There are always people in the circle who ask me: "Bro, you're born in '91, not exactly young; how did you manage to reach a ten million asset in the crypto world?" I always laugh: "Because I've seen too many people win momentarily but lose to 'not being able to resist' — the true winners in the crypto world are those who can keep themselves seated in their chairs."

Over the years in the circle, I've seen 20-year-old genius boys double their money overnight with leverage, and I've also seen 50-year-old uncles lose their retirement money due to greed. Everyone knows the story of Liang Xi, right? In the year of the 312 crash, he endured the brutal storm, rising from two thousand to over ten million. How fierce! But in the end? The gambling nature kicked in, all in one shot, and the ending was regrettable.

The path I walk is exactly the opposite: I entered the market years ago with 100,000, never caught an astonishing bottom, never chased hundredfold coins, just relying on "a simple method" to slowly roll my way up, and now my account numbers also carry seven zeros. It's not that I'm particularly smart; it's just that I've realized: the crypto world is a slaughterhouse of emotions, and 80% of people die in "chasing highs and lows" and "not being able to resist". Today, I’m sharing my four ironclad rules; those who understand will at least save three years of detours.

1. Don't be greedy for small profits, and definitely don't take risks that could bankrupt you — this is the most counterintuitive yet life-saving rule I've ever seen.

"Bought long at 75,000, planning to run when it hits 76,000, but ended up watching it surge to 120,000" — have you ever done this?

Not long ago, a fan named Xiao Li cried over losses: he built his position when BTC was at $30,000, and after it rose $500, he hurried to take profits, saying "cash in hand", but later it surged to $42,000, and he slapped his thigh, cursing himself for being "foolish". But then? When ETH dropped to $1,800, he thought "the bottom fishing opportunity has come", went all in, and ended up dropping to $1,500, unable to hold on and had to sell at a loss, losing a total of $200,000.

I told him: "You are not trading coins, you are giving money to the market." True experts never worry about "missing small profits" and certainly won't bet everything on a "gamble".

How do I operate? For instance, last year when SOL dropped to $100, I only built a 30% position, even though everyone around me shouted, "It has bottomed out," I did not add — because I knew that "dropped too low" and "won't drop" are two different things. Later, when SOL fell to $80, I added another 20%, and when it rose to $150, I first withdrew my capital, leaving the remaining profit to fluctuate.

Remember: the crypto world is not lacking in opportunities; it is lacking in the patience to "stay alive to wait for opportunities". Those who are greedy for small profits will eventually risk 100% for "an extra 5%", and that risk is enough to kick you out in one go.

2. Only touch "mainstream coins that have dropped too low and are slowly climbing" — no matter how flashy new coins are, I won't even lift my eyelids.

"Bro, the new coin XX just launched and surged 3 times, aren't you going in?" Every time someone asks me this, I reply: "Do you know who the team behind this coin is? Can the technology in the white paper be implemented?" Most of the time, the other party will be stunned.

The deepest pit I fell into these years was chasing a "metaverse concept new coin" in 2021; at the time, the K-line looked bright red, and I thought it was about to "take off", but as soon as I bought it, it dropped, and a week later, the project team simply ran away, leaving me with tens of thousands washed away. Since then, I set a hard rule for myself: only deal with mainstream coins that have dropped too low, and new coins and air coins, I wouldn't touch even if you gave me money.

What does "dropped too low" mean? For example, BTC dropped from $69,000 to $15,000, and it consolidated for half a year without making a new low, that's called dropped too low; ETH dropped from $4,800 to $880, and institutions began to quietly accumulate, that’s called dropped too low. These coins have consensus, applications, and capital support; even if there’s a short-term correction, they won't "disappear into thin air".

I generally operate like this: first, make a small position to test, for example, using 5% of my capital to buy a bit, observe for 1-2 weeks, if it doesn't make a new low and starts to rise slowly, then I gradually add to my position. It may be a bit naive, but in these years, relying on this approach, I have made more money from BTC, ETH, and SOL than those who chase new coins.

3. When others are bottom fishing, I watch the show; only get in the car when the trend is established — spending a bit more on costs is definitely better than getting stuck halfway up the mountain.

"Bottom fishing" has trapped how many people? Last year when LUNA dropped to $10, how many shouted "bottom fishing", only for it to drop to $0.0001; this year when XRP fell to $0.4, someone jumped in, and now they're stuck at $0.5.

I never calculate "where the bottom is", because no one can guess accurately. I only wait for the "trend to establish" — for instance, when the price stabilizes above the 20-day moving average, rises in volume for three consecutive days, and does not drop below the previous low during corrections; at this point, even if it is 10% higher than the "bottom", I dare to add to my position.

Just like this April with DOT, when it rose from $5 to $6, many said, "It has risen too high, wait for a pullback," but I saw it stabilize at the 20-day line with increasing volume, and I directly added to my position. Later DOT rose to $8; those who waited for a "pullback to bottom fish" either missed the boat or chased it at $7, and as a result, I earned more by "spending an extra dollar".

Remember: in the crypto world, "certainty" is 100 times more valuable than "low cost". It's better to spend a little more money to buy a clear upward trend than to jump into an unknown pit for "cheap".

4. Withdraw money every time there’s a rise — cash in hand is the real money; account numbers are just paper.

"How much have you made" is not important; "how much you hold in hand" is what matters. I learned this from an older gentleman in the circle who has survived since 2017, relying on "rising once, withdrawing once."

My own rule: every time my position rises by 30%, I first withdraw the capital; when it rises by another 20%, I take half of the profit; the remaining profit, even if it drops to nothing, I won't care. For example, last year when AVAX rose from $20 to $40, I first withdrew my capital, and when it rose to $50, I transferred half of the profit to my bank card, bought my wife a bag — guess what? Later, AVAX dropped to $30, and I wasn't worried at all, because my cost had already become negative.

A couple of years ago, I helped a friend who lost over 600,000 operate, and he turned around using this trick: he was stuck at ETH 3,000, I told him not to rush to sell, and when it rebounded to 2,500, he should withdraw 100,000 of his capital; when it rose to 3,500, withdraw 200,000 profit. After half a year, not only did he recover the 600,000 loss, but he also earned enough for a family car — he said: "Bro, I finally understand, the numbers in the account, no matter how beautiful, are not as real as the text message from the bank when it hits my account."

Lastly, let me say something heartfelt: the crypto world doesn't lack smart people; it lacks "steady and practical individuals".

Over the years, I've seen too many "geniuses" who could precisely calculate K-line points and predict short-term rises and falls, but most of them ultimately fall due to "not being able to resist" — either making $100,000 and wanting to make $1,000,000, or losing $50,000 and trying to recover with leverage.

The crypto world is like a marathon; it's not about who runs the fastest, but who can reach the finish line. While others chase highs and lows, you wait steadily for the trend; while others are anxious over a 1% fluctuation, you eat when it’s time to eat and sleep when it’s time to sleep; while others treat profits as mere numbers, you quietly transfer money into your bank account — with these few points, you have already won over 80% of people.

Today I'm focusing on these few: ONT, SPK, ONG, SLF, IOST; they are all those that have dropped too low and are starting to rise slowly, aligning with the "steady" strategy. How to operate specifically? Don’t rush, follow me, and we’ll discuss in detail during the evening live session — I will show you how to steadily catch the chips that others have dropped in a panic.

Let’s chat in the comments: how much have you lost because you "couldn't resist"? Speak up, and let's avoid pitfalls together and slowly get rich.
