Sometimes making money in the crypto world isn't that complicated; it's just that most people try too hard to be smart.
I used to be like that, staring at K-lines every day, fixating on indicators, staying up all night studying RSI and MACD. So what if I understood it? The next day, I would still chase the highs and get harvested.
Then I met an older guy who told me a phrase I've remembered ever since: "Don't think of yourself as a trader; we are here to make money, not to take exams."
At first, I didn't believe it until I started using his particularly "old-fashioned" method — building positions in batches, not going all in, not chasing tops, and not guessing bottoms. I never expected this method would help me grow my 200,000 capital to an eight-figure sum.
It's not about striking it rich, nor about the myth of getting wealthy quickly, but simply relying on one word: stability.
Now many people still trade based on feelings; a bullish candle gets them excited, a pullback makes them panic, completely lacking rhythm.
You ask me how I trade now? It's simple: if I understand it, I go in; if I don't, I stay out. I separate capital and profit, finish one wave and take a break, then wait for the next wave.
To be honest, there have always been opportunities in the market; it just depends on whether you can survive until that time.
