Last week at the class reunion, someone raised a glass and asked me: "At 33 years old, staying in a hotel for 2000 a night, how have you earned in the crypto world over the past 8 years?"

I didn't say "rely on vision" or "rely on luck"; I just took out my phone to check the transaction records:

"It's all based on a 'three-step' investment strategy. It's a bit clumsy, but it's guaranteed profit."

When I entered the market at 25, I was just like the new beginners now, diving in fully with BTC, only to see my account cut in half during a crash in 2019.

I've used this method for 5 years, growing from hundreds of thousands to millions, with the core being three steps.

The first step is to "test the waters", starting with 20% of 80,000, which is 16,000 to enter the market.

With a light position, even if SOL fluctuates in the short term, I won't feel anxious. Last year, when SOL was at 80 dollars, I first invested 16,000, and later it dropped 5%. A friend advised me to cut my losses, but I wasn't in a hurry at all.

— After all, I only invested a small portion, and I can bear the risk. The most common mistake beginners make is going all in, and this step perfectly keeps the risk at bay.

The second step is to "add to the position", taking the remaining 50%, which is 40,000, and slowly increasing it at the rhythm of "add 10% for every 7% drop".

When SOL dropped to 75 dollars, I added 8,000; when it dropped to 70 dollars, I added another 8,000. By the time I completed the 40,000, my average cost was brought down to 73 dollars, significantly lower than those who entered at a single point. Even if the market continues to fall, I won't panic due to being "stuck"; instead, I can wait for a rebound.

The third step is to "wrap it up", waiting for the trend to stabilize before adding the last 30%.

Last year, when SOL broke through 90 dollars and held steady for 3 days, I finally added the remaining 24,000. This step is the most crucial, as it avoids the risk of "chasing the rise".

When SOL surged to 120 dollars last year, my position entered with this method made nearly 60%, while the beginners who chased the rise in the group ended up losing money due to the pullback.

Now some say my method is "too conservative", but I believe: the hardest part in the crypto world is not finding opportunities, but exercising restraint. Resisting the greed to go all in, and resisting the fear of panicking when the market drops.

I can comfortably stay in a nice hotel, not because I gambled correctly on some market trend, but because this "clumsy method" has helped me avoid pitfall after pitfall.

Newbies shouldn't look down on its simplicity; what can be executed and guarantees profit is true skill. @Yaya丫
