Many people enter the crypto space with a simple goal—making money. But have you ever wondered why most people end up losing?



The key lies in one word: cognition. The essence of earning in the crypto world is understanding money; profits gained by luck are likely to be lost just as quickly with skill.

So, what is the most reliable strategy? Instead of chasing that 0.01% excess return every day, it's better to earn the industry’s average return steadily. The data speaks for itself: from 2020 to 2025, those who consistently invest in Bitcoin monthly have a profit probability of over 75%; while frequent traders have less than a 10% chance of profit. You can do the math yourself to see the difference.

Many people will ask at this point—what are the specific steps? The method is actually very simple—on a fixed date each month, set aside some idle funds to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum, then forget about it. No need to watch the charts, chase the highs and lows, or predict short-term price movements. Just hold through a complete cycle, about four years.

There are four key points in execution: invest on paydays, hold during bear markets without selling, take profits gradually during bull markets, and finally withdraw to your bank account. It sounds simple, but this "boring" approach has outperformed 95% of crypto players.

Why? Because simply surviving in the crypto space already means you’ve beaten 90% of people. As long as you haven't been wiped out or liquidated, you're already ahead of most "trading experts." And those who hold Bitcoin for over four years have already defeated 99% of short-term traders.

So, the secret to wealth is never about getting rich overnight; it’s a combination of three things: investing with idle funds, sticking to mainstream coins for dollar-cost averaging, and having enough patience. If you’re just entering now, remember this—slow is fast, less is more. Start your regular investments today, and in four years, you’ll thank yourself for making this decision now.

Basically, don't expect to get rich overnight. Steady, disciplined investing is the way to go.

This investment method sounds easy to say, but sticking with it for 4 years is truly a test of endurance... I'm just asking, how many people can really resist checking the market?

That's right, dollar-cost averaging is the way to go. Those who shout about bottom-fishing every day are all rookies. The lazy person's plan is just to make money, I respect that. It's the same old theory, I'm tired of hearing it, just lacking a reason to get on board. Four years may seem long, but it passes in the blink of an eye. The key is whether you can hold on. The group of people who trade frequently really deserve to lose; they stare at K-line charts all day like taking drugs. Dollar-cost averaging may sound boring, but it is indeed the most stable. There's no fancy tricks, just straightforward and simple. The money made by luck is quickly lost; I am a living example. Honestly, surviving is winning. Too many people have gone bankrupt and disappeared. Starting from cognitive gaps, the essence of the crypto world is wealth redistribution; information asymmetry determines everything. Wait, what if the bear market crashes to nothing? Should I still continue dollar-cost averaging?

That's right, but you need patience. Most people fail due to frequent trading.

To be honest, I've heard about this dollar-cost averaging strategy a thousand times, but how many people actually stick with it for 4 years without moving? Most people start doubting life after losing a little in just 2 months.
