Are you new to the crypto world and feeling like this?——
Bitcoin is up: Slap your thigh!
Ethereum is down: Grab your hair!
Seeing others flaunt their profits: Feeling sour like a lemon!
When you're all-in: instantly become a philanthropist!
Don't panic! Today's 'survival manual' is specifically designed to cure newcomers' high blood pressure, insomnia, and finger twitching syndrome. After reading, you'll immediately evolve from a leek to a sickle.
Three major survival rules for newcomers (1-100,000 stage).
1. First, be a 'crypto beginner,' don't pretend to be a 'Wall Street wolf.'
What to do: Treat Bitcoin and Ethereum's white papers like romantic novels and memorize the introductions to the top 20 coins like a fan manual!
Don't do: Jumping straight into studying DEFI or NFT programming languages? Wake up! You can't even spell 'blockchain' correctly!
2. Mixing communities is more important than mixing nightclubs.
What to do: Find a quality project community to lurk in, learn the language, copy homework, and hug the big legs, becoming a 'community external administrator'!
Don't do: dabble in every lane? Are you here to trade cryptocurrencies or to collect stamps?
3. The way to make money should be like a 'turtle,' don't learn from the 'rabbit.'
What to do: Find a proper job (like web development), use your salary for regular investments, and rely on it for your mid-life savings!
Don't do: Open contracts, trade meme coins, or use leverage? You might as well donate to the exchange and gain a reputation as a philanthropist!
Five major self-destructive behaviors (with rescue plans).
Self-destructive behavior 1: Blindly believing in 'big gifts.'
Symptoms: Seeing '888 yuan wealth password gift package' and immediately cutting your hand, only to find it's all emojis.
Rescue: Save that money to buy pork ribs; isn't that more appealing?
Self-destructive behavior 2: Playing the 'resource integrator.'
Symptoms: Pulling the project party with one hand and the exchange with the other, only to find that you are the one being 'integrated.'
Rescue: Remember! The resources of big players in the crypto world can break newcomers!
Self-destructive behavior 3: Chasing 'quality projects' like chasing stars.
Symptoms: Hearing that a certain project is 'the next Bitcoin,' going all-in, and discovering you became 'the next victim.'
Rescue: If quality projects don't allow you to support them, it's like a goddess not allowing you to confess—face reality!
Self-destructive behavior 4: Treating the crypto world as an amusement park.
Symptoms: Playing every project leads to an empty wallet, feeling numb, and ending up with a bunch of air coins as souvenirs.
Rescue: The crypto world is not Disneyland; playing in it requires investment. Focus on digging a well to drink water!
Self-destructive behavior 5: Blindly believing in the 'all-in philosophy.'
Symptoms: Always wanting to make a big score, ending up either becoming rich or dying (the latter is more likely).
Rescue: Remember! The only guaranteed profit in the crypto world is trading fees from exchanges!
"If you haven't unfollowed after reading this, congratulations!"
You have surpassed 99% of newcomers in the crypto world—
They are still asking 'how to withdraw,' while you have already learned 'how to survive.'
I entered the crypto market in 2014 and have been trading for ten years, with over six years of professional teaching experience! I developed a super cool software and indicators with trading masters from four countries, along with the 333 trading method!
The 333 trading method is a complete trading system that suits short, medium, and long-term trading, with both buying points and selling points.
I've come from stocks, futures, and gold. I discovered that the most exciting market is the crypto world! The charm of this market lies not only in its T+0 trading mechanism but also in its endless possibilities! The main strategy focuses on mainstream cryptocurrency spot trading, solidifying your foundation before engaging in contracts, which is just an added bonus! Start with a small amount of capital, use low leverage to control risks while ensuring principal protection for manageable trades!
"The 333 position control method" is simply understood as if the position is ten layers, first buy 3 layers, then buy another 3 layers, and finally buy the last 3 layers. Thus, you implement the 333 position control method.
The importance of the 333 position control method:
1. Successful investment = objective and concise rules + patience to wait for opportunities + rational control of positions + decisive quick stop-loss + courage to expand profits.
