#Strategy加仓比特币 Making money by riding the trend, I went from a small salaried employee to a millionaire

38 years old, from Guangdong. When I first entered the crypto space in early 2017, honestly, I just wanted to find a way out of my dead-end salary. Earning 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, the dream of a down payment in Guangzhou was still far away. It wasn't until I got involved in this market that I truly understood—relying solely on a salary to buy a house is indeed unrealistic; only by catching the right cycle can you achieve a leap.

In 2020, I made a big decision. I mainly invested my savings in $ETH, allocated some to $BTC and a few promising projects. During the bloodbath of May 19 that year, the screen was full of people cutting losses, but I was aggressively adding to my positions at that time. It wasn’t courage, but a clear understanding—that when the bottom appears, it’s time to buy.

Honestly, I never use high leverage, and I would never borrow money to gamble on the market. I only trade opportunities I understand thoroughly, which results in fewer and fewer trades.

By 2021, as Bitcoin broke through new highs, my intuition told me the market was starting to overextend. When BTC was around 58,000, I gradually sold off my main holdings, and I sold a lot of $ETH at 4400. The subsequent market trend proved that those were the closest points to the ceiling.

When the bear market arrived, my account’s unrealized gains solidified at 38 million yuan. Of which, 10 million was invested in a property in Shenzhen, 20 million was placed in the bank for stable interest income, and the remaining 8 million continued to drift in the market.

Over the years, I have adhered to a few bottom lines:
- Principal only accumulated through work, never leverage
- Only buy high-probability opportunities, not chasing trading frequency
- Take profits when they come, don’t compete with greed
- Earn from the big cycle dividends, not from daily chart speculation

People eager to get rich are everywhere, but those who truly make money are often those who learn to wait, are willing to bet at key moments, and are decisive when it’s time to exit.

This is how the crypto market works—opportunities are always there, it’s just whether you can wait for that moment.
