1. The simplest method: the underlying logic of holding mainstream coins for the long term

After years in the cryptocurrency world, I have seen countless individuals addicted to short-term speculation, trusting technical indicators, and ultimately losing everything. I only used one 'simplest' method—holding mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum for the long term—to achieve exponential growth in wealth. The core of this method lies in exchanging time for space by grasping the long-term value growth trend of cryptocurrencies and avoiding the traps of short-term volatility.


The stability of mainstream coins is the cornerstone of this strategy. Bitcoin, known as 'digital gold,' and Ethereum, the leader of smart contract platforms, have large market capitalizations, strong communities, and continuous technological iterations, making them irreplaceable in the long term. Take Bitcoin as an example: despite severe price fluctuations in the short term, its value has increased more than 10 million times over the past decade, which is the strongest proof of the benefits of long-term holding.
Reducing operational risk is another significant advantage of this method. Frequent trading not only increases transaction costs but also easily leads to emotional decision-making. By choosing to hold for the long term, you passively avoid the impulse to chase gains and cut losses, allowing time to become your ally.

2. Mindset management: taming the double-edged sword of greed and fear

In the cryptocurrency world, mindset is always the top priority. I summarized a set of effective mindset management rules:


  1. Luck and hesitation: twin brothers of risk
    A lucky mindset can cause you to overlook potential risks, while hesitation can make you miss the best opportunities. I witnessed an investor in 2024 who, due to a lucky mindset, failed to stop-loss during a sharp decline in ETH, ultimately losing over 80%. Another friend missed the opportunity to buy at low prices during the early stages of altcoin launches in 2025 due to hesitation, losing out on several times the return.

  2. Greed is the wipe for profits
    Greed can make people lose their minds when the market goes wild. In April 2025, PEPE coin skyrocketed 100 times in a short period, and many investors, due to greed, were reluctant to sell, ultimately seeing their profits shrink significantly during the correction. Remember,fish in the middle, leave the head and tail for others.

  3. Contrarian thinking: be greedy when others are fearful
    Market sentiment is the best contrarian indicator. In May 2025, after a significant correction in Bitcoin prices and widespread panic in the market, I increased my position against the trend. As Buffett said: 'I am greedy when others are fearful,' this operation allowed me to gain substantial returns in the subsequent rebound.

3. Strategies and techniques: building a robust trading system

  1. Swing trading: amplifying returns amidst fluctuations
    Swing trading is an important complement to long-term holding. I usually combine technical indicators and market sentiment for swing trading. For example, I buy when the ETH price drops below the support level of $2391 and sell when it breaks through the resistance level of $2672. This method allows capturing profits during price increases while controlling risks during declines.

  2. Position management: attack when possible, defend when necessary
    Never go all-in lightly, this has been my ironclad rule for years. I usually keep my position between 30%-50%, retaining enough cash to respond to market fluctuations. During the market correction in May 2025, I was able to increase my position at lower prices and average down my costs because I had cash on hand.

  3. Stop-loss and take-profit: the art of the life-and-death line
    Stop-loss is the last line of defense for protecting principal. I set a stop-loss level of 5%-10% for each trade, and once triggered, I execute it immediately. For instance, if the ETH price drops below $2289.79, I will stop-loss without hesitation. Take-profit needs to be combined with market sentiment and technical indicators. When the market shows signs of madness, gradually take profit to secure gains.

4. Practical case studies: validating in Binance Alpha and altcoin season

  1. Binance Alpha Launch: Strategies for seizing opportunities
    In May 2025, Binance Alpha launched new projects like GRASS and ATH. I closely monitored their liquidity and market reactions during the initial token launch, buying after price stabilization and selling after short-term price increases, successfully capturing 20%-30% profits. This 'fishing in the middle' strategy allowed me to gain considerable returns with low risk.

  2. Altcoin season is coming: how to stay clear-headed amidst the frenzy
    In May 2025, analysts generally predicted that altcoin season was approaching, with Bitcoin's dominance dropping to 63.89% and coins like SOL and DOGE performing actively. At this time, I adopted a strategy of 'selecting targets + diversified investment,' focusing on solidly developed altcoins with real applications while strictly controlling my position to avoid excessive risk.

5. Tools and resources: secret weapons to improve win rates

  1. Technical analysis: a tool for aiding decision-making
    I combine technical indicators like MACD and KDJ to determine market trends. For example, when the MACD histogram turns positive, it's usually a buy signal; when the KDJ value exceeds 70, caution is needed for potential market overbought conditions. But I always remind myself:there are no absolutely accurate indicators, only partially informed retail investors.

  2. Institutional movements: capturing market opportunities
    Monitoring the flow of institutional funds is key to grasping market trends. In April 2025, as institutions like BlackRock continued to increase their holdings of ETH, I keenly captured this signal and positioned myself in advance, obtaining excess returns in the subsequent rise.

  3. Community and information: avoiding information islands
    I pay attention to authoritative media like PANews, Cointelegraph, and insights from analysts like Mister Crypto and 2Lambroz while participating in discussions in the Binance Alpha community to get the latest project dynamics and market analysis.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication; persistence leads to victory

The cryptocurrency world is a place full of temptation and risk. Countless people try to find shortcuts to overnight wealth but ultimately lose their way. My personal experience proves that the simplest methods are often the most effective. By holding mainstream coins for the long term and combining it with scientific mindset management, strategies, and techniques, you too can achieve stable profits in the cryptocurrency world.


Remember, trading cryptocurrencies is a marathon, not a sprint. In this process, buying relies on confidence, holding relies on patience, and selling relies on determination. When you learn to befriend time and tame greed and fear, you will find that the growth of wealth is just a natural outcome.