2. The crypto market can't be just about shorting or longing, but in such a random stock market, as long as you manage your positions, you can still make money.
3. Position management is the technique of deciding how to enter in batches when you decide to go long on an investment object, and how to set stop-loss/take-profit levels. Perfect every part of entering, stopping losses, and taking profits.
First, operate with 3 positions on the selected individual stock, and during the first rally, you can appropriately reduce your positions.
After adjustment, when a golden cross occurs, you can increase your positions. Then during the next rapid and high rally, you can perform a high sell operation.
This operation achieves reasonable control of positions and effective profits.
The so-called 333 position control method not only effectively controls positions and stabilizes profits, but also has another use: to relieve losses.
1. If you get stuck at a high position, perform a reasonable first increase in positions according to the 333 position control method.
2. Control positions during rebounds to perform reduction operations.
3. Keep cycling through, constantly increasing and reducing positions, successfully applying the 333 position control method for relieving losses. Subsequently, successfully relieve losses.
Notes on the 333 position control method:
First: If you are optimistic, decisively buy 3 layers.
Second: The individual stocks you are optimistic about must be subjected to comprehensive analysis and judgment, not just randomly buying any stock you see.
Finally: No matter how good it is, there is always a probability of decline. So if what you selected really drops, you must make other arrangements.
Friendly reminder: When buying a coin, never exceed 70% of your capital. Always leave 30-40% of your position to trade during the rise, to lower costs and increase profits.
How to make money in the crypto world and reach your first million!
1. Choose the right targets: Don't waste your youth on 'junk coins.' The crypto world is like a vegetable market—some sell cabbage, and some sell gold. If you enter with a few thousand yuan, avoid those altcoins with names you can't pronounce. Mainstream coins are the baseline: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are like 'big brothers,' with large market caps and small volatility, suitable as ballast. Don't underestimate them; they can help you avoid 90% of the pitfalls. For potential coins, look for two points: either strong technology (like blockchain projects solving real problems) or an active community (where people chat daily on Twitter and Discord). Don't believe in 'hundredfold coins' myths; survive the bear market first.
2. Regular investment: Be friends with time; don't always think of getting rich overnight. You might think making money in the crypto world relies on 'all-in'? Wrong, the most stable strategy for ordinary people is regular investment. Buy a little bit regularly every week/month: for example, invest 1000 yuan in ETH each month. If the bear market drops, treat it as accumulating cheap chips; if the bull market rises, don't be greedy—sell in batches when you reach your psychological price. Don't let FOMO emotions bind you: seeing others flaunt contracts earning millions? Feeling itchy? Remember: contracts are a casino; spot trading is the right path. Don't touch contracts, don't touch contracts, don't touch contracts!!!
3. Empty-handed wolf: The 'laying down to earn' strategy for airdrops. There truly are ways to make money in the crypto world without spending—by claiming airdrops! Keep an eye on new projects: Many blockchain projects distribute benefits (like free tokens for signing up) before they launch. Register more wallets and participate in testnet tasks; with luck, you could snag thousands in a single go. Pitfall guide: Don't believe the scam that says 'You must pay to receive an airdrop!' Legitimate projects give them away for free.
4. Follow smart money: Don't blindly speculate. The information gap in the crypto world is too vast; learning to 'copy homework' is more effective than doing your own research. Check whale addresses: Use Etherscan to see what big wallets are buying and follow their lead (but don't follow them all!). Join communities to gather intel: High-quality Discord groups and Twitter influencers often share insights before you see opportunities in K-lines.
5. Fasten your seatbelt: Losing money is easier than making money. One day in the crypto world equals one year in reality. Without proper risk control, you can go to zero in minutes. Always set a stop-loss line: if your principal drops by 20%, sell to cut losses—don't fantasize about 'it will rise back eventually.' Investing spare money: Using living expenses to trade cryptocurrencies? That's a death wish!
