At 38 years old, I have been rooted in the crypto world for 8 years, from the year I turned 30 when I dove into the crypto market to now. During this time, I have seen many scenes—cheering during market surges, screams during waterfall declines, and countless dreams of getting rich overnight shattered, with many people leaving in disappointment.
Some friends ask me if I made over 60 million through talent, and others say I am lucky. Honestly, neither is true. What truly sustains my steady profits in this unpredictable market is a very simple "343 Investment Strategy." It’s so simple that it might seem a bit foolish, but this straightforward logic can help you avoid most pitfalls.
Taking Bitcoin as an example, I will break down the entire methodology in detail.
**First Move: Start with 30% Position, Small Steps Are the Key**
For example, I have 120,000 available for investment. Never think about going all-in at once—that’s not investing, that’s gambling. My first step is always to invest only 30%, which is 36,000. Why? Not because I want to earn less, but to stay rational. With a small position, your unrealized gains and losses won’t blow your mind. When the market rises, you won’t get overly excited and chase the high; when it falls, you won’t panic and cut your position. This approach leaves enough room for adjustments in subsequent operations, keeping risk under control.
**Second Move: Add to 40% Position in Batches, Averaging Down Without Fear of Volatility**
Once the initial position is set, it’s time to add more. If the market is rising, I won’t chase the high; instead, I patiently wait for a pullback—adding at suitable levels. If the market is falling, I set a clear pace: every time the price drops by 10%, I add another 10% position, gradually filling the 40% middle position. By doing this, regardless of which way the market moves, batching in allows me to bring the average cost to an ideal level. Even if I make a wrong judgment once, I won’t be caught off guard because I’ve diversified the risk.
**Third Move: 30% Position as the Final Push, Only Heavy Hands When the Trend Is Clear**
The remaining 30% is the most critical final step of the strategy. I never blindly add in when the situation is still unclear—that’s a common mistake for beginners. I wait until the overall trend is fully stabilized and confirmed before deploying this last 30%. This ensures the entire investment process is both clear and efficient—avoiding missing out on major opportunities due to impatience, and preventing premature addition that could lead to being caught off guard.
This method may seem simple, but in the volatile crypto market, it functions like a stable machine. Perhaps in the past, you were fumbling in the dark, but now with this light, your direction is clear, and your steps are more solid. Eight years of market experience have convinced me more and more: steady, cautious investing always beats aggressive tactics.

The 343 rule sounds good, but how many people can really stick with it? The key is attitude—when the market is booming, everyone wants to jump in quickly.

actually, the 343 framework completely ignores portfolio variance optimization and lacks any empirical backing whatsoever. where's the regression analysis on risk-adjusted returns? this reads like survivorship bias wrapped in decimal points.

Bro, this 343 is really awesome. I was among the group that got wiped out by a all-in a couple of years ago. Now, following your method, I truly feel much more at ease.

Bro, this 343 is indeed clever, but we all know when the ones who really made the 60 million got in, right?

Hmm... 3-4-3, right? Sounds okay, but honestly, my mind is a bit foggy before a nap... Wait, isn't this just the approach of entering in batches? The problem is, are you sure the market will really give you the chance to catch all three phases? I mean, often when it rises, you can't even wait for the right point to add to your position, and when it falls, you're afraid of getting caught in a trap... Forget it, I'll sleep for a while and analyze this logic more carefully tonight.

You're right, the key is to control greed... I only realized this after suffering a big loss.
