Once you've played in the crypto circle for a certain period, you'll encounter a particularly painful reality—
Despite working hard, your account keeps getting worse. This is no coincidence.
The most common trap for beginners is: mistaking "studying hard" as a lifeline.
Scrolling Twitter daily, watching influencers, researching various tactical combinations.
EMA, RSI, MACD, funding rates, sentiment...
Systems become more and more flashy, but as a result, the account actually shrinks.
You think you're upgrading yourself,
but actually, this is called "using complexity to escape from self-discipline."
When AI concepts become hot, you go all-in on AI coins,
Next hot topic is MEME, so you play with meme coins,
Then hearing about "insider information," you change your mind again.
Switching targets 5 times a week, using 3 different trading systems...
Saying you want to "perfectly optimize your strategy, with no loopholes,"
but secretly thinking: "If I lose money on the last trade, don’t blame me, I’m just testing new methods."
So you keep switching targets, changing ideas, spreading your losses thin, making it look less painful.
A classic case of self-deception.
I lost money for years before I realized one thing:
Most retail investors' problems are not "wrong direction,"
but "too many choices."
Later, I made a crazy decision: **Cut everything off, leaving only one workable model.**
Single coin, single direction, swing trading.
Sounds stupid, but it’s truly survivable.
**How exactly to operate?**
**First step: Focus on one coin**
BTC or ETH, choose one.
No chasing hot topics, no following narratives, no being a slave to emotions.
You don’t have an informational advantage,
Your only weapon is **concentration**.
Keep your eyes fixed on one coin for three months,
Your understanding of it will surpass 99% of people.
You’ll know when it’s easy for funds to push, when it’s prone to collapse, when it’s a real breakout, and when it’s a fake drop.
**Second step: Follow the trend**
Go long when it’s rising, go short when it’s falling.
No buying the dip, no guessing the top, no betting on reversals.
The market is the boss, you are the worker.
If the boss gives you work, do it seriously; if not, wait patiently.
Trends, **you don’t need to understand them, just obey**.
**Third step: Position splitting is the defense**
Trial orders = buy tickets to enter
Confirmation signals = add positions
Trend expansion = take profit and exit
Misjudgment = cut losses immediately
It’s not the win rate that determines how long you can survive, **it’s the position structure**.
**Why do most people fail to learn this method?**
Because it’s really too boring.
Waiting in cash is torture.
Every stop-loss feels like a stab.
Giving up the fantasy of getting rich quick is a psychological hell.
In the crypto world, it’s not about who’s the smartest,
but about **eliminating those who can’t control themselves**.
When you’re willing to leave complex matters to the market,
and keep simple things for yourself—
that’s when you truly stand on the side of the "survivor."
