After years in the crypto world, I’ve come to a conclusion—those who truly survive are never relying on luck.

I’ve also gone through that period of blind reckless trading. When the market moves, I couldn’t help but go all-in, quick hands, high emotions, and the result often ended in a crash. I’ve stepped on countless pits—lessons learned with real money.

Later, I realized one thing: making money isn’t about having a complicated trading method; rather, simplifying the logic to the extreme ensures that execution won’t go off course.

**About Coin Selection**

Now I only focus on active assets. They must meet three conditions—have risen before, have popularity, and have trading volume. This indicates that there is genuine capital willing to enter the market, not obscure coins with no interest. Coins that have been sideways for a long time, no matter how cheap, I won’t touch. Buying them is just testing patience, which is pointless.

**About Cycles**

I ignore short-term noise altogether. I only watch the bigger trend; if there’s no clear trend, I simply stay out of the market and wait. Especially those oversold rebound opportunities—I’ve long given up gambling on them—win rates are too low, problems are bound to happen eventually.

**About Entry and Exit**

It’s actually very simple once you’re in—just watch one key line. Hold when the price is above it; exit immediately if it breaks below. No need for explanations, no hesitation. There’s no point in earning money just to give it back for face.

I also pay attention to taking profits. When the price hits the target, take some off first to reduce risk, let the remaining run for more profit. If the market turns bad, exit everything. There are plenty of opportunities you can’t take advantage of, but locking in gains is the real number.

**The Most Core Change**

I’ve completely given up the fantasy of turning things around overnight. The market offers opportunities every day, but your capital only has one life. Sticking to discipline and controlling emotions will actually take you further.

In the crypto world, they’re not afraid of slow progress—they’re afraid of chaos. The simpler the method, the easier it is to stick with long-term. Those who can keep following the same rhythm tend to go the farthest. Ultimately, those who survive and profit in the market are always those willing to give up illusions first and diligently follow the rules.