Finally, let me say something practical. To earn tens of thousands with a few thousand, there are three core points: choose the right coins, hold onto them, and don't be greedy! Don't envy 'wealth myths': Li Xiaolai has long said that those who make big money in the crypto world are 'the ones who can hold on.' Slow is fast: I've seen too many people mess around with leveraged contracts and end up losing everything. In contrast, the neighbor Wang, who invests 500 yuan in BTC each month, plays dead in bear markets and cashes out in bull markets, and after 5 years, has multiplied his investment by 30 times. Remember: there are no shortcuts in the crypto world, but there is always a path suitable for ordinary people.
How to improve trading win rates.
1. The height difference between adjacent peaks should ideally be more than 30%. Of course, the greater the height difference, the better. If there are obvious divergence opportunities occurring consecutively two or three times, the possibility of trend reversal increases. Therefore, for obvious divergences that do not follow a good pattern, we can actively filter them out to possibly improve our win rate.
2. Combine multiple strategies: It is recommended that you first conduct extensive reviews and summarize more patterns. Then, combining various strategies can improve win rates and profitability.
3. The departure strategy is essentially a trend-following trading system. We capture short-selling opportunities as prices continuously hit new highs and capture long opportunities as prices continuously hit new lows. This differs from most trend-following trading systems. Thus, we must strictly adhere to entry and stop-loss conditions.
Trading rules.
This strategy is not 100% effective, but it can provide a trading idea.
Go long.
Simultaneously meet the following three conditions:
1. The K-line low point continuously hits new lows.
2. The MACD histogram continuously shows bottom divergence: Red peaks below the zero axis continuously hit new highs.
3. Key K-line: The first column where the MACD dark column turns into a light column corresponds to the K-line.
Stop-loss.
Set the stop-loss for long positions at the low point of the key K-line, minus the ATR value. This is essentially the position and price provided by our automatic stop-loss tool.
Take profit.
For profit taking, we adopt a strategy combining a fixed profit-loss ratio and right-side profit taking. For example, we can take profit on half of the position at a 1:1.5 profit-loss ratio, while the other half uses right-side profit taking to seek higher profits.
Go short.
Simultaneously meet the following three conditions:
1. The K-line high point continuously hits new highs. 2. The MACD histogram continuously shows top divergence, with green peaks above the zero axis continuously hitting new lows. 3. Key K-line: The first column where the MACD dark column turns into a light column corresponds to the K-line.
Stop-loss.
Key K-line high point + ATR.
Take profit.
For profit taking, we adopt a strategy combining a fixed profit-loss ratio and right-side profit taking. For example, we can take profit on half of the position at a 1:1.5 profit-loss ratio, while the other half uses right-side profit taking to seek higher profits.
In addition to having solid skills, I have also summarized 8 iron rules through hard work. The content is not much, but it's very valuable. If you think there's no reason after reading, feel free to say whatever you want!
First, Iron Rule One: Use 'spare money for regular investments' to insure your account, rejecting a gambler's mentality.
❶ Only invest 'money you won't miss.' The bloody lesson: During the 2022 LUNA crash, 78% of liquidated investors used 'living expenses/loan money.' The correct approach: Take out 5%-10% of your monthly income (e.g., if you earn 5,000 a month, invest 250-500 yuan each month) using funds that, if lost, won't affect your life.
❷ Regular investments are the 'anti-human sickle.' Data shows: Users who persist with regular investments for 2 years have returns 43% higher than those who time the market. Practical plan: Invest 50 yuan in BTC every Thursday automatically to avoid 'chasing highs when it rises and cutting losses when it falls,' which is the behavior of leeks.
Key reminder: Set a '10% stop-loss line.' For example, with a principal of 5000 yuan, if a single coin loses over 500 yuan, automatically stop-loss. Protecting your principal is more important than recovering losses.
Second, Iron Rule Two: Choose the right platform; don’t let fees eat away at your profits.
