I want to be honest with everyone—stop falling into the trap of chasing rallies and selling in panic.

I met a senior who has been in the crypto world for many years. When he first entered the market, he only had 100,000 yuan, and now his account’s market value has exceeded 42 million. During a gathering, he made a remark that still hits me hard: "Most people in this market are just a mob, following the crowd to buy and sell. As long as you can control your greed and fear, this market is like an ATM."

Looking back at the money I’ve truly made in the crypto space over the past few years, it’s mainly based on a few seemingly "stupid" but very practical strategies:

**First Trick: Don’t chase small gains, don’t lose big**

Many people are stuck in a vicious cycle—either too greedy and get caught deep, or too conservative and miss out. When a coin rises 5%, they can’t sit still and want to sell, only for the market to double; or they stubbornly hold on and end up giving all the profits back. This back-and-forth has lasted for years.

**Second Trick: Only choose mainstream coins that have dropped through the floor**

I never touch new coins, nor do I like to chase after blood on the knife’s edge. When top coins fall to levels no one dares to buy and the sentiment is all bearish, I only then dare to put a small position as a bottom-fishing move. It looks simple, but it minimizes risk.

**Third Trick: Add to positions only after confirming an uptrend**

I don’t expect to catch the absolute bottom. Buying a little higher isn’t a big deal—better than being caught in the middle of a dip. Once the trend clearly shows signs of upward movement, I slowly add on dips, stacking step by step.

**Fourth Trick: Lock in profits in stages**

Every time the market rises, I first take out my principal plus half of the profits. The remaining position can be tossed around as the market fluctuates—what I’ve already secured is safely in my account. Last year, a buddy lost over 600,000 yuan, but by following this method, he not only recovered his losses in half a year but also bought a new car.

Honestly speaking: the crypto world isn’t short of smart people; what’s lacking are those who can hold their nerve and endure. When everyone is blindly chasing rallies and selling in panic, if you can stay disciplined and follow the trend, you often end up picking up the money others drop.

All my operations are real trades. For friends who want to avoid detours and make steady money in crypto, stop wandering in the dark alone.
