I've been trading coins for over ten years; the first three years were full of losses, racking up 8 million in debt. After self-adjustment, the following seven years have led to financial freedom, stable compound interest, monthly income in seven figures, and annual income in eight figures!
If you are currently losing money trading coins, take a few minutes to read this article, and you will find the answer!
Everyone, take a look at my tearful self-reflection after losing 8 million: I realized one thing: only one type of person gets rich trading coins!
One day in crypto is equivalent to a year in stocks; those who start trading crypto will no longer be interested in stock trading. The all-day trading and unrestricted price fluctuations in crypto fulfill many people's dreams of overnight wealth, which is one of the reasons virtual currencies are so popular. This is also why losses in crypto have become a very normal phenomenon.
Giving a person a fish is not as good as teaching them how to fish. Crypto investors, whether novices or experts, gain not only financial returns but also grow in investment knowledge and experience.

'Foolproof' investment experiment summary: Even novices can earn steadily!
Last January, when I first got into investing, I was confused looking at the K-line charts. A friend sent me a message: 'Don't study anymore; buy 1,000 US dollars' worth of BTC on the 1st of every month, and leave the rest to time.' I half-believed and followed it, experiencing 3 crashes along the way, wanting to cut losses several times, but was pulled back by the phrase 'mechanical execution.'
Today, when I opened my account, I stared at the screen for three minutes — I originally just wanted to test the waters with a small investment, but the returns were enough for a down payment. This investment experiment that started on January 2nd exceeded expectations! So far, the profit has exceeded 300,000 US dollars. I really have to thank perseverance and discipline! Today, I want to share 10 insights from this 'foolproof' experiment, hoping to help more friends!✨
Core conclusion:
'Foolproof' investing allows ordinary people to easily profit in the market! The key is to use simple methods, maintain discipline, and time will reward you!
10 straightforward investment insights
1️⃣ The market has cycles; time is a friend
During the crypto market crash in 2022, there were people in the group shouting 'the bear market knows no end' every day. My colleague Lao Wang sold at the lowest point, while I, who persisted in dollar-cost averaging, found that the same investment allowed me to buy 30% more chips during the trough. The market has its ups and downs; bull markets rely on luck, while bear markets rely on discipline. 'Fools' don't guess tops and bottoms; they simply become friends with time to exchange patience for returns. Just like the seasons, no matter how cold winter is, spring will come. The cycles and fluctuations of the market hide the fairest opportunities; the key is whether you can endure the cold winter.⏳
2️⃣ Dollar-cost averaging is the best choice for ordinary people
My colleague, Lao Li, often boasts about his precise bottom-fishing achievements, but I found that he had 11 'precise' operations in three years, with only 2 truly profitable. Dollar-cost averaging is completely different; you don’t need to time the market perfectly, nor do you need to mythologize market tops. Regular contributions, mechanical execution, with BTC as the foundational guarantee, and other assets can be mixed freely! I’ve set it up to automatically deduct on the 10th of each month, regardless of the price that day, this 'mindless' operation avoids all emotional decision-making pitfalls.
3️⃣ Emotion is the enemy; rules are the weapon
During the crash in March, I watched my account show a 40% loss, my finger hovered over the sell button for half an hour. Finally, I remembered the rule I had set: 'never operate unless you reach the target price,' and I forced myself to hold on. Later, I learned that day was the best buying point of the year. In investing, don't analyze, don't stare at the market, don't panic, and don't be anxious. Set your strategy, execute it strictly, and stay away from emotional interference! It's like a seatbelt in a car; it feels unnecessary at times, but it can save your life at critical moments.
4️⃣ A decline is an opportunity; an increase is a gain
When the market fell below 20,000 dollars last June, I doubled my planned investment amount; everyone around me said I was crazy. But three months later, when the market rebounded, this part of the extra investment directly doubled my returns. When the market falls, add to your position as planned without fear; when the market rises, take profits according to the rules without being greedy. It's like farmers till the land in a drought and harvest in the rainy season; going against natural laws will only result in failure.
5️⃣ Invest with spare cash; an unbeatable mindset
My investment capital comes from my monthly surplus. Even if I lose everything, it won't affect my mortgage and living expenses. This mentality of 'it doesn't matter if I lose everything' allows me to remain steady amidst fluctuations. Only using funds that don't affect my life enables me to have this 'it doesn't matter if I lose everything' mindset. This mindset can help you hold onto big market trends! It's like recharging in a game with spare money; you won't let wins or losses affect your real life and can instead perform at your best.
6️⃣ Simple strategies beat complex analyses
My cousin is a finance master’s degree holder, spending all day analyzing the market with various indicators, yet at the end of the year, his earnings are not even a fraction of mine. Complex trading systems are prone to failure; simple rules are easier to stick to. The greatest principles are the simplest, and less is more! Just like chopping wood with a Swiss Army knife, it's not as effective as using a regular axe; the effectiveness of tools lies not in their complexity but in their suitability for the objective.
7️⃣ Block out noise and think independently
Last November, when the market was in a frenzy, even the security guards in my community were discussing what coins to buy. I remembered the rule: 'when non-professionals start pouring in, trigger profit-taking,' and decisively sold half of my position. Later, the market indeed corrected by 40%. When others panic, you buy; when others are crazy, you sell. Stay away from market noise to protect your profits! It's like in a noisy market, only by covering your ears can you hear your own footsteps clearly.
