#Strategy加仓BTC There's a phenomenon I've always found quite interesting to talk about—making money in the crypto world doesn't really rely on any clever tricks.



I am actually a cautionary example myself. To be blunt, my current method is completely lousy. I don't watch K-lines, I don't use leverage, I don't chase hot trends, and I even ignore new coin launches. But just by being "lazy" like this, I slowly turned a small amount of 3,000 USDT into 24,000 USDT, a full 8x increase.

The situation around me is completely different. Those with quick hands, good information, and frequent trades—changing coins every three minutes, going all-in on good news, maxing out leverage. And what’s the result? A wave of retracement, and their accounts are wiped out. They’re not unfamiliar with technical analysis; in fact, they know too much, react too quickly, and have an impatient mindset. This has become their fatal flaw.

The biggest difference between me and them is—I'm "dumber."

I stick to one strategy and don’t tinker anymore. This "dumb method" boils down to three actions:

**Step 1**—Identify coins in the early trend stage, and use about 3% of the total capital as a trial position. The key here is patience. Avoid trash coins, don’t gamble on rumors, just wait. Wait for the market to confirm that this thing is genuinely rising. Only those who can stay calm deserve to earn this money.

**Step 2**—When the market enters an acceleration phase and the trend becomes clear, then use 20%-50% of your funds to ride the mid-term trend. The bottom is always the game of the big players; I don’t try to抢 that.

**Step 3**—Once a wave of the trend completes, exit. No dreams of continuous limit-up days, no emotional trading. For me, the crypto market is just a cash machine—make money, and when you’ve earned enough, walk away.

This method may not look cool at all, but it really works.

Once, a friend lost over 400,000 yuan and was almost on the verge of collapse. In the end, he came to me and said: "Bro, don’t make me smarter, I’ll do it your way." In three months? Not only did he recover his losses, but he also bought a new car himself. Another fan, with a college diploma, started with 200 USDT, and through position sizing and patience, grew it to 6,000 USDT. Every time he asks me the same question: "If I knew earlier, I wouldn’t have been messing around."

So, the underlying logic here is very clear:

The crypto world is not an arena of technical skills; it’s an emotional and capital management field. Your losses aren’t because you don’t know how to read charts or operate. The real reason is—your mindset is too restless, your positions are too full, and your execution is too rigid.

You can choose to keep losing money with your clever brain, or you can learn to "play dumb" a bit and actually take the money away. When the next opportunity comes, look at it with a new perspective, and you’ll be able to seize it.

Damn, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say. Making money as a lazy person, losing money as a smart person, it's really not a joke. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered. Now my account is full of painful lessons. It's a bit harsh, but it hits the point. Position management and mindset are the real dividing lines; all those fancy technical indicators are really unnecessary. Three months to double your money and then change cars? I believe it, this guy is just steady. There are too many words, but the core is just one sentence: the crypto world is actually very simple, there are just too many people messing around. Never try to catch the bottom; let those main players splash blood all over me. Hey, this method is opposite to the thinking I used to suffer from, I'm a bit shocked.

Really, I deeply understand the saying that being too smart can lead to losing money. After reading this article, I almost want to curse. Why was I the kind of fool who changed coins every three minutes and used maximum leverage? Thinking back, it was really reckless. But to be honest, I haven't made much profit now either. As I always say, my execution is just not strong enough.

Oh my goodness, finally see someone who is clear-headed. I also earn passively by being lazy, just holding a few coins without moving them, which makes more than those who flip coins every day.