❶ The first choice for small investments is 'low-fee safe options.' Pitfall guide: Some platforms charge up to 3% transaction fees for small amounts. If you trade 10,000 yuan ten times, you'd lose 300 yuan. Selected list (2025 tested): Binance: minimum investment of 1 dollar, spot trading fee of 0.1% (reduced by 25% if paid with BNB). Coinbase: A compliant platform in the U.S., suitable for beginners, supports small investments of 5 dollars.
❷ Safety is the first principle. Must-check items: Does the platform have 'Canadian CSA regulation' and 'cold wallet storage for over 95% of assets'? Crash case: In 2024, a platform was hacked, and user assets vanished overnight. Check 'Certik audit reports' before choosing a platform.
Third, Iron Rule Three: Diversification does not equal random investment; these 3 types of coins must be included.
❶ 'Foundation coins' for a stable base (60% position): BTC (30% share): The 'digital gold' of the crypto world, with institutional holdings projected to increase by 230% in 2025, offering strong anti-dip protection. ETH (30% share): The core of the DeFi ecosystem, with a 50% reduction in gas fees after the Prague upgrade, looking bullish in the long term.
❷ 'Potential coins' for explosive growth (30% position). Track selection: AI coins (FET), L2 coins (ARB/OP), coins benefiting from Cancun upgrades (MATIC). Screening criteria: Top 50 by market cap, team with real products, on-chain activity increased by 20% in the last 3 months.
❸ 'Hedge coins' to prevent black swans (10% position). Recommended: Stablecoin USDC (to protect principal), Gold ETF coins (like XAUT, to protect against inflation).
Lightning avoidance guide: Reject 'hundredfold coin myths.' Data: Out of 15,000 altcoins, 92% of projects will go to zero by 2024. Only invest in coins that 'can state 3 application scenarios.'
Fourth, Iron Rule Four: Spending 1 hour on learning is more important than staring at the screen for 10 hours.
❶ 3 must-learn points to understand white papers: Focus on 'what problem is being solved' (e.g., BTC solves the trust issue, ETH solves decentralized computing). On-chain data: Use Glassnode to check 'whale holding changes,' and DeFi Llama to see 'protocol lock-up amounts.' Policy trends: Will the U.S. SEC classify 60% of altcoins as securities? How will Canada's MiCA bill affect compliance?
❷ Fraud prevention 3 no-principles: Don't touch 'anonymous team coins' or 'new coins outside the top 30 in price increase.' Hardware wallets for survival: Keep coins you hold long-term off exchanges! Ledger Nano X is only 300 yuan and is a hacker-proof tool.
Fifth, Iron Rule Five: Use 'cyclical thinking' to defeat anxiety and outlast the whales.
Remember the historical law of the 'four-year cycle' in the crypto world: 2013-2017-2021-2025, a major bull market every four years. We are currently in the 'early stage of the 2025 main surge.' Key indicator: when BTC's market cap percentage drops below 50% (currently at 60%), altcoins will enter a period of explosion.
Ultimate reminder for small-cap investors.
Warning zone: Don't touch leverage! Using 10x leverage with small capital has a 99% chance of liquidation within 3 months. Don't chase hot trends! The case of PEPE coin crashing by 90% proves that following trends is just giving money to the whales.
The crypto world is not 'an ATM for rich people,' but a 'stage for smart people's comebacks.' From today on, start with a 500 yuan regular investment, turning your monthly pocket money into 'digital asset seeds.' Remember: in the crypto world, patience is more important than courage—those who endure through the lows will eventually become the biggest winners in the bull market.
Playing in the crypto world is essentially a battle between retail investors and whales. If you don't have cutting-edge information or first-hand materials, you'll just get cut! If you want to lay out together and harvest the whales, come find me! Follow me and check my profile. Like-minded crypto enthusiasts are welcome to discuss together~
There's a saying I strongly agree with: Knowledge boundaries determine wealth boundaries; a person can only earn wealth within their knowledge boundaries.
Having a good mindset for trading cryptocurrencies is essential. Don't let your blood pressure rise during a market crash, and don't get carried away during a market surge. It's important to secure your profits.
For those with limited resources, being grounded is the unbreakable way of survival. Good luck!
