Having been in the crypto market for eight years, there's always someone around asking: Did you really make money?
Honestly, from 2021 to 2023, my account hit eight figures long ago. Now staying in a hotel costing around two thousand without a blink, living better than many friends in the physical world.
What’s the secret? Not some magical prediction skill, just a set of "253 Positioning Method"—sounds simple, but it helped me steadily accumulate over twenty million. If newcomers had understood this early, they’d have paid at least three years less tuition fees.
**Taking BTC as an example, suppose you have 100,000 yuan, just three steps:**
**Step 1, 20% testing the waters** Start by investing 20,000 yuan as a base. Keep the position small, so no matter how wild the market gets, you won’t panic. Many people go all-in right away, then get excited when it rises or panic when it drops—this step is about avoiding gambling tendencies.
**Step 2, 50% incremental addition** Don’t rush the remaining 50%. If it rises? Wait for a pullback before acting. If it drops? Follow the "buy every 8% dip with a 10% addition" rhythm. No matter how volatile the market, your average cost can be balanced, preventing a single bad call from trapping you.
**Step 3, 30% final adjustment** Wait until the trend is fully confirmed—say, BTC breaks through a key resistance level and stays steady without a pullback—then add the last 30,000 yuan. The whole process is calm and steady, much more reliable than impulsively jumping in.
**Recently, the market has started to wobble again**, and screenshots of margin calls are everywhere in the朋友圈.
The real threshold in crypto isn’t how accurate your predictions are, but two words—**self-control**. Self-control over greed when fully invested, and over panic during sharp declines.
My ability to stay steady in this market isn’t luck. It’s this "simple method" that has helped me dodge one trap after another.
Don’t dismiss this method as slow. A strategy that works and doesn’t blow up is the real way to make money.

Ah... Is 253 really reliable? I feel like I still need to watch the market trend.
---
Is 20 million really true? Please advise me on how to achieve stable profits.
---
Self-control is easy to say, but who can stay calm during a sudden crash?
---
I really can't bring myself to add the last 30%, I still feel like it might drop further.
---
This method sounds like a variation of dollar-cost averaging, nothing special, right?
---
I just want to know how you survived the market trend in 2023.
---
There are too many people who went all-in and got liquidated; this time they’ve learned their lesson.
---
I’ve used the averaging down method before, but the more I added, the more I got trapped. Understand?
---
Wait, how are you determining the 8% and 10% ratios you mentioned?
---
Now I’m starting to get nervous again. I think I’ll wait and see until the signals become clearer.

253 I also use this old thing, but sometimes the market rhythm still messes with my mindset, especially when I see others get rich in two or three days... But honestly, living longer is more important than living fast. Your eight years of experience are still valuable.

What 253 method… sounds nice, but it all depends on mentality. I just can't control my hands, I'm the kind of person who always goes all-in with full positions. Now my account is basically ruined.
Self-control is easy to say, but when a real correction comes, everyone gets panicked. This guy has managed to survive eight years, it's not easy. If it were me, I would have been liquidated long ago.
Is twenty million real or not? Posts like this in the crypto circle… I still reserve my opinion.

Restraint is well said, but I think the harder part is execution... After watching so many years of big V teachings in the crypto circle, the ones who truly survive are those who use this simple method.

253 sounds pretty stable, but I remember last time when I followed the batch method, those guys still got liquidated... Risk control is always more important than the methodology.
