Many people have been struggling in the crypto world for years, only to end up complaining that the market is too difficult. In fact, the problem is often not the market itself, but the approach.



I spent 58 days turning a debt of 120,000 into a net worth of over 860,000. Now, daily withdrawals are as casual as everyday expenses. Some say it's luck, others think I caught the right wave, and some imply someone guided me. But honestly—these are all excuses.

My method may seem boring, even stupid to the point of being annoying. No thrill of overnight riches, no rush of going all-in on hot trends, not even the passion of following the crowd. But it is precisely this "stupid method" that has allowed me to survive—and do so with ease.

**First: Position must be tightly controlled**

Most people go all-in at the start of a trend, which is deadly. My approach is completely opposite—I only invest 30% of my total funds in any single trade.

The benefit of this is: if I judge incorrectly, my capacity to withstand losses is strong, and my principal remains untouched; if I judge correctly, I still have plenty of chips to add. When the market drops sharply, those who are fully invested lose everything, while I am only lightly injured and can continue trading. Many have already been eliminated in this wave, but I am still in the game.

Position management may sound basic, but fewer than 5% can truly do it. Most understand this principle, but when faced with real market conditions, FOMO breaks their psychological defenses.

**Second: Compound interest must be calculated to the extreme**

I don’t chase big single trades for quick profits, nor do I aim for monthly doubling of returns. My goal is simple—every trade I understand, I aim to make 3%-5%.

Sounds low? But consider the power of compound interest: the first trade earns 3%, the second continues to earn 3% based on the new principal, and so on—one, two, ten trades... the numbers start to become terrifying. In 58 days, I accumulated this way, completely paying off the original debt and even rolling out significant profits.

This process isn’t exciting; it’s quite dull. But because it’s dull, I never relax psychologically, and I double-check every trade. Those chasing overnight riches usually get wiped out by a huge loss in the second month. Stable compounding traders, however, survive in the market.

**Third: Mindset management is the most critical**

The most lethal thing in crypto isn’t just losses, but human nature. When the market hits bottom, panic can cause you to miss the best entry points. When the market soars, greed makes you hold on tightly until it drops back.

My mindset is straightforward: when panicking, I actively look for buy-in opportunities (but strictly follow position rules); when overly excited, I decisively exit (regardless of how high it might go later). Opportunities in crypto are plentiful, but many people fall before dawn.

Psychological resilience is hard to quantify and even harder to teach. But the core is simple: believe that in this market, there will always be the next opportunity, and don’t bet all your chips on this one.

**The method is so simple no one wants to learn**

I’m often asked: How are you positioning recently? What’s the next hot trend? How do I keep up with my rhythm?

I rarely answer in detail because I know—most people listen, then forget, and very few actually implement. Human nature loves complicated stories and hates simple truths. My approach is very straightforward: no gambling on fate, no chasing hot trends, no greed for the last percentage point.

But it’s precisely this straightforwardness that pulled me out of the deepest debt hole.

**If you’re still stuck in the cycle**

If you’re still spinning in the mud of debt, repeatedly losing, the first step isn’t to seek advice on various forums, but to ask yourself: Do I have real execution ability?

Turning things around doesn’t require genius—just controlling your hands, shutting your mouth, and sticking to a simple, stupid method. This path isn’t complicated, nor does it involve profound theories. It’s about position control, compound growth, and mental stability—doing these three things repeatedly, consistently.

It’s so simple that almost everyone can understand it, but so difficult that 99% of people can’t do it. That’s why, in the end, only a few can truly turn things around.

That's right, it's a matter of execution. My biggest lesson is that frequently cutting losses and getting slapped in the face

Basically, it's discipline vs greed. This guy survived while others didn't.

It sounds good, but I really haven't seen many people who can truly stick to a 30% position.

It's another 58-day turnaround story. I see similar ones every time, but only a few actually follow through.
