At the beginning of 2023, I entered the crypto space with 3000 yuan for living expenses. After 16 months, this money turned into 50,000—without using contract leverage, without touching the myth of 100x, just relying on three simple methods. Today I want to tell everyone: in the crypto space, surviving long is the true skill.
First tactic: Dollar-cost averaging, but smarter than dollar-cost averaging
I call this the 'salaryman investment method': every Monday at market open, buy 200 yuan of BTC/ETH without fail. Just like paying off a mortgage, buy regardless of price fluctuations.
But there are two key details:
When the market crashes (for example, dropping over 15% in a week), temporarily increase the position by 50%
Only select the three major mainstream coins; those flashy altcoins should be avoided.
In September last year, when there was a significant pullback, while everyone around me was cutting losses, I increased my position instead. As a result, three months later, that part of the position earned 68%. Data doesn't lie: those who stick to this strategy can basically outperform 90% of short-term traders annually.
Second tactic: Wait for opportunities like a hunter
On the 1st of every month, I do two things:
Go through the monthly charts of the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap
Only choose those that meet all three conditions:
MACD Golden Cross
Increased trading volume
Price stands on key moving averages
The SOL discovered last December is a typical case: the monthly line just broke through, the weekly line is expanding, I built a position at $25 and set an 8% stop loss. As a result, five months later it rose to $200, and moving the stop loss helped me secure a 7-fold profit.
Key point: this kind of opportunity comes only three to four times a year, but each time you seize it is enough to last for six months.
Third tactic: Do the opposite of market sentiment
I always keep the fear and greed index open on my phone’s home screen. When the indicator drops below 25 (red alert), I start buying in batches; when it rises above 75 (yellow alert), I start selling slowly.
The most classic was the bottom-fishing at the end of last year: Bitcoin fell for two consecutive weeks, and the community was shouting 'to zero', I built a position in three batches, with a 12-hour interval each time. Three months later, when the index soared, I sold out, netting a 65% profit.
My four life-saving rules
Position discipline
No single coin should exceed 20% of the position
Always keep 30% cash in total position
Circuit breaker mechanism
Stop trading for three days if you lose 5% in a single day
If there are three consecutive stop losses, take a mandatory week off
Profit management
Withdraw the principal first when profits exceed 30%
Transfer 50% of profits back to bank card every quarter
Time management
Spend no more than 1 hour watching the market daily
Turn off the software after setting alerts
Real growth curve
Month 1: Lose 15%, question life
Month 3: Start breaking even, regain confidence
Month 6: Account doubles, strategy validated
Month 12: Seize the ETH market, assets surpass 10,000
Month 16: The compounding effect exploded, achieving the 50,000 goal

Remember: those who ultimately survive in this market are those who repeatedly do simple things.