8️⃣ The key to making money is to 'hold on'
Data shows that over the past five years, BTC has had 1,825 days of sideways movement or decline, and only 95 days of explosive growth, but these 95 days contributed 95% of the profits. I took profits after earning 20% in 2021 and missed out on another 300% increase afterward. 95% of profits come from 5% of the time! Frequent trading and premature profit-taking only lead to missed opportunities. It's like guarding a gold mine while picking up bits of silver every day; true treasure requires patience to wait for.
9️⃣ Getting rich overnight is an accident; compound interest is the right path
A friend made 10 times his money overnight with a meme coin, but lost it all six months later. My investment has an annualized return of only 25%, but after three years of compounding, my principal has increased by 2.5 times. Don't chase overnight riches; steady growth is the way to go. Time will let the magic of compound interest work! It's like a snowball; it might seem insignificant at first, but it gets bigger as it rolls to create an avalanche effect.✨
'Lazy' people are often the winners
Trader Xiao Wang executes dozens of trades every day, paying 50,000 in fees per year, and ultimately lost 100,000. I only executed 4 dollar-cost averages and 2 profit-takings all year, with fees under 500. Frequent trading and chasing trends can easily exhaust people with fees and emotions; while 'lazy' dollar-cost averagers often win without effort! Just like the tortoise and the hare race, seemingly clumsy persistence can lead to the final victory.
The truth about investing
Impetuous 'smart people' lose money with complex methods, while 'fools' earn smiles with simple dollar-cost averaging! This experiment proves: persist in buying at low points, sell according to the rules at high points, and the market will naturally reward you! Investing is not about who is smarter, but who is more disciplined. Just like a marathon, what eliminates most people is not stamina, but the thought of giving up midway.
Wealth will ultimately flow to those who deserve it! Those who can control their desires, uphold their principles, and endure loneliness are the ones who will stand out through the sieve of time.
Novices can also get started!
Want to try dollar-cost averaging? Start today, use spare cash, set strategies, and maintain discipline; your future self will thank your current decision. Remember, investing is not an IQ competition, but a human nature training. When you can execute simple rules like a machine, wealth will naturally knock on your door.
Finally, let me share a saying: Do complex things simply, do simple things repeatedly, and do repetitive things with heart — this is the entirety of the 'foolproof' investment secret.
I used a set of 'anti-human nature' strategies to earn over 37,000 US dollars in profits for 13 consecutive days. The novices didn't understand, but those who followed my method all turned around!
You might think at first glance that this is just a bluff, but that's okay; I don't expect everyone to understand right away. Because this logic is too counterintuitive and too against human nature!
I relied on it to pull dozens of fans on the brink of liquidation back from the edge of loss, step by step, onto the path of doubling.
Directly get the dry goods without wasting words:
First rule: Position is alive, it's not a bet.
Where do most people lose? Full positions + no stop-loss + betting on rises and falls, resulting in being wiped out by a single move. What I do with people is not gambling; it's a three-step process of controlling positions, adding on floating profits, and locking positions.
Entering a trade is not a one-shot deal, but a three-phase rolling strategy; achieve this, and your win rate will soar to 70%+.
Second rule: Look at the structure, not the price points.
You're glued to the 5-minute K-line prices, while I'm looking at the turning points of structure. You see five consecutive green candles and chase the highs; I directly open a short position to capture the retracement because a smooth rise is the biggest risk.
Structural inertia creates momentum. Short-term bursts rely not on luck but on foresight. You think bulls are entering, but I've already completed a round.
Third rule: Set the rhythm, don’t predict.
The market never lacks direction; what it lacks is a sense of rhythm. Those who guess the direction often fail; those who grasp the rhythm seize the entire segment.
Before I place trades daily, I only do two things:
1. Find the 'signal zone' where the main force acts
2. Pre-emptively embed your entry points, hitting the blowout points for direct profit
One of my fans, a 90s novice with a debt of 30,000, started with 1,800 US dollars and made it to 27,000 US dollars in 30 days.
There are also experienced traders who have been liquidated five times, but by following the rhythm, they quadrupled their investment in a month, boosting their confidence.
It's not a story; it's method + execution + avoiding human nature mistakes!
While you’re still relying on emotions to trade, I’ve turned the model into a system! It's okay to get liquidated, but don’t gamble on luck to recover.
Those who understand have already gotten on board with me! Saying more is not as effective as making one correct move.
Starting now might just be the turning point for you!
The core of making money in the crypto space is: Hold onto good coins steadily! (Opinion: For truly promising value coins, holding long-term is often more effective than frequent trading. Of course, this is contingent on 'good coins.')
To trade, you must always maintain a mindset above 80% so as to be less affected by emotions. Only those who have been through it know how difficult it is to trade under the pressure of monthly loan repayments. I had cut off all my escape routes; it was truly a case of succeed or perish.
If I could earn enough from my job to cover my loan payments, I wouldn't take the path of full-time trading.
Just look at my experience through the lens of survivor bias; I genuinely believe that if you are excellent enough and work hard, you will also excel in many other industries with the same determination.
