How I survived the crash using 'anti-human nature operations'.
People often ask me: 'Can you still make money in the crypto space?'
I won't beat around the bush: from 2021 to 2023, during that market wave, my account steadily reached an 8-digit number. Now I live in the second ring of Beijing, and I go to drink tea with my senior in the first ring every week; my life is more relaxed than most 80s who are busy with real businesses.
But if you ask me for the secret? I really don't have one. It's all based on a method called '253 Positioning Method'—this clumsy technique has helped me earn volatility dividends for 6 years, specifically treating the addiction to chasing highs and cutting losses.
1. Why do most people lose money? Because human nature always loves to do the opposite.
I've seen too many people: rushing in during a bull market, cursing when it drops 10%, and feeling like a stock god when it rises 20%. What’s the result? A wave of correction directly wipes them out.
The biggest pitfall in the crypto world is not the market, but the mindset. For example:
Greed rears its head: wanting to go all in as soon as it rises, panicking and cutting losses as soon as it falls;
Blindly following the trend: Hearing that a certain altcoin is about to skyrocket, immediately rushing in to buy;
Refusing to cut losses: stubbornly holding onto losses leads to small losses turning into liquidation.
I've made all these mistakes. Later, I realized that the essence of making money is to make fewer mistakes. The '253 Position Building Method' forces you to avoid these pitfalls.
2. My core weapon: '253 Position Building Method' practical breakdown
Take $100,000 as an example for trading BTC (newbies are advised to start with mainstream coins, avoid altcoins):
Step one: 20% exploratory position - light investment to test the waters, maintain initiative
First, allocate $20,000 for position building; don’t panic if it drops, and don’t get overly excited if it rises.
Key role: Prevent you from getting overly eager. The crypto market is volatile; once fully invested and trapped, it's easy to break down psychologically.
My experience: This 20% position is an 'observation post' used to test the market temperature. For example, when BTC is sideways at $30,000, I first buy 20%, and if it falls below $28,000, I cut losses without holding on stubbornly.
Step two: 50% bottom-fishing - adding positions in batches to lower costs
Don’t invest the remaining $50,000 all at once, but rather add $10,000 every time it drops by 8% (for example, if it falls to $27,000, add $10,000, then if it falls to $25,000, add another $10,000).
Mathematical advantage: The more you average down on costs, the easier it is to break even during rebounds.
Anti-human nature design: Ordinary people want to run when prices drop; this strategy forces you to buy more as prices fall. But the premise is to choose mainstream coins (BTC/ETH), as altcoins might go to zero.
Step three: 30% decisive victory - increase positions after confirming the trend
Finally, wait for $30,000 when the trend is clear to act: For example, if BTC breaks above the previous high and doesn’t drop for three days, it indicates that the trend has truly arrived, then chase in and ride the major upward wave.
Prevent selling too early: Many people sell as soon as there's a slight rise, resulting in missed gains later. Keep 30% position to allow you to hold onto profits.
3. Why can this method survive? The key is 'anti-human nature'
Restrain greed: Ordinary people always want to make a lot in one go, but the 253 method forces step-by-step operation; it makes money slowly but also dies slowly.
Utilize volatility: Daily fluctuations of 5%-20% are normal in the crypto world. The 253 method turns volatility into a friend - if it drops, you have the money to add; if it rises, you have positions to profit.
Protect your principal: The biggest risk is not losing money but losing so much that you have no capital left to recover. The 253 method ensures you always have ammunition.
For example, in May this year, BTC dropped from $60,000 to $52,000, and many people faced liquidation. I used the 253 method to add positions at $55,000, and when it rebounded to $62,000, my profits actually increased - the risks were absorbed, while profits stayed in the account.
4. Hardcore advice for newbies: Don’t overestimate luck, and don’t underestimate discipline.
Only play mainstream coins: BTC, ETH, BNB are large market caps with low risk of crashing. No matter how many stories altcoins have, don’t go in heavy.
Cutting losses is more important than taking profits: Set a hard stop-loss (for example, sell if a single loss exceeds 5%), and don’t fall in love with the market.
Look less at the charts and learn more: Staring at K-lines every day can easily lead to a psychological explosion. It’s better to spend time studying white papers and cycles.
Finally, let’s talk some real talk
There are no gods in the crypto world, only veterans who survive. I can make money not because I predict accurately, but because I admit I could be wrong - hence, I always diversify positions and keep options open.
If newbies want to test the waters, remember: slow is fast. Practicing with the 253 method for a year is better than blindly struggling for three years. After all, surviving in this market is much more important than getting rich overnight.
