As someone who has lost money by chasing highs and lows in cryptocurrency trading, I now steadily earn my first bucket of gold through 'dollar-cost averaging + not touching contracts.' I sincerely advise beginners not to complicate cryptocurrency trading too much!
Why should beginners avoid contracts and short-term trading?
When I first started, I followed others in short-term trading, staring at the screen until dawn and making frequent trades. As a result, I lost a lot to fees and my principal; I was tempted by posts about 'making quick money' with contract leverage, but thankfully I didn’t follow the trend — I later learned that contracts come with high leverage, and if the direction is wrong, it could lead to liquidation. Beginners simply cannot control the risks, and short-term trading relies more on luck than skill. Ordinary people really cannot compete with the market.
My minimalist dollar-cost averaging strategy
Choose the right targets: only invest in mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum that have strong consensus and long-term value, avoid small-cap 'air coins', ensuring maximum safety.
Fixed cycle + amount: fixed 20+30u daily, do not watch the market, do not get caught up in 'buying at the low', to avoid emotional trading.
Long-term holding without fuss: only check returns once a year after dollar-cost averaging, regardless of price fluctuations, do not sell during downturns, and instead bought a lot more at lower prices.
The surprises dollar-cost averaging has given me (real data)
I have held positions for over a year now, with a return rate of 40%+, much better than funds and wealth management! More importantly, I don't have to watch the market, which doesn't affect my work and life, keeping my mindset super stable.
3 must-see reminders for beginners to avoid pitfalls
Do not invest living expenses or emergency funds; only use 'spare money' for trading coins, so even if there are losses, it won't affect your life.
Do not join any 'signal groups'; no one can predict the market 100%, following others will likely lead to losses.
Remember that 'slow is fast'; dollar-cost averaging earns money from long-term trends, don't think about getting rich overnight.
Monthly dollar-cost averaging has become a habit; I can make money without overthinking, highly recommend it to beginners like me! What experiences do you have with trading coins? Let's chat in the comments～#定投比特币
