In this highly volatile market, being neither greedy nor impatient can lead to going further.
I know an old crypto friend, whom I've known for many years but have never seen chase market trends. For six years, he turned a capital of 500,000 into 48,000,000, settled in Shenzhen at the age of 39, opened a small design studio, and owns two apartments, living particularly transparently.
What is the secret to his success? It's not relying on big players for trades, avoiding those flashy air coins, and entirely based on a set of investment principles of 'not being greedy or impatient'.
Today, I will share with you some core principles that have allowed me to move steadily in the crypto space, based on my own experience.
1. Be patient and wait for trend confirmation, avoiding market traps
'Slow rises and small falls can be held onto, while rapid rises and falls should be escaped quickly' — this is an important standard I observe for distinguishing healthy trends from market traps.
A healthy market trend always advances steadily, while sharp rises and falls often signal traps. When prices rise slowly with minor pullbacks, it indicates a solid market foundation; however, when there are steep increases or cliff-like drops, it usually means large funds are manipulating the market, attracting retail investors to follow and then getting cut.
My approach is: focus on trend analysis at the 4-hour or daily level, avoiding confusion from short-term fluctuations. Once abnormal fluctuations are detected, exit and observe immediately, without hesitation. Remember, there are always opportunities in the market; preserving capital is the priority.
2. Beware of excessive marketing and make rational judgments about project value
Any project that requires crazy shouting for orders is not worth your investment.
Truly valuable projects do not require brainwashing marketing. They attract long-term investors naturally with solid technical foundations, clear roadmaps, and active community ecosystems. Those who brag about 'hundredfold returns' and 'guaranteed profits' are often designed as Ponzi schemes to quickly pump and dump.
I always adhere to one principle: only invest in projects I can understand. Deeply research the project's technical advantages, founding team background, and practical application scenarios, rather than being swayed by price trends and marketing rhetoric.
3. Strict capital management, never operate with a full position
Leaving room allows you to survive in this market for a long time.
I always insist that a single trade's risk does not exceed 10% of total capital, and I stop trading if daily losses reach 15%-20% to avoid emotional over-leveraging. More importantly, I will never operate with a full position and always keep a considerable proportion (usually 70%) of reserve funds.
Doing this has two benefits: on one hand, when extreme market conditions occur, you have ammunition to buy at low prices; on the other hand, it avoids a total collapse due to a single wrong judgment. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile; a full position can lead to total exit with one misstep.
4. Realize profits in a timely manner, secure what you have
The cryptocurrency market is ever-changing; today's profits may go to zero tomorrow.
An important habit I have developed is: whenever the account's floating profit reaches a certain percentage, I withdraw some profits first. This approach does not imply a lack of confidence in the market, but rather a rational response to market volatility. The cryptocurrency market operates 24 hours a day, with severe fluctuations and frequent unexpected events; only by truly putting profits into your wallet can it be considered your money.
My personal strategy is: after profits exceed 100%, first withdraw 50% of the principal and some profits, allowing the remaining funds to continue rolling. This way, you neither miss out on further opportunities nor compromise the safety of your principal.
5. Stick to your circle of competence, do not touch projects you do not understand
Do not be a bag holder, only earn within your understanding.
Whenever I see a token surge several times within a short period, and I completely do not understand its value support, I choose to give up on that 'opportunity.' History has repeatedly shown that investors who chase after rising prices often end up as bag holders.
There are thousands of tokens in the cryptocurrency market, and new hot concepts emerge daily. However, those that truly bring long-term stable returns are still the projects you deeply understand and believe in their value. For me, mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum remain core holdings because they have solid technical foundations and broad community consensus.
Conclusion: Stability is the fastest shortcut
In the cryptocurrency market, even in the best conditions, some people still incur losses, and even in the worst conditions, some people still make profits. What determines how far you can go is not luck, but your patience and discipline to wait one more step for 'stability'.
After years of trials and tribulations, I deeply realize that in this highly volatile market, stability is the fastest shortcut. Do not be swayed by short-term wealth stories; adhere to your investment principles and manage risks well to continuously accumulate wealth through bull and bear markets.
