The ATM for the disciplined, the meat grinder for the gamblers.
'Teacher, is there any coin that can make quick money immediately?'
Every night, I receive dozens of private messages like this in my backend. Looking at these eager words, I always think of myself three years ago—when I was clutching the only 2000U I had, staying up late flipping through posts about 'hundred times in a year,' as if I would miss out on billions the next second.
Looking back now, most of the bloggers who shouted 'ten times faster' back then have disappeared without a trace, while my account has steadily rolled from 2000U to seven figures. I didn't rely on any mysterious indicators, nor did I gamble on thousand-fold coins; the only thing I did was set three iron rules for myself and then execute them like a machine.
Today I won't discuss complex technical analysis, but rather the underlying logic that has allowed me to survive and make money.
One, beginner stage: use small amounts for trial and error to cultivate a 'risk awe.'
I still remember my first trade was buying 0.05 Bitcoin; the price fluctuated less than 5% at that time, and I was sweating in my palms. But I strictly adhered to the principle of not exceeding 20% of total funds per trade and split this 2000U into five portions.
Don't be afraid of earning little; be afraid of dying early. During that time, my goal was not how much to earn, but rather 'don't do anything stupid today'—I resolutely avoided markets I didn't understand, cut losses immediately when reaching the stop-loss line, and never held on to the fantasy of 'waiting a bit longer for a rebound.'
I have seen too many newcomers who, with 5000U, dare to go all in on some altcoin. They get carried away when it rises a bit and panic when it drops, ending up either holding until liquidation or chasing prices up and down getting cut repeatedly. The crypto world never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is the capital to survive until the next opportunity.
True risk awareness comes from losing money. I have paid plenty of tuition early on: getting stuck while chasing prices, bottom-fishing halfway… But because each position was light, these lessons didn’t cause serious injury; instead, they helped me understand market temperament.
Two, growth stage: diversified positions, increasing positions, understanding trends without being greedy.
When my account slowly rolled to 50,000U, I considered myself to have passed the beginner stage. At this point, I could moderately relax my position size, but I still adhered to one rule: no single position should exceed 25%, and I would never engage in 'all in.'
In the crypto world, full positions either make a lot or blow up; in the long run, the latter is much more likely.
I have suffered losses due to greed. Once, when going long on Bitcoin, my floating profit had reached 30%, but due to greed, I failed to take profits in time, resulting in a flash crash; not only did I lose the profits, but I almost incurred a loss. Since then, I learned: gradually raise the stop-loss line during profits to lock in some gains while letting profits run.
My strategy for increasing positions is very mechanical: after confirming the trend, I enter in 3-4 batches. For example, increase by 10% on the first entry, add 8% when the trend stabilizes, and supplement with 7% at key support levels. This has two benefits: it avoids a pullback immediately after entering, and allows me to steadily capture the most substantial profits in the mid-section of the trend.
Many people worry about 'not buying enough,' but I am more afraid of 'choosing the wrong side.' The volatility in the crypto world is too great; a single heavy loss can negate ten correct trades. I remember clearly a fan once told me he caught a good trend but, due to greed, went all in and ended up liquidated when the market normally corrected by 20%—and this was just a normal fluctuation in a bull market.
Three, mature stage: taking profits and regularly withdrawing funds is the real money-making.
When my account broke 200,000U, I developed a 'quirky habit': withdrawing a portion of profits to a cold wallet every week. It's not that I'm timid, but I've seen too many tragedies of 'paper wealth.'
Floating profits are not profits; what ends up in your pocket is. Every time I withdraw, I tell myself: 'This part is truly earned, and the remaining principal can be played with.' This mindset allows me to be more rational in operations and not be overly affected by fluctuations in account numbers.
Last year's bull market, a friend of mine went from 100,000U to 800,000U and thought he was 'the chosen one,' starting to make random trades and high leverage; as a result, he lost everything back to square one in less than a month. Such stories are common in the crypto world—the market specializes in dealing with all forms of overconfidence and punishing inflated ambitions.
I still insist on regularly withdrawing funds; the money withdrawn should either be saved or invested in low-risk assets. Money in the crypto world comes quickly and goes quickly; only by truly realizing profits can one break this cycle.
Finally, let me say a few honest words.
People often ask me: 'Can you help with my trades?' My answer is always: I can teach the methods, but discipline must rely on oneself. The crypto world is not a casino; it's an ATM for the disciplined and a meat grinder for gamblers.
Those who blow up their accounts do not lack technical skills but rather self-control; those who make money are not just lucky but have ingrained strict rules into their DNA. The fairest thing in this world is that you can never earn more than your understanding; money gained by luck will eventually be lost through skill.
If you're new to the crypto world, remember this: slow is fast. Start small, cultivate your trading system and risk control abilities; this is far more important than how much you earn in the short term. After all, in this industry, longevity is the biggest competitive advantage.
If you find this information useful, you can follow my updates. Next, I will share specific trend analysis methods and position-building techniques. It's always better to mix with disciplined people than to blindly bump around in the market.
After all, slowly getting rich is the fastest way to get rich quickly.
