$FOLKS Most people think that making money from trading cryptocurrencies relies on luck, talent, and intelligence.
However, I increasingly believe that what truly determines the outcome is whether the method can survive in the long run.
A real case — last year, an old friend turned 50,000 U into 6 million.
It wasn't about hitting a lucky break or gambling recklessly.
He simply followed the rules, step by step, enduring the passage of time.
His fundamental difference from most people is that he does not seek to get rich quickly; he seeks to survive.
He never goes all-in, even in a hot market, he risks at most one-fifth of his capital.
Some laugh at him for being slow, but he can be wrong five times in a row without collapsing,
and on the sixth time, he can recover all previous losses when the wind is favorable.
Many, however, go all-in, and when the direction changes in three minutes, both their accounts and emotions crash.
If the direction is wrong, effort is useless.
He only trades with the trend, never bottom-fishing or trying to pick tops.
Earning a little less is fine; trading against the trend is the real pitfall.
When there’s a sudden spike, he remains calm, saying, "A surge doesn’t mean opportunity; oftentimes it signifies liquidation."
I didn’t believe it until I was buried multiple times chasing after spikes, finally understanding the weight of this statement.
In terms of methodology, he relies on rules rather than feelings.
He adds to his position only when there’s a MACD golden cross; he reduces his position on a death cross.
When there are no signals, he prefers to turn off his computer and watch dramas.
Others say that’s too boring, but he consistently maintains stable profits.
He named that stage: waiting for the money to come.
Reviewing his trades is the accelerator of all his growth.
For each trade, he writes down the reasons for entering and the logic for exiting.
If he’s wrong, he looks for the cause; if he’s right, he summarizes the structure.
It’s not about proving how accurate he is, but rather about not making the same mistake again.
Many people make their first profit by luck; he relies on reviews to turn luck into skill.
That friend made me thoroughly understand one thing —
The market does not reward short-lived bursts; it only rewards long-term discipline.
If you can endure, stay steady, and reflect, your win rate will gradually tilt in your favor.
The crypto world isn’t about who’s more ruthless; it’s about who can stay at the table longer.
As long as you’re still in the game, there will be a day when you win.
I was once that person stumbling in the dark, but now, the light is in my hands, and it’s always shining. Will you join me!
