A crash is an opportunity, it only comes to those who are prepared.
Friends, last night's crash must have scared a lot of people, right? My phone was almost blown up with questions: 'Can I still hold BNB?' 'Should I cut my losses now?'
Looking at these panicked questions, I remembered myself three years ago. In the bear market of 2022, BNB was halved and then halved again from its peak, and everywhere in the market were voices saying 'Binance is done' and 'BNB is going to zero.'
That's when I started dollar-cost averaging into BNB.
I remember after I bought in for the first time, BNB dropped another 20%, and I couldn't sleep all night, fearing that the money I worked hard for would go down the drain. But looking back now, it was one of the best decisions of my life.
After three years, I no longer work a 9 to 5 job; I live off the passive income from BNB accumulated through regular investments, enjoying a life of time freedom. I'm not here to show off today, but to share my personal experience with you: don't panic during sharp declines, master the methods, and ordinary people can change their fate in the crypto world.
Regular investment is not mindless investment, but a strategic way to 'pick up bargains'.
Many people think that regular investment just means buying a fixed amount regularly, which is correct, but to maximize returns, one must also strategize. After three years of practice, I've summarized three super practical methods:
1. Benchmark Investment Method: Ignore fluctuations and invest on time.
This is the cornerstone of my strategy. I invest 500 yuan on Wednesdays without fail. If the market rises to 600U, I invest 500. If it drops to 200U, I still invest 500. The benefit of this method is that it automatically achieves 'buying less at high prices and more at low prices'.
A friend asked me why Wednesday and not Monday. In fact, the specific date doesn't matter; what matters is regularity. Just like the bank's zero-deposit savings, the key is to develop a habit and make investing a part of life, rather than always thinking, 'I'll wait for the lowest point to buy.'
2. Dipping Down Investment Method: When others are fearful, I am greedy.
I set several key price levels: if it falls below 300U, double the investment; if it falls below 200U, triple the investment; if it falls below 100U, go all in. This method allowed me to collect a large amount of low-priced chips from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023.
I remember once BNB fell 20% in a single day, and the group was in despair, but I was excited to execute my buying plan. A sharp decline is not a risk but an opportunity for a discount. Of course, this requires sufficient cash flow and strong psychological resilience.
3. Trend Assistance Method: The moving average tells me whether to be greedy or cautious.
I mainly look at two indicators: EMA100 and EMA200. When the price approaches or falls below EMA200, I will appropriately increase the investment amount; when the price is far above the moving average, I will maintain normal investment.
This helped me avoid excessive investment at the peak in early 2024 and allowed me to be brave enough to increase my positions at the lows in 2023. Technical indicators are not used for predictions but to establish discipline.
Why is BNB worth long-term investment? The truth is here.
I choose to invest in BNB rather than other cryptocurrencies based on several key considerations:
BNB has real uses and demand. You need BNB to pay fees on Binance, to operate on the BSC chain, and to participate in Launchpad, which all create rigid demand.
BNB has a deflationary mechanism. Binance will use profits to buy back and destroy BNB every quarter until the total supply is reduced from 200 million to 100 million. This means the value of each BNB will increase over time.
BNB has already surpassed being just a simple exchange token, developing into the 'fuel' for the entire BNB chain ecosystem. As the ecosystem expands, the demand for BNB will only increase.
Of course, I must confess: investing in BNB also carries risks. Regulatory changes, increased competition, technical security issues, etc., can all affect prices. So I never recommend putting all your money in, and I strongly oppose borrowing to invest.
Mindset determines the success or failure of regular investment: my three insights.
1. Regular investment is 'planting trees', not 'grabbing money'.
I've seen too many people invest this week, check the returns next week, and give up after a month without any increase. Regular investment is a long-term project and should at least be viewed over a 3-5 year period.
I set a minimum period of three years for myself, during which I stick to it regardless of fluctuations. In fact, what really made me a lot of money were those shares accumulated quietly during the bear market.
2. A sharp decline is your friend, not your enemy.
When the market falls, the same amount of money can buy more BNB. This means that when the market warms up, these low-priced chips will bring exceptional returns.
If you stop investing because of a decline, you are violating the original intention of regular investment—to average costs.
3. No need to pursue buying at the lowest point.
No one can precisely predict the market bottom. The charm of regular investment lies in the fact that you don't need to be a market expert; you just need discipline and patience.
I've bought BNB at prices ranging from over 100U to over 600U, but over the long term, my average cost is far below the current market price, which is the magic of regular investment.
Is the current sharp decline a crisis or an opportunity?
A friend asked me if it's still possible to start investing in BNB now. My view is:
For investors, any time is a good time because regular investment itself is a strategy to cope with market uncertainty.
If you start now, you might consider using a strategy that combines 'benchmark investment + dipping down investment'. First, set a basic amount for regular investment while planning how much to add and at what points if it continues to decline.
Remember a few key principles:
Only invest spare money, ensuring that even if I lose everything, it won't affect my life;
Stick to long-termism; the longer the investment duration, the more pronounced the cost-averaging effect.
Stay calm and don't let market emotions skew your plan.
Volatility in the crypto world is common knowledge, but it's also this volatility that creates opportunities. When I first started investing in 2022, I couldn't have imagined that three years later, I could live freely off passive income.
Making money in a bull market and accumulating coins in a bear market—this is the wisdom of regular investors.
Finally, I want to share a saying that supported me through the bear market: 'The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now.' Investing is the same; don't wait until it rises to regret it.
I hope my sharing inspires you! Of course, the above is just a personal experience and does not constitute investment advice. The market has risks, and investment should be cautious.
