New to the crypto market? Of the ten people who dive in, nine have gotten stuck in a bullhorn: thinking that if they don’t chew through dozens of indicator sets—and fully master RSI and MACD—they can’t make money. Their charts eyes ache from staring, the price moves and their palms sweat; the more they learn, the more confused they get.

Four years ago, I met a longtime fan who ended up like that: watching the market until 2 or 3 a.m., chasing when it went up by a bit, cutting losses after it dropped a couple of ticks. He got liquidated twice, his account hit rock bottom, and he hid at home for half a month without daring to touch his phone.

I didn’t argue with him about technicals. I just said one honest thing: people who love to play smart in this way are the ones most likely to end up crashing; those who can keep their money safe are the ones willing to do plain, boring work.

He followed my 343 split-portfolio method for almost six years:

Use 30% of the principal to build the initial position, holding spot without panic;
When the market dumps, add another 40% in batches—bring down the average cost while others are cutting losses;
When the trend stabilizes, deploy the remaining 30% at the right time and ride the breakout wave, then exit decisively after the main run.

Some people mocked him for being too slow, saying he should just go all-in for the thrill. The result: in the first year, he wasn’t shaken out; in the second year, his returns tripled; and in the third year, 200,000 U rolled into over 70 million U.

What “magic move” is there? There isn’t—just don’t go all-in, don’t chase, and don’t let emotions steer you.

In crypto, those who stand firm are never the people who study new indicators every day. It’s the ones who execute one dumb method all the way through.

If you’re still chasing pumps and selling dumps, and your losses keep growing the more you trade, stop for a moment and try this “dumb” approach. Don’t always think about getting rich overnight—only the chips you grind out slowly are the kind you can truly hold on to.
