Your "dumbest" way of trading cryptocurrencies might actually be the most profitable.
What I've stuck to over the past few years is this seemingly low-tech "foolproof method".
In the first few years after entering the market, I also experimented: high-frequency trading, bottom fishing, chasing trends to invest in new coins...
After losing to the point of numbness, I finally understood: the most stable and profitable methods are usually the most boring.
My three-step "dumb method":
1️⃣ Only buy mainstream coins, don't touch air coins.
Choosing coins is about selecting the lower limit of risk.
I only look at BTC, ETH—these are the varieties that can withstand cycles.
No matter how hot or trendy a new model is, if I don't understand it, I won't touch it.
Don’t use your hard-earned money to provide liquidity for others.
2️⃣ Focus on regular investments, don't look at short-term fluctuations.
Invest regularly at a fixed time each week, regardless of whether the price goes up or down.
Buy a little more when the price drops, and don't chase when the price rises.
Treat the crypto market like a savings account, extend the investment period, and your mind will naturally be at ease.
3️⃣ Set profit and loss limits in advance, and stay inactive.
Define your strategy in advance, and execute it when triggered.
Then uninstall the app, don’t watch the market, and avoid emotional trading.
Last year's bull market, I didn't sell at the peak, but I successfully avoided the crash—that's enough.
Why does the "dumb method" work effectively?
Reduce anxiety: You don't have to watch the market every day, no need to guess tops and bottoms.
Control risk: Regular investments smooth out costs, not chasing trends means you won't get cut.
Build assets: Regular investments are essentially forced savings; after several cycles, it becomes a principal amount.
Of course, this method is not suitable for everyone.
If you pursue quick money and enjoy the thrill of frequent trading—
This method will make you feel "too slow and too boring".
But if you don’t want to be educated by the market anymore, and don’t want to engage in emotional trading:
Try this simple, dumb, yet extremely effective way.
Slowly becoming wealthy is the true path to guaranteed success.
