There are no shortages of overnight doubling legends in the crypto world, but few who actually live to the end and make money. Instead of constantly watching the market and chasing gains or cutting losses, it's better to honestly stick to a few bottom lines—this is the way for ordinary people to achieve stable profits in this market.
People often ask why, despite following various big V's operations daily, my account keeps shrinking? The real reason boils down to eight words: lack of execution and risk awareness. Last year, I opened a small account to experiment, using 1500U to test an idea: in the crypto space, is a conservative strategy really feasible? The results proved everything—over four months, the account grew to over 40,000U. No all-in bets, no leverage, no insider information, purely discipline and patience.
First, let's talk about the game rules at that time. On the day I deposited funds, I set three unbreakable red lines: First, leverage no more than 1x, meaning spot trading only; second, only trade mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, no chasing the hottest new coins; third, set stop-loss and take-profit points and execute them promptly without softening.
Comparing this to stories around me is very revealing. A friend started with 2000U, saw a new coin surge fiercely, and followed the trend to buy in. In just three days, he made 500U, then impulsively added 5x leverage and went all-in. A wave of correction wiped him out, and his account went to zero. Another person, averaging three trades a day, frequently entered and exited, paid over 300U in fees, and finally had less than 800U left of the principal. Compared to them, my operations seem particularly "low-skill."
Position management is key. Never go all-in; each time, use no more than 30% of the account funds. For example, when BTC is around $30,000, I start with a 450U position. If it continues to fall to $28,000, I add more. The benefit of this approach is that if my judgment is wrong, losses are kept within an acceptable range. The same logic applies to ETH—never greedy, just stick to these two core assets.
Stop-loss and take-profit are never just for show. Set target profit rates and stop-loss points, sell part of the position when the target is reached, and cut losses decisively when the price hits the stop point. Many people lose money here—they have a stop-loss plan but feel heartache when prices fall, always thinking "wait for the rebound," only to lose more as they wait. My principle is simple: follow the planned execution to the end. Emotional decisions only increase costs.
Over four months, I experienced BTC rebounds, ETH fluctuations, and market panic moments. But because I didn't have the threat of high leverage or chasing hot trends leading to trapped positions, I could stay confident amid volatility. When others panic and get wiped out or trapped, my account steadily moves upward.
To put it plainly, the underlying logic of making money in crypto is very simple: control risk, manage positions, and stick to discipline. These are not some advanced investment theories; everyone can learn them. The key is whether you can truly stick to it.
