOMO? --- Let me also try three iron rules, since I'm not making money with a full position anyway. --- Isn't this just an upgraded version of stop loss + risk management? But it sounds so ordinary that no one believes it.
