A friend of mine used the simplest and most brutal method to forcefully earn a hundred in the crypto world. The most interesting part is that when you pull up his trading records, you'll find that—80% of his trades actually resulted in losses.

It sounds contradictory, but the logic is quite simple: losses must be controlled, profits must be taken aggressively. He treats "staying alive without getting out" as his first principle.

He divides his principal into parts, only risking 10% of his position each time, with a stop-loss set at 5%. After three consecutive losses, he immediately closes the position. Many people mock him for being too conservative, but after several cycles of bull and bear markets, those chasing the highs have long been out, while he remains steadily at the table.

Regarding moving averages, his understanding is more thorough than most. A golden cross on the 5-day MA? To him, that’s a signal to beware of trap trades. Coins capable of making big moves are stably above the 30-day MA, and in a bull market, such coins typically see an average increase of over 300%. As for the 200-day MA? That’s his line of life and death; he doesn’t even look at coins below that line.

In his view, sudden surges are actually the most dangerous. There are too many examples of FOMO-driven orders losing 90% within three days. The true bottom is often very quiet—no discussions, declining transactions, the community full of complaints. That’s when the real opportunity appears.

Adding to positions is more cautious. He never goes all-in during a rally; he only considers adding profit. Every 10% increase, he halves his additional position size, gradually raising the profit baseline like stacking a pyramid, pushing the risk to an extremely low level.

He keeps a close eye on the actions of the big players. When a long upper shadow appears at a high level, a dump is inevitable within seven days; a decline with no volume is just a sniper attack on impatient small retail investors.

While others dream of getting rich overnight, he instead earns steady money with the most down-to-earth methods. Last year, his students achieved an 11-fold return. This is not luck; it’s cold, calculated probability and discipline.

Smart people always want to find shortcuts, but most end up becoming stepping stones. Those who truly make money are the "fools" who stick to the rules. The market is still ongoing, and this logic remains effective. When you are willing to settle down and be "foolish" for a while, you’ll realize: in the crypto world, slow is the fastest way.
