Discipline is more important than prediction, execution is greater than analysis
People around me constantly ask me, 'To trade cryptocurrencies, you need to look at K-line, understand MACD, and be able to analyze,' but I don't know any of that. Watching my brothers and sisters follow my 'foolish operations,' some have started trading cryptocurrencies full-time, and some have changed cars and houses. I increasingly believe: the cryptocurrency world does not reward smart people, only 'fools' who adhere to discipline.
Look at my account records, this is the best proof:
At the beginning of June, it started from 2100U, reached 85 million U on June 21, fell back to 21,000 U on July 5, and surged to 45,000 U again on July 18. During this period, I only withdrew once; the rest was all profits running.
My 'three stupid principles' make smart people shake their heads.
First stupidity: hold without fidgeting, only move 30% of the position.
Don’t panic when it drops, don’t care when it consolidates, only lock in part of the profits when it rises, and continue to compound the rest. I don’t do trading (T) or add positions; I let the trend exert its power.
Many people get an itch to trade frequently when they see price fluctuations. According to Coinbase's statistics for 2025, retail investors who traded more than 200 times in a year had a loss rate as high as 83%. Therefore, my strategy is to reduce meaningless operations and focus on grasping trends.
Second stupidity: closely follow the trend and avoid air coins.
I only invest in mainstream coins, waiting for the trend to clarify before taking action. Those who chase small coins every day or engage in high-frequency trading have long been left behind by me.
The crypto market is filled with a large number of 'shitcoins' and funds that often promise unrealistic high returns. I am never tempted by these and only choose projects that have practical application scenarios and active community support.
Third stupidity: divide funds into five parts and use them in stages.
I only add positions when the trend is clear, never blindly bottom-fish, always leave enough room, and fearlessly face black swan events.
Scientific capital allocation is key to survival. I use a diversified strategy, investing no more than 5% of total funds in a single project, and always keep emergency cash. This ensures that even if a single cryptocurrency experiences extreme collapse, I still have enough funds to continue surviving and operating.
The key to survival in the crypto world: mindset over technology.
I have seen too many technically savvy individuals fail due to human nature and emotions. I neither judge nor speculate; I just stick to the rules.
Cryptocurrency trading is not only a contest of technology and strategies but also a psychological game. The severe fluctuations in the market have long exceeded the level of numerical rises and falls; it is a long-lasting self-struggle.
Greed and fear are the two greatest enemies.
When the market rises rapidly, investors are prone to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and blindly chase high prices to buy. Conversely, during market declines, they are prone to panic selling. These two emotions are the root causes of losses for most people.
My approach is very simple: formulate a clear trading plan and stick to it strictly. Before market fluctuations, clearly define entry and exit points, stop-loss and take-profit levels. This allows you to have guidelines when facing market fluctuations, rather than being led by emotions.
Why do most 'smart people' end up not making money?
Because they always want to seize every opportunity, always want to buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest point. This perfectionism is fatal in the crypto world.
Overconfidence is an invisible killer.
After consecutive profits, traders often think they have mastered market rules, underestimate risks, and increase positions or leverage. As a result, a single mistake can lead to significant losses.
I clearly understand that the market is always unpredictable. Therefore, I always remain humble, no matter how much profit I make, and will not change the original capital management rules.
Reject the fantasy of 'getting rich overnight.'
The myths of getting rich quickly that circulate in the market are often survivor bias. Those who enter the market with a mindset of quick wealth often become the victims of harvesting. I view cryptocurrency investment as a process that requires long-term learning and accumulation, rather than gambling.
My practical insights: the power of simple repetition.
Many people are always looking for more complex and profound methods, but they overlook that the simplest methods are often the most effective.
It's like the coin-holding strategy, which is the simplest strategy—buy and hold. The problem is that many newcomers become anxious and sell when they see significant price fluctuations. My experience is that holding good coins for the long term can potentially yield tenfold returns.
Only invest spare money is a hard rule.
This means that the funds you invest should be completely idle, and losing all of it should not affect your normal life. I absolutely do not use living expenses, tuition, or mortgage money, let alone borrow to trade cryptocurrencies.
Establish mechanical trading discipline.
This can effectively avoid emotional decision-making. I set automatic stop-loss points and withdraw the initial investment when profits reach 30% of the principal. I trade no more than three times a week to avoid overtrading.
When the market is in panic (Fear and Greed Index <20), I dollar-cost average; when the market is euphoric (Index >80), I sell part of my positions in batches. This rule-based operation keeps me rational at all times.
Conclusion: being a little foolish may be easier for survival in the crypto world.
In the crypto world, filled with temptations and traps, smart people often think too much, while 'fools' succeed by sticking to simple rules. I don’t make short-term predictions, nor do I pursue overnight wealth; I simply execute my strategy.
Practice has proven that those who can master the rules can leverage them to create profits, while those who are swept away by short-term fluctuations will ultimately become market victims. In this game of information overload and regulatory restructuring, penetrating the concept packaging and building a defense system is the path to long-term survival.
