During the wildest times of the bull market, while others were flexing their gains and leveraging high contracts daily, he shut off his phone and went out to dinner with his family.

Some laughed at him: "You're too timid! How can you make big money in crypto if you don't go all in?"

Yet, this guy, who everyone looked down on, gradually turned his small capital into a decent-sized portfolio.

This brother used to run a small hardware store in Shenzhen. The year he entered the crypto scene, he had just a bit of savings in hand.

While others chased hot trends, traded meme coins, and played with hundred times leverage, he focused on doing one thing for years: waiting.

Waiting for trends, waiting for opportunities, waiting for others to get shaken out.

At his peak, he could hold onto a coin for a long time, not chasing or swapping positions, and never fantasizing about getting rich overnight.

Many thought this approach was too naive, but ironically, those who survived in the end were often these types of traders.

Later, I asked him how he managed to pull through, and he shared a particularly poignant insight: "In the crypto world, most people don't lose because they don't know how to buy; they die from impatience."

I then understood that his endurance relied on a few simple rules:

First, sharp spikes followed by slow declines are likely a sign of accumulation by the whales.

The real danger isn't a gradual pullback; it's when a sudden dump happens with high volume.

Second, weak rebounds after a crash are not the time to catch falling knives.

Many coins may look cheap after a drop, but that's often just because no one wants to catch them.

Third, low volume at high levels is the scariest.

If there’s still volume, at least there’s money in play. The real threat is when trading suddenly dries up.

Fourth, a single surge in volume at the bottom doesn’t guarantee a reversal.

Many so-called "big green candles" that signal a breakout are just traps; true market moves often come after sustained volume increases.

Fifth, in the end, it’s all about human nature in crypto.

Many lose not to skill but to greed and impatience.

Sixth, the truly skilled traders know how to stay in cash.

Those who dare to take a break and wait are often the ones who end up making the big bucks.

Over the years, I've come to believe more and more in one saying:

The real big money in crypto isn’t made by those who rush in the fastest, but by those who can stay calm when others are going wild and can stay in cash when others are chasing after the hype, eventually seeing the results slowly unfold.
