I’m 27 today, and I’ve been in crypto since I was 22. Over these 5 years, I’ve seen pumps, crashes, rug pulls, and hype cycles. I’ve seen friends make millions and lose it all within months.
But here’s the truth: I didn’t get rich by being the smartest trader in the room.
I made money by following one “boring” formula that I call the 3-4-3 Method 📊
Sounds silly? Maybe. But boring > exciting when it comes to survival in this market.

Step 1 (First 3): Start Small, Stay Calm 🧊
If I had $120,000 capital, I’d never go all-in.
I’d start with just $30–36k. That’s it.
Why? Because smaller positions = less stress, better control, and no sleepless nights.

Step 2 (The 4): Scale In With Logic 🔁
Instead of gambling, I scale with rules:
Market going up? Wait for a dip, then add.
Market going down? For every 10% drop, I add another 10%.
This way, my total exposure slowly grows to 40%, while averaging the entry price. I don’t fight volatility — I use it.

Step 3 (Final 3): Go Heavy Only When Clear 🚀
The last 30% I keep reserved for the big confirmation.
When the market shows a strong and clear trend, that’s when I load up.
It feels boring, but it keeps my wins clean and my losses minimal.

Most traders blow up chasing shortcuts and hype. I just stuck with this “dumb” 3-4-3 rhythm. No greed. No panic. Just patience and discipline.
And that’s why today I can live comfortably, while many are still stuck in a cycle of wins and wipeouts.
👉 Sometimes the smartest move in crypto is to stay “boring.”
