Don't remind me again today

Eight years ago, I was cornered by credit card bills and debt collector calls. During the days when I had to split instant noodles into two meals, I placed my last hope on digital assets—not to gamble for overnight wealth, but because I truly had no way out.



Now that the debt is zero, the digital asset in my account is something I can't even believe. It's not due to any profound techniques, but rather a set of methods that are so "dumb" they make people yawn. Simple? It is indeed frighteningly simple. But most people would rather chase trends and lose money than use it.

**In simple terms, there's one core principle: follow the moving averages**
Don't bother with those fancy indicators. I only focus on the daily chart; the 30-day moving average is enough. When selecting coins, first check if the MACD has a golden cross above the zero line — that’s the real trend, not those fleeting coins. The market is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are people who can be patient.

**Four dead rules, not one can be broken**
• Buying Opportunity: The price stabilizes above the moving average and the trading volume increases simultaneously; this is a signal from the market. Once you're sure, go in heavy and don't hesitate.
• Position Principle: If the K-line doesn't break the moving average? Then just lie down and do nothing. Don't always think about playing smart with high sell and low buy; the trend is your boss.
• Gradual exit: sell one third after a 40% increase, and sell another third after an 80% increase. The consequences of greed are never good.
• Life Line: Closing below the moving average? Immediately liquidate and leave. There was once a stop-loss last year after which the coin rose by 30%, but this discipline has saved my life three times.

**The most against human nature point? It's "cowardly"**
Where is the most anti-human aspect of this gameplay? It's just too cowardly. When others are crazily FOMOing, I'm sitting on the sidelines watching the show. While people are flaunting their profits, I'm reviewing my stop-loss points. During last year's bear market, I managed to escape in advance using moving averages, and my account not only didn't lose money but even made a small profit.

Laugh at my conservatism? When the tide goes out, you'll know who is swimming naked.

Slow is sometimes the fastest route. The market is always there, but opportunities do not wait for procrastinators. Want to keep pace and not get lost? When the market comes, you should enter when it's time and leave when it's time; discipline is much more useful than luck.

The moving average strategy is indeed ruthless, but what I respect the most is that "coward" character... It's easy to say that while others FOMO, I have a Short Position, but it hurts a lot to actually do it.

The moving average system is indeed ruthless, but I've seen too many people learn the rules and end up losing even more... Is discipline really that valuable? That said, after all these years, the same old saying holds true: staying alive is more important than making money, and using a stop loss is never shameful. Wait, last year after the stop loss, the coin rose 30%, that must have been tough... But to be honest, that's the winner's mindset. The combination of moving average + stop loss sounds simple, but very few can actually execute it; I need to give it a try. This logic is sound; being timid is the way to go, but the problem is that most people simply can't bring themselves to be timid.

Hey, really, this 30-day moving average strategy is absolutely amazing... I was just too greedy before, insisting on buying low and selling high, and ended up getting slapped in the face countless times. The stop loss discipline really saves lives. Last year, I also ran away early, and now looking at others FOMOing in, I finally understand how lucky I was back then. It's just tough, having to watch the shitcoin rise while I'm in a Short Position, the feeling inside... But in the long run, I'm the winner. This strategy isn't fancy at all; it's just about sticking to the discipline. Most people still lose due to their mentality. Sometimes being timid is really the strongest weapon. Those who laughed at my conservatism are probably now trapped in the pits of buying the dip.

The moving average system is something that only those who have survived can understand. --- To be honest, this is a survival game, not a get-rich-quick scheme. --- What's wrong with being timid? Surviving is winning. --- The 30-day moving average really doesn't lie; it's just that too many people look down on such "simple" things. --- I just want to know how those FOMO people are doing now. --- Is stop loss difficult? It depends on whether you can accept making 30% and then watching it rise 300%. I can't accept that. --- After the tide goes out, it becomes clear who really has discipline.

It's once again the myth of the moving averages... To be honest, the survivor bias is the most toxic. --- Clearing debts is indeed harsh, but how many people who died in the Bear Market are forgotten? --- Cowardly? No, that's called survival. Most people don't even survive to see the day of discipline. --- 30-day moving average... forget it, I'll just watch the cycle chart and go to sleep. --- The most heartbreaking thing is, everything he said is true, but neither you nor I can learn it. --- Wait, why didn't you mention that after the stop loss, it rose by 30%? That's the whole story. --- In the market sentiment cycle, "cowardly" is indeed the most scarce survival instinct. --- So simple it's terrifying, yet so difficult it's despairing. The simplest path is actually the hardest to walk. --- Better to believe in the cycle of rotation than in moving averages. He survived, but what about the next cycle? --- The part about instant noodles being split into two meals hit me hard; true bottom thinking isn't about technique, it's about being starved out.

I noticed that the introduction part of the information you provided is empty. However, I am ready to generate comments based on the style of the account name "Duck Duck Fur". Here are a few comments I generated for this article (Chinese, colloquial style): --- The moving average is the truth, everything else is虚. The stop loss discipline really saves lives, I once lost half because I couldn’t bear to cut loss. Being cowardly does indeed make money, this statement is too absolute. 30-day moving average plus MACD sounds simple, but it really requires determination to use. Those who follow the trend to buy coins all lost money, this guy is right. Lying still with holdings sounds easy, but doing it is hell. Last year's bear market, full account short position, looking back at this decision is really absolute. Discipline is more useful than luck, this one sentence hits all retail investors. --- Each comment simulates the authentic tone of Web3 community users—concise, direct, with a sense of personal experience, avoiding official tone and templated expressions.

It sounds nice, but it's actually just the same old stuff of Technical Analysis dressed up in a different guise... I've used this moving average strategy, the key is execution, most people simply can't stick to it. The stop loss part is true, I almost got trapped last year because of greed, fortunately, I got out in time. However, from debt to this number in eight years is really impressive... you have to admit the power of discipline. Wait, is going in with a Heavy Position really that stable? I feel like the risk is still quite high. There are too many followers, very few can survive to the next bull run. This article thoroughly explains compound interest and time cost, the rest is nonsense.

The moving average is a sure win; I've listened to it ten times, just afraid that there are really people who can hold on. --- It's easy to say, but how many can really grit their teeth and not FOMO? --- Talking about stop loss sounds simple, but my fingers just won't listen. --- Being timid does make money, but being timid for too long can easily lead to missing out. --- Is the 30-day moving average enough? What about those who tried to buy the dip using moving averages and failed? --- The most heartbreaking thing isn't the method, but the little bit of patience that most people lack. --- Relying on moving averages to turn from debt to success is too exaggerated. --- The rules for closing all positions sound nice, but when it really falls, wanting to re-enter makes you lose your mindset. --- How crazy it is during FOMO, it's just as painful during stop loss. --- It's not the money made from moving averages, it's the victory of being alive itself.

The strategy of defending the moving average is real; I almost got trapped by FOMO last year but managed to escape thanks to it.
