After years in the crypto market, I’ve discovered a harsh truth: there are indeed many smart people, but very few who truly stick to the slow and steady path.
I know a senior who started with 100,000 yuan and grew it to 42 million yuan. He once told me a phrase that’s deeply etched in my mind—"The crypto world is a game of the mob; those who can self-discipline are the winners who take all."
Over the years, countless so-called "trading geniuses" have been fleeting, while seemingly insignificant investors quietly accumulate wealth. I want to share a few reliable methods. They may not be as exciting as chasing gains or cutting losses, but they can withstand the test of the market.
**Don’t chase small profits crazily; only then can you make big money**
When I first entered the crypto world, I also fell for this trap. I saw a coin jump 5% and rushed in, only to be immediately caught at the top. Or I finally managed to buy the dip, made a 5% profit, and couldn’t resist selling, only to see it double in value afterward.
This "small gains, big losses" logic is the root cause of most retail investors’ losses. The real solution is simple: don’t chase small profits, and don’t bet everything at once. My approach is to set proper take-profit and stop-loss levels for promising projects, letting profits run themselves, while strictly limiting any single loss to no more than 2% of total capital.
**Only invest in mainstream coins that have experienced a significant dip; avoid the hype of trash coins**
The crypto market sees new hot spots emerging every day, with various stories of rapid surges tempting people. But I never participate in these games, because most new coins ultimately end up being...

That's right, self-discipline is truly the most scarce resource in this game, more valuable than any technical analysis.

It sounds good, but how many people can truly stick with it... Most are still controlled by the coin price.

Sounds nice, but isn't it just waiting until you've made enough money before coming out to preach?

ngl the slow-simmering approach hits different when you're actually marinating your portfolio for years instead of day-trading like some half-baked protocol... that 2% loss rule? it's basically the salt ratio that keeps the whole dish from getting ruined, fr fr

That's right, self-discipline wins, greed will only lead to bankruptcy.

That's right, self-discipline is really more valuable than intelligence.
I've made the mistake of chasing small gains and losing big too many times. Now I strictly stick to that 2% stop-loss line and let the bullets fly for a while.
Mainstream coins are indeed stable, but the FOMO from trash coins can really bankrupt people.
This senior's point is spot on—winning in the crypto world depends on one word—patience.
There are indeed few people who stick to the slow path; most still want to get rich overnight.

That's right, but knowing what to do is easy; actually doing it is hard... I've seen too many people talk about self-discipline, only to turn around and go all-in on new coins.
