The dumbest way to make money in crypto: three don’ts and six must-kills



The secret to getting rich in the crypto market is often hidden in the dumbest methods.
Today, I’m sharing a dumb approach—so simple it’s ridiculous—yet it can make your account balance surge upward like it’s on rocket power.

Three major taboos: break one, and you’ll be broke for three years!

First taboo: chase pumps and cut dumps. 90% of retail traders lose money because they always shout “this time is different” when the coin price is soaring, only to get trapped on the mountaintop. Real ruthless players enter when the crypto market is flowing with blood—when the app isn’t even something you dare to open, that’s when you should be greedy.

Second taboo: All in on a single coin. Gamblers bet all their assets on a lucky number—the ending is written in the casino bathroom. Keep 30% of cash in hand; when a brutal drop hits, you’ll finally understand what other people’s panic means when they buy the dip.

Third taboo: full-position shuffling (all-in every time). The harsh truth in crypto: opportunities are always more than money. People who go all-in are like hunters with their hands tied, watching fat sheep slip away right in front of them. Position management is the life-saving charm of top-tier experts.

Six short-term trading mantras—each one draws blood.

1. Range-bound consolidation must lead to a trend change. When high-level prices chop sideways, the market maker will stage fake breakouts to lure you into the trap; when prices grind lower in the low zone, a crash often strikes suddenly amid despair. Before confirming the direction, your hands are more precious than gold.

2. Sideways trading is a death trap. 80% of liquidations happen during sideways periods—if you can’t resist getting itchy hands, the grass on your grave will already be three meters high.

3. Buy when there’s a bearish candle, sell when there’s a bullish candle. Going the other way is the real king’s way. The moment a big bearish candle appears, it’s time to pick up money.

4. The accelerating principle of brutal sell-offs. The slower the fall, the gentler the rebound; the crazier the drop, the more violent the rebound. A waterfall-style crash—prepare sacks to carry your money.

5. Pyramid-style accumulation. Drop another 10% at the bottom and add another 10%—your cost basis can be pushed so low it makes the market maker want to faint.

6. When the trend changes, clear the position. After a surge, if it chops sideways, withdraw the principal first and let profits fly; after a brutal drop, if it chops sideways, cut losses faster than Bruce Lee throws a punch.

Among these six maxims, the one about consolidation inevitably turning into a breakout is the most practical. Every time I see sideways trading, I force myself to hold back—and sure enough, I’ve lost a lot less. Position management is definitely more important than technical analysis; keeping 30% in cash gives me the confidence to buy the dip.

Chasing after pumps and selling at the wrong time is truly a painful lesson—now I only dare to enter the market when blood is flowing like a river.
