Four years ago, I stared blankly at the MACD and RSI indicators on the K-line chart, my eyes sore from looking at the screen, while the $200,000 in my account slowly deflated like a leaky balloon. After being liquidated three times, I even began to doubt myself: am I too stupid to fit into the crypto world?
Until that seasoned investor woke me up: 'You think staring at indicators is smart, but actually, you're giving money to the market. The real way to make money is simple enough to make you feel stupid.' He said the '343 Batch Building Method', which I have now used for 4 years, rolling from $200,000 to over $50 million — don’t think it’s exaggerated, the core of this method is not 'predicting the market', but 'no matter how the market moves, you can still earn money'.
One, 30% testing position: use small money to test, giving the principal 'insurance'.
Seasoned investors say: 'There are more traps than opportunities in the crypto world, let the bullets fly for a while.' 30% testing position essentially means 'exchanging small costs for certainty'.
When I first tried this method 4 years ago, I chose ETH (then priced at $1,200) with a principal of $200,000, first using 30% ($60,000) to enter, buying 50 ETH. Why choose mainstream coins? Because altcoins could directly go to zero, and the cost of trial and error is too high, while BTC, ETH, and these coins, even if they drop in the short term, as long as you don’t operate blindly, they will eventually return.
Once, I tested with 30% of my position on SOL, and after entering it dropped by 5%. If it were before, I would have panicked, but this time I remained steady — after all, I only invested 30%, even if it dropped by 20%, I would only lose 6% of the total principal, not too damaging. As a result, 3 days later SOL rebounded, and I not only didn’t lose but earned 3%.
The key to this step is 'never go all in'. Many people feel that '30% position earns less', but you need to think: if you go all in right away and make the wrong judgment, it's a total loss; using 30% to test, even if you make a mistake, you still have 70% of the principal to recover. There are always opportunities in the crypto world, but the principal is only one.
Two, 40% lower cost: buy more as it drops, turning 'pits' into 'opportunities'.
This is the most anti-human step of the '343 Method', and also the most profitable step: do not move when it rises, add positions when it drops.
My operation on ETH was like this: after entering with $60,000, ETH dropped to $1,080 (a drop of 10%), I took 10% from the 40% of funds ($20,000) to replenish, lowering the cost to $1,160; when it dropped to $972 (another drop of 10%), I replenished another 10% ($20,000), lowering the cost to $1,100; when it dropped to $875 (another drop of 10%), I replenished the remaining 20% ($40,000), lowering the cost to $1,020.
Calculating, 40% of the funds ($80,000) divided into three replenishments, the total cost dropped from $1,200 to $1,020 — this is 15% lower than going all in from the start. Later, when ETH rebounded to $1,300, this part of the position directly made 27%, while if I had gone all in from the beginning, I could only make 8%.
The seasoned investor told me: 'A drop is not a risk, but an opportunity to lower costs.' But this step has two ironclad rules:
Only replenish when it drops by 10%: you can’t replenish just because it drops by 5%, otherwise the funds will run out quickly, and you won’t have bullets left when a major drop occurs; you also can’t wait for a 20% drop to replenish, as you will miss the best time to lower costs.
40% of funds divided into 4 rounds of replenishment: each time replenishing 10%, up to 4 times (total drop of 40%). If it drops more than 4 times, it indicates that the trend is truly bad, so keep the remaining money for survival.
Last year, when FTX collapsed, BTC dropped from $20,000 to $15,000 (a drop of 25%), I followed the rules and replenished 2 times, lowering the cost to $18,000. Later, when BTC rebounded to $30,000, this wave directly earned 67% — those who cut losses during the crash will never understand the power of 'buying more as it drops'.
Three, 30% trend addition: wait for confirmation signals, let the profits fly.
The last 30% of funds is the 'key to making big money', but you must wait for a signal: the market stabilizes at a key position.
The standard for seasoned investors is 'stabilizing above the 7-day moving average for 3 days'. For example, after ETH rebounded from $1,020, it consolidated above the 7-day moving average for 3 days without dropping back, indicating that 'the trend has truly arrived', then I added the last 30% ($60,000). The cost for this step is $1,150, which is 5% lower than the first testing position and 7% lower than going all in.
Why wait for stabilization at the 7-day moving average? Because many rebounds are 'fake', such as a small bounce after a large drop, followed by further declines. Stabilizing for 3 days can filter out 80% of fake rebounds.
Last year, BTC rebounded from $15,000 to $20,000, and after standing above the 7-day moving average for 5 days, I added my final 30% position. As a result, it surged all the way to $40,000, and this part of the position directly made 100% — the previous testing and replenishment were 'bottoming out', but the trend addition is the core of 'doubling profits'.
But remember: if the market does not stabilize at a key position, this 30% of funds must not be touched. Once SOL rebounded to the 7-day moving average but only stood for 1 day before dropping back, I didn’t increase my position, and it indeed dropped again by 30%, preserving my bullets.
Four, take profits: don’t be greedy! This method’s 'hidden killer move'.
What the seasoned investors don’t say is that the profit-taking in the '343 Method' is more important than building a position. My approach is 'take profits in batches, secure the profits':
When the total floating profit exceeds 20%, sell 30% first (the part from testing the position), recovering 30% of the principal. This step ensures 'the principal never loses'.
Once the floating profit exceeds 50%, then sell 40% (the part for lowering costs), recovering most of the profits, while the remaining 30% (trend addition) lets it continue to rise.
Once the floating profit exceeds 100%, sell the last 30% in two batches, leaving 10% to bet on higher, but never be greedy.
For the past 4 years, I have used this profit-taking method to avoid countless instances of 'profit withdrawal'. Once ETH had a floating profit of 120%, I sold 90% according to the rules, and the remaining 10% later earned another 50%. Even if it dropped, I had already made 108% — many people fail to make money, not because they don’t know how to buy, but because they don’t know how to sell.
Why can the 'stupid method' beat 'smart operations'?
Don’t bet on direction: whether the market rises or falls, 30% testing can withstand fluctuations, 40% replenishing can lower costs, and 30% adding can grasp trends; there's always a way to make a profit.
Anti-human execution: dare to add positions when it drops, able to take profits when it rises; 90% of people can’t do these two steps, but if you do, you win against 90% of people.
Mainstream coins as a bottom: only invest in BTC, ETH, and these currencies, avoiding the traps of altcoins, ensuring 'even if I lose in the short term, I can still return in the long term'.
I have seen too many people analyze with complex indicators and be eloquent, only to panic at the first pullback, either cutting losses or chasing highs. The '343 Method' is like a robot; no matter how your emotions fluctuate, just follow the steps — in the crypto world, execution is 100 times more important than IQ.
Here’s a piece of advice for those who want to try:
Don’t think this method is 'too stupid'; being able to roll from $200,000 to over $50 million relies on 'being obedient, following the rules, and not being clever'. You don’t need to stare at K-lines, you don’t need to learn indicators, and you don’t even need to understand blockchain — choose the right mainstream coins, build positions according to the 343 steps, decisively sell when it’s time to take profits, and leave the rest to time.
The money in the crypto world has never been earned for 'smart people', but for those who 'can control themselves'. Now open your account, divide the funds into 3:4:3, and choose a mainstream coin to try — you may find that making money can really be this simple.
