#数字资产市场动态 Eight years in the crypto market, from age 25 to now 33, witnessing numerous cycles of bull and bear markets.
The most common question I get asked: Have I really made money?
Honestly, from 2020 to 2022, my account broke through eight figures. Life is more comfortable now; staying in hotels costing over 2000 RMB has become normal. Compared to peers in some traditional industries, my quality of life has indeed improved by a level.
But if I have to reveal the secret, honestly—it's not some extraordinary talent, nor pure luck, but a set of investment rhythm that I’ve accumulated. Using this method, I’ve steadily earned over 20 million.
**The core idea is actually very simple, divided into three stages:**
**Stage 1: 30% testing the waters**
Taking 120,000 RMB as an example, first invest 30%, which is 36,000 RMB, to enter the market. The advantage of a small position is less psychological pressure, less likely to be disturbed by short-term fluctuations, and the risk remains within controllable limits.
**Stage 2: 40% incremental batching**
Watch how the market moves. If it rises, patiently wait for a pullback before adding more; if it falls, that’s an opportunity. For every 10% drop, add 10% more; repeat this cycle to gradually average into 40% of the position. The benefit of this approach is continuously lowering the average cost, so even if prices fluctuate later, there’s no need to worry.
**Stage 3: 30% confirmation**
When the market trend stabilizes and the direction becomes clear, use the remaining 30% of capital to add in one go. At this point, the entire layout is complete—clear and calm throughout.
This method may seem "dumb," but it’s this "dumbness" that allows one to survive longer in the crypto space.
My deepest realization over the years is: the hardest part in crypto is never finding some "secret trick," but whether you can control your greed and fear. Many around me always think about overnight riches, but I’ve seen accounts wiped out overnight. I rely on calmness, not being greedy, and steady phased progress—step by step, to get to where I am today.
This approach, to be blunt, is "silly," but from another perspective, it’s the true stable way to make money in the crypto market. Instead of chasing the illusory dream of overnight wealth, it’s better to practice with this systematic mindset. If you’re interested, give it a try—perhaps the next person to achieve financial freedom in crypto will be you.
It sounds very elegant, but most people can't withstand the second wave of decline and end up going all-in.
A hotel costing over 2000 is normal... alright, I'm still staying in a 300-yuan place.
The key is discipline, the most scarce thing in the crypto world.
I've been using the approach of entering in batches for a long time, but timing the cycle is extremely difficult.
It's that 3-4-3 strategy again. It sounds easy, but actually implementing it is really hard. The hardest part is resisting the urge to chase the rally.
That's right, what kills people in the crypto world is never the technology, but human greed.
Are the 20 million real earnings or just on paper? Can you stay steady when the bear market comes?
This method is actually a low-end version of dollar-cost averaging; it just has a different name now.
Seeing an eight-figure number, I knew the next part would be about "systematic thinking." Why does no one mention the toughest bear markets?
But to be fair, resisting greed really hits home for me; it's more valuable than any technical analysis.
The key is still that saying: controlling greed is more valuable than any skill. All my friends who have gone to zero share the same story—once they see a little profit, they want to go all in and double up, but a single correction can directly end the game. Your approach is indeed "silly" but steady; living longer is really underrated.
But to be fair, it takes 8 years of steady effort to reach the current scale, so most beginners' patience would have been worn out by the market long ago. Being able to persist until today is indeed a skill.
Taking it step by step is indeed stable, but few can endure through all three stages.
I feel the core is just two words: patience. Most people can't do it.
The most ruthless part of this method is adding 10% after each 10% drop. If your mental resilience isn't strong enough, you simply can't withstand it.
20 million sounds like a lot, but earning that in 8 years—is it truly stable or just very conservative?
Agreed, but I'm afraid people around me won't listen and will insist on taking a gamble and going all in.
The 3-3-4 configuration is indeed perfect. I'm on the same pace now. The key is still mindset.
Talking about plans on paper is easy; few actually follow through. I've seen too many people give up after the second stage.
You're right, the biggest enemy in the crypto world is that restless heart of yours.
However, I have to say, this 3-4-3 rhythm sounds easy to talk about but is really hard to implement, especially in the crazy atmosphere of the crypto world.
Sticking to this method is indeed the right way to make money, much more reliable than those who call trades every day.
Really, living longer is the true winner; I've seen too many accounts wiped out.
The figure of 20 million sounds incredible, but the patience behind it is the real skill.
