The Calm Investment Lesson Amidst the Turbulent Crypto Market

The cryptocurrency world has never lacked stories of “Quick Gains, Quick Wins”: users leveraging into rumors, others staying up all night glued to charts, and some getting stuck chasing hot “meme coins.” But amidst the noisy crowd, there is a completely different path—slow, disciplined, and persistent—proven by the story of Mr. Kien, a 58-year-old retired teacher. A Style of Investment Like Going to Class For six years, Mr. Kien avoided derivatives contracts, didn’t believe in rumors or “hot tips.” He also paid no mind to new coins. Instead, he applied a simple method of careful note-taking in his lesson plan notebook—enough to turn 100,000 in retirement funds into over 38 million. His life still follows the routines of a teacher: every morning brewing a cup of chamomile tea, wearing glasses to read, quietly analyzing candlestick charts. His notebook is filled with red circles and green lines. Outside, he carries an old leather bag—few know he owns 5 apartments: one for himself, one for his child’s wedding house, and three for rent, with monthly rental income higher than his pension. Four Principles of “Market Diagnosis” Mr. Kien often says: “Viewing the market is like diagnosing an illness—you can’t just look at the surface.” His approach revolves around four core principles: Observe Before Acting When prices rise sharply then slowly decline, he circles it in his notebook and calls it “big money quietly preparing.” According to him, this signal is more reliable than any guaranteed winning tip. Recognize When Money Is Leaving After a strong drop followed by a weak rebound, he marks it in red: “Money is withdrawing, don’t be stubborn.” He has seen too many newcomers lose because they panic buy the dip. Identify the Critical Point At high levels, if volume increases, he remains calm: “It might just be the beginning.” But if volume decreases at the top, he is cautious: “This is a sign of a layer of support breaking.” Double Caution at the Bottom He dismisses isolated rebounds after a big crash: “Like last-minute cramming—ignore it.” Only when the “continuous hand-raising” (sustainable accumulation) of money occurs does he consider participating. Lessons for Modern Investors Mr. Kien’s story reminds us that sustainable profits do not come from luck but from discipline, observation, and patience. Amidst the noise of the market, sometimes the best strategy is to step back, take notes, wait for confirmation—and only act when signals truly align. In crypto, survival is already a victory. And as the old teacher does every day, let calmness lead the way—chamomile tea, a notebook, and decisions made without haste.
