I have seen too many people rush into the cryptocurrency market with their savings, treating K-line charts like lottery tickets and leverage as shortcuts, only to slap their thighs in despair when facing liquidation; I have also personally verified: those who shout 'get rich overnight' mostly die before dawn, while I relied on a 'counterintuitive dumb method' to turn 8000U into six figures, with a five-year profit rate never dropping below 85%. The real logic of making money in the crypto world has always been hidden in 'slowness'.
Let me douse you with cold water first: don't believe the nonsense that 'you can make money just by watching K-line charts'. I realized this after being liquidated three times; the K-line is a 'beauty trap' drawn by the main players for retail investors, and the real trump card is hidden in the flow of funds. Every morning, the first thing I do is not to stare at the charts, but to check the movements of core addresses: who is quietly increasing their positions? Who is running away overnight? Who is playing dead and waiting for a lift? A drop in coin price is not scary; what’s scary is when 'smart money' collectively gives up. As long as they are still around, I dare to try small positions; if they leave, I run faster than a rabbit.
Sharing my ultimate 'lazy person guaranteed profit three axes', even beginners can avoid 80% of the pitfalls by following these:
The first axe: position adjustment, refuse 'gambling transactions'
I've never tried to go all in; even for the best opportunities, I will divide them into three parts: the first part is a small trial (10% of the position), if the direction is right, I will increase the position (30%), and if profits exceed 15%, I will lock in 50% - always cut losses at 2%, if wrong, run immediately, never 'get involved' with the market. I've seen too many people holding onto the fantasy of 'just hold on a little longer for a rebound', going from a 2% loss to losing all their principal. Remember: those who 'can't bear to cut small losses' in the crypto world will eventually be cut big.
The second axe: be a 'reverse person', but don't be a 'reckless fool'
When the market is at its most lively, I'm liquidating; when everyone is shouting 'it's over, it's going to zero', I'm watching the market. Last year, after LUNA's crash, the whole network was wailing, but I was watching the capital flow and found that the main forces were quietly accumulating. I entered with a small position, and two weeks later, I took profit and exited - panic is the best entry signal, but don't be the first fool to rush in. Wait for the 'explosion of voices' to calm down a bit before taking action.
The third axe: understand the rules before taking action, don't be a 'contract guinea pig'
People who can't tell the difference between isolated margin and full margin should not use leverage; liquidation is just a matter of time. My advice to beginners is this: first, understand isolated margin. Isolated margin is 'sacrificing a pawn to save the king', if you invest 500U, you can only lose 500U at most, which won't affect your entire account; full margin is 'the whole family goes down together', when the market goes against you, the system will use all your money to 'extend your life', and in the end, both principal and profits will be wiped out - don't think full margin has a 'high tolerance', for beginners, using full margin is no different from running naked through a minefield.
Here are a few iron rules I exchanged blood for, if you can't remember them, just copy them into your memo:
If you have little capital, don't be greedy: focus on one quality coin within 100,000, research its fundamentals thoroughly, it's more reliable than buying a bunch of random air coins;
Cutting losses is not admitting defeat, it's about survival: I've seen the most stubborn retail investors hold onto a 40% loss waiting for a rebound, and in the end, their accounts are left with just a little - learn to cut losses, and you've already won half of the retail investors;
Don't blindly trust 'bottom fishing': there are basements below the bottom, and there are eighteen layers of hell in the basement. Without clear capital signals, any low price is a trap.
To be honest: the crypto world has never been a playground for 'smart people', but an ATM for 'those who can stay calm'. I've seen too many gifted players fall due to greed, and I've also seen ordinary people slowly make money through clumsy methods. The key is not how much you understand technology, but how well you can control yourself.
