In the crypto market, I often joke that I’m an “idiot.”
With small capital, scaling up slowly to several times or even dozens of times—without ever getting liquidated, and rarely chasing those sudden-hot trends that spike wildly. I don’t spend all day staring at the candlestick chart either. Many people think I’m just lucky, but they don’t realize that in this market, sometimes having a little less cleverness actually makes it easier to last longer.
I’ve seen so many people who think they’re smart: the moment the market moves, they switch positions. When there’s good news, they rush in immediately. For futures, they can’t wait to crank leverage to the max. Then after a normal pullback, they start panicking. In the end, it’s not just that they lose a little—they end up giving back their earlier profits, or even their principal.
They’re not necessarily bad at technical analysis. It’s just that they know too much and act too fast. They always feel like they can’t miss every move in the market. I, on the other hand, prefer to keep things simple: test with a small position first. If the trend hasn’t been confirmed, don’t rush to add more. Don’t touch junk coins. Don’t chase sudden, newly appearing hype. After buying, be patient and wait for the market to give you the answer.
Once the real market move starts, then gradually increase your position based on the price action, and make money that you actually understand. When the trend is over, take profits when you should—don’t fantasize about making every last cent. And don’t cling to a coin just because you once bought it. $BMT
This approach doesn’t look exciting at all, but it helps me avoid so many basic mistakes. In the past, a friend of mine kept losing until he could barely hold on. Later, he started controlling his position size and trading less. And slowly, he regained his rhythm.
So the more I think about it, the more I feel that in crypto, what really tests you isn’t who understands the most—it’s who can control their own impulses, manage position size well, and also endure the boredom of not having an opportunity.
A lot of the time, you’re not losing because you can’t read candlestick charts. You’re losing because you’re too impatient, your position size is too heavy, and even when you know you’re wrong, you still refuse to admit it.
If I had to choose a way to live in this space, I’d rather keep “playing dumb,” do less messing around, and slowly take hold of the money that should be yours. #OpenAI据报完成新一代Bel模型预训练
