Forget about the full position all-in strategy. The true happiness in the crypto world comes from using a reliable system to make money from the market again and again.

Novices often think that the crypto world is just about gambling—going all-in to get rich overnight. But after playing for a while, they realize: it's about logic, not courage. I've seen too many people try to double their 5,000 U in a month, only to lose everything when the market turns. It's not the market's problem; it's that they have no strategy.

Two years ago, I mentored a beginner who couldn't even read candlestick charts. He would buy the dip when prices fell and chase after rallies, losing 3,000 U in just a week. I told him to stop and learn to "stay alive" first.

I designed a three-tiered approach for him: short-term trades only on mainstream coins like $BTC, $ETH, taking profits at 2%; medium-term positions for key levels, holding for three to five days; and a long-term cold wallet for underlying holdings, not checking the market or messing around.

In the first two weeks, he couldn't sit still—he panicked after two days of consolidation. I told him, "Consolidation tests your patience; if you endure it, the trend will come naturally." Unexpectedly, on the third day, BTC surged straight up. He sold half of his holdings as planned and added leverage, earning double on this wave.

Later, he summarized two strict rules: first, limit single losses to 1%, cut immediately if wrong; second, take profits at 3% in stages, don't be greedy. With this "steady, cautious, patient" approach, his 2,000 U grew to 90,000 U.

Every day there's a market in crypto, but true experts never chase every trend blindly. Those who survive are not the smartest, but the ones who can wait and understand the rhythm best. Instead of gambling on luck for overnight riches, it's better to embed this set of rules into every trade—this is the secret to lasting in the crypto world.
