I've been in the crypto space for eleven years. I impulsively jumped in at the end of 2014 with 100,000 yuan, and within half a year, I lost 80%. Now, my account funds exceed 80 million yuan. I’ve bought three houses in Shenzhen, and I drive a G-Wagon and a Porsche—honestly, the pitfalls I’ve encountered over these ten-plus years have cost me more than the money I’ve made. But the reason I was able to crawl out of the mire of losses and finally achieve stable profits is actually just two words: system.



Many people trading in the crypto world treat it as a game of "bet big or small." Relying on gut feelings, hearsay, chasing rallies, and selling on dips, they end up as market’s "chives," with their accounts repeatedly wiped out. I’ve validated a fact over ten years—crypto is not a casino. It’s a trading battlefield that emphasizes "rules + execution." You either follow the market’s rules or get crushed by them. There is no third way.

Today, I want to share my trading system and practical approach, so more crypto enthusiasts can avoid some pitfalls and truly make money in this market.

I’ve found that many people have studied trading for years but still see little success. The core issue is stuck at one point—"trading level and cycle." It seems simple, but very few truly understand it thoroughly.

There’s an old saying: "Weak water, I only take a ladle." Literally, it means rivers and lakes have countless waters, but you only need to take a ladleful to drink. The real meaning is to tell people: you will encounter many beautiful things in life, but as long as you focus on capturing just a part of them, that’s enough. The key is to stay clear-headed and pursue what you truly need.

The same logic applies to trading. Opportunities are happening every moment in the market, but you can’t seize them all. What you need to do is find your "one ladle"—a clear choice of trading level, a stable time cycle—and then stick to that cycle, waiting for your opportunity to appear. Too many people, driven by greed, want to make money on all cycles, but end up not mastering any, and finally get educated by the market.

Listen, this "a ladle of water" saying still has some merit, and it's more reliable than those who boast about earning 80 million every day. I mean, there aren't many people who can truly stick to a cycle, including myself—sometimes I also tend to be greedy.

To be honest, this "one scoop of water" theory sounds quite reasonable, but what I care more about is—has he really achieved stable profits? Or is it just another "survivor bias" story...

To be honest, this "One Ladle of Water" theory sounds comfortable, but how many people actually implement it?

Haha, eleven years from 100,000 to 80 million sounds impressive, but I've heard this "system theory" many times. How many can truly execute it effectively?

Systematic trading is indeed the breakthrough, but to be honest, it still requires execution power at the mempool level. I have tried gas optimization and arbitrage opportunities, and only then did I realize—true alpha lies in finding your own cycle and sticking to it. Don't be greedy and try to arbitrage across all chains.

Well said, but what about reality? It is extremely rare to reach 80 million in eleven years; most people are still struggling on the edge.
