For many years struggling with the cryptocurrency market, I am often asked by friends a familiar question: “In the end, does crypto help you make money?”

My answer has always been very straightforward.

Compared to the time when I used to work for a salary, my assets have truly taken a leap that is life-changing. My investment account has long surpassed the seven-digit mark. Compared to my old life, this is no longer a small improvement, but a significant transformation.

Not Genius or Lucky, Just Paying Enough Price

Many people are curious: "How do you do that?"

The truth is I don't have any special talent, nor did I hit the lucky jackpot. What I have is experience gained through countless mistakes, paying expensive tuition, and gradually deriving the most practical strategy for myself.

If newcomers apply these principles, they can avoid many detours and painful unnecessary crashes.

Real-Life Example: How to Invest in ETH with 10 Million VND

Let's take ETH — a popular coin — as an example. Suppose you have 10 million VND to invest, I will divide this process into 3 clear steps.

Step 1: Use 20% to "Test the Waters"

First, use only 20% of your capital, equivalent to 2 million VND, to place an order.

The purpose of entering with a small position is not to make immediate profits, but to maintain a stable mindset. When the market fluctuates, you won't be stressed or panicked like those who went "all-in" from the start and lost sleep over small ups and downs.

Keeping a cool head is the biggest advantage of those who survive in crypto for a long time.

Step 2: 50% Capital to Increase Position According to Plan

The next capital part, the remaining 50% (5 million VND), is used to split and buy in each phase.

  • If the price goes up: don’t rush to chase, patiently wait for corrections before buying more.

  • If the price goes down: for every time the price drops about 7%, you invest an additional 10% of the total expected position.

This method helps you:

  • Average cost price over time

  • Avoid falling into the situation of "buying at the peak"

  • Not getting stuck deep just because of choosing the wrong initial timing

The market can fluctuate however it wants, you always have a plan in place.

Step 3: Use the Last 30% When the Trend is Clear

When ETH shows a more stable trend — for example, breaking through an important resistance zone and not being pulled back immediately — only then invest the final 30% of the capital (3 million VND).

This is the phase of "trend confirmation", not prediction. You don't need to buy at the bottom, just buy when the probability of winning tilts in your favor. The entire process of building a position happens slowly, with a plan, without haste.

"Silly Strategy" But Survives Long

Many people in the crypto market always look for shortcuts: chasing peaks, continuously cutting losses, changing strategies daily, and ultimately their accounts are left with a zero balance.

My strategy may seem "slow", "dumb", even boring at first glance. But it’s that discipline and patience that helps me stand firm through market storms without being swept away.

In crypto, it's not the one who runs the fastest that wins — but the one who survives the longest.
