Is there a safe but lengthy path to wealth in the crypto world? Eight years of market experience tell us: yes. From an initial capital of 1800U to assets worth 28 million, with 3 properties and a Maybach—this is not luck-based gambling or insider information, but purely a "clumsy method" that most people look down upon.

A 38-year-old from Fujian, now living in Hangzhou. There’s no myth of overnight riches, only a logical process of gradual accumulation. Here are 6 practical summaries; mastering one can reduce losses by 100,000 yuan, and three are enough to outperform 90% of retail investors.

**$BTC Trading Secrets**

Rapid rise followed by slow decline? Don’t panic and sell. This is often the market maker shaking out weak hands; rushing to exit can lead to losses. But if there’s a volume surge followed by a sharp crash (for example, a 30% increase in one day then a 20% drop), that’s a trap to lure buyers, and missing the boat could mean losing everything.

Conversely, a sudden plunge followed by a slow rebound? That’s a trap. Don’t believe the phrase "it’s already bottomed out"; the market has no mercy.

**$ETH Volume Signals**

Watch the trading volume at high levels. Continuous volume-driven oscillations or room for further gains; but if volume suddenly shrinks and the market feels cold, a crash is imminent.

At the bottom, it’s the opposite. A single-day surge in volume is often a bait; the real opportunity lies in a period of consolidation with gradually increasing volume, which signals the market maker is building a position.

**$SOL and Emotional Play**

The core of trading crypto is emotional manipulation. Trading volume is the most honest mirror of market consensus—candlesticks are just surface data, but volume is the hidden key.

**Mindset Determines Outcome**

The "nothing" mindset is worth pondering: no obsession, able to hold cash and wait for real opportunities; no greed, to avoid chasing highs and getting trapped; no fear, to dare to deploy during panic. This is the essence of top-tier trading psychology.

The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is "hands that can control and a clear view of the situation." From 1800U to 28 million, speed isn’t the key; what matters is understanding the wisdom in the "clumsy method"—the market tends to favor the honest and the rule-abiding, even if they seem simple.

1800U flipped to 28 million... It sounds unbelievable but also seems possible, so it's unbelievable. --- How many times have I heard this theory, only to be defeated by my own greed in the end. --- The segment about momentum signals is somewhat interesting, but actually implementing it is another matter. --- No obsession, no greed, no fear... easy to say, but hard to do. --- The dumbest methods are indeed the hardest to stick to because they are so boring. --- 8 years to reach 28 million? How is the annualized return calculated? Is it exaggerated? --- The key is to control your hand and not chase highs. I really haven't been able to do that. --- The phrase "treating smart people in the crypto circle" hit the mark; too many who try to gamble and cut corners end up losing.

Once again, it's the same rhetoric. It sounds nice, but in reality, 99% of people haven't even waited for that "gentle increase in volume" and have already been trapped and exhausted.

1800U to 28 million? Bro, I've heard this story too many times. The key is how many people actually stick with it. 2. Calling it a "clumsy method" sounds nice, but in reality, it just means holding back and not moving. Most people can't stick with it for more than three months. 3. The volume signal part is indeed valid. I lost a lot of money because I didn't understand the tricks behind trading volume. 4. Mildly increasing volume after a period of consolidation... just thinking about it gives me a headache. Every time, I get caught before that moment. 5. No obsession, no greed, no fear. Easy to say, but try doing it when the market drops 20%. 6. It seems this guy's premise is having sufficient capital and time. Retail investors don't have these conditions. 7. I've seen too many cases of pump-and-dump schemes, making it harder and harder to tell real from fake. 8. The saying "mindset determines the outcome" hit home. I lost money mainly because of emotional trading. 9. A Maybach, three houses... definitely not stories that ordinary retail investors can replicate. 10. Eight years to achieve this return; even big internet companies wouldn't be much different.

Is this the same routine again? I've seen too many stories of "8 years to multiply by 10,000," and it all turns out to be survivor bias, haha. Can a drop in volume really indicate a collapse? That's hilarious. I was doing the same last year and lost a lot. No obsession, no greed, no fear—it's easy to say, but when it comes to crashing the market, who can really do it? Don't you have a clear idea in your mind? These kinds of articles are just to make retail investors think they're about to be done, then they buy at high levels. Wait, from 1800U to 2800W, is that real or just a selectively written story? Volume is the key, I admit, but honestly, it's just guessing the game rules. I believe "fools" make money because they don't think too much and just buy the dip.

It's the same theory again, talking all fancy but how many can really do it? Speaking of that "Wu" character mental method, it really hit me. I can never achieve both no greed and no fear. From 1800U to 28 million, what kind of opportunity is that? Why didn't I come across it? I think volume is more reliable than candlestick charts, but signals like shrinking volume rebound are really easy to get caught in traps. However, this guy did say one thing right—the market truly favors smart people. My so-called "wisdom" trades have lost the most.

Once again, it's the "clumsy method" argument. Honestly, I believe in it, but I'm more afraid of execution. --- Being free of obsession and greed sounds simple, but the real skill is being able to stay calm when the market drops 20%. --- The multiple from 1800U to 28 million is indeed shocking, but what he didn't mention is how many pitfalls were stepped on during those 8 years. --- Regarding volume signals, what he said makes sense—most people can't tell when it's truly low volume or just a bait. --- The phrase "controlled hands" really hit me. It's always at the moment of greed that I chase high and lose the most. --- So, the core is still mindset. The technical aspects are actually all superficial, right? --- Listening to Maybach is enough; I'll just reduce my real estate holdings to one property first.

1800 to 28 million... This guy is indeed fierce, but to be honest, I haven't really grasped this volume approach yet. Here comes the "Wu" character method again, sounds like a cultivation novel haha. Wait, can this really outperform 90% of retail investors? I feel like it's still gambling. A 30% increase and 20% drop in one day, just looking at it gives me a heart attack—can it really hold? The simple method is actually not chasing highs and not cutting losses, easy to say but hard to do. So I want to ask, when does volume truly become healthy and sustainable? After a period of shrinking volume and gentle consolidation... is that what's happening with SOL now? No matter how good the hype, it can't escape leverage liquidation—I've seen too many cases. Has this guy ever calculated how many real "opportunities" there are in 8 years? I just want to know when those 3 houses were bought—that's the real key, right?
