I am in the cryptocurrency circle, often seen as a "foolish newcomer".

Starting with a capital of $3,000, I made it to $24,000, an 8-fold return. During this period, I never faced liquidation, did not blindly chase trends, and rarely analyzed candlestick charts.

People around me think I am incredibly lucky, but they do not understand that being "foolish" is precisely my talisman in this market.

I have seen too many people who consider themselves smart: frequently changing positions, rushing in at the slightest favorable news, and fully leveraging contracts to gamble on market direction. As a result, a small pullback wipes out their funds in an instant. They do not lack understanding of technical analysis; they simply know too much, act too quickly, and are too greedy, always hoping to get rich overnight.

I, however, use a simple method, taking three steps:

Firstly, with small funds to test the waters, only betting when a trend first appears. I resolutely avoid junk coins, do not blindly follow news, and initially invest a small amount of capital, patiently waiting. Those who cannot wait are bound to lose money.

Secondly, when the trend is clear, I increase my position, but never try to catch the bottom. When the market starts to stir, only after confirming the trend do I pull out 20% - 50% of my funds to follow. Catching bottoms is something left for the main players; I only engage in high-certainty trades.

Thirdly, I take profits and leave, without any hesitation. Once a round of market activity ends, I withdraw my funds immediately. I do not fantasize about consecutive limit up days and do not get emotionally attached to the cryptocurrency circle. In my eyes, the cryptocurrency market is just a cash machine; once I withdraw my money, I leave.

This method may not be flashy, but it is very practical. A friend of mine lost 400,000 yuan and was nearly broken; he said, "I don’t want to be clever anymore."

After following me for three months, not only did he recover his investment, but he also bought a Tesla. There is also a fan, with a college degree, who started with $200 and, relying on "patience + diversification", made it to $6,000. He said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have messed around."

The cryptocurrency market is not just a battlefield for technical skills, but also a battlefield for managing emotions and positions. When you lose money, it's often not because you can't read the market charts, but because you are too anxious, over-leveraged, and too stubborn.

After reading this, two paths lie before you: continue to lose money cleverly, or—like me, pretend to be foolish and steadily earn your money.
