The K-line in the world of cryptocurrency is like the tide rising and falling in the late night. Some people stare at the big waves for a moment, hoping to collect gold and jewels, but in the end, even the paddle is swept away.

Meanwhile, some people patiently wait for dawn, gradually picking up the shells that the tide has left behind. It is this stability and certainty that is the 'invisible profit code' for the majority of investors.

In reality, there are plenty of clear examples:

  • DOT increased by more than 10%, then continued to break through to 20%.

  • SOL after surpassing 206 had a correction phase, creating an accumulation opportunity, then providing stable profits over 20%.

With the principle of discipline, with only 10,000 USDT, investors can earn more than 2,000 USDT from these waves. If combined with risk hedging with small positions, the actual profit can be even higher. In fact, just catching one wave in a month, the annual results are still very promising. The core is to maintain stability and persistence.

On the contrary, many people choose the high-risk path:

  • Open a 20x position with 1,000 USDT → liquidated.

  • Increase to 50x with 2,000 USDT → continue to be liquidated.
    The result is not only the loss of capital but also incurring a large debt, forgetting the original purpose of making money, not 'experiencing hardship'.

Optimal strategy for long-term survival

A simple but sustainable principle:

  1. Divide capital into two parts:

    • 90% invested in spot (immediate), focusing on the top 50 coins by market cap, with liquidity and a clear story. In the long run, the win rate is almost certain.

    • 10% allocated for contracts, only using a maximum of 5x leverage, and only participating when the market intersects with a strong upward trend of spot. The goal is not to 'flip the script', but just to 'season' the profits.

  2. Risk control:

    • If there are losses, the maximum loss is only 10%.

    • The principal capital is still safe, the market is still there, and there will still be new opportunities next month.

Conclusion

In the crypto market, large profits do not come from luck, but from stable thinking, risk control, and patience. Knowing how to allocate reasonably, holding the principal capital tightly, and viewing contracts as supplementary tools, investors will not only survive but also develop sustainably in the long term.
