Want to survive in the crypto market? Stop pretending. I’ve already stepped on every pit for you—the harder you try, the more you lose.
When I first got in, just like you—I chased pumps and dumped dips, used leverage, and stared at the charts until 3 a.m. So what happened? I lost so much that I couldn’t even bear to add an egg to my instant noodles. I dreamed about getting liquidated, and when I woke up, I realized it wasn’t a dream.
Later, I finally understood this: in crypto, it’s not how smart you are that keeps you alive—it’s how “timid” you are that does.
Now I only live by two rigid rules—clumsy, maybe, but they work.
First, if you can’t understand the market, not even in—kill it outright. No matter how hot the hotspot is, what does it have to do with me? I only act on signals that I can fully understand. It’s not about prediction; it’s about waiting until the market walks up to my doorstep, and then I move. No greed, no gambling, no emotional trading—sounds simple, but I lost real money paying for it.
Second, time matters a hundred times more than technical analysis. These days, I basically don’t look at the charts during the day—I trade after 9 p.m. Why? During the day, it’s all news-driven noise and an emotion-fueled market; the main force is washing out exactly traders like you, the ones staring at the screen until your eyes go red. Only when night comes and things cool down does the direction truly become clear.
I don’t rely on any high-end indicators. I just use this dumb method—slow and steady—and I can still withdraw profits every month.
When I first entered the market, I was just like you—chasing rallies and selling dips, using leverage, watching the charts until 3 a.m. What happened? I lost so much I couldn’t even afford to add eggs to my instant noodles.
I dreamed of liquidation while sleeping, and woke up to find it wasn’t a dream.
Later, I realized a truth: surviving in crypto isn’t about being smart; it’s about being “timid” enough to survive.
Now I only follow two strict rules, simple but effective.
First, never trade in a market you don’t understand. No matter how hot the trend is, what does it matter to me? I only act on signals I fully understand. It’s not about prediction; it’s about waiting for the market to come to me before I make a move. No greed, no gambling, no emotional trades—this sounds simple, but I’ve lost real money trying to do otherwise.
Second, time is a hundred times more important than technical skills. I hardly look at the charts during the day, only trade after 9 p.m. Why? Because during the day, it’s all news and emotional trading, and the big players are just shaking out traders like you who keep staring at the screens. Only at night, when things calm down, does the real trend emerge.
I don’t rely on fancy indicators; I just stick to this simple method. Steady wins the race, and I can make profits every month.
