Cryptocurrency circles are like a sinister vortex—some deal in air coins, some play with 100x leverage dreaming of a turnaround, but most are awakened from their dreams by liquidation. I take a different path, never believing in "getting rich overnight," only trusting in steady and prudent growth.
When I entered in 2018, I only had $3,000. At that time, the hottest trend in the crypto world was "doubling in a week." I didn't follow the hype; instead, I split my principal into 5 parts. The rules are simple: closely monitor mainstream coins like BTC, buy small amounts when the price drops more than 10%, and decisively sell once the target is reached—never chase after small profits.
What was the result? I made $520 in the first month, and within three months, my account soared to $8,300. I continued trading in waves at this pace, eventually surpassing $80,000.
Over the years, I have adhered to three bottom lines: during a bear market, don’t try to catch the bottom—just follow the plan and buy in stages; during a bull market, set take-profit points and get out early; trust no "inside information," never invest more than 20% of your total funds in a single coin. No matter how large my account gets, I stick to this rule.
In recent years, I’ve become even stricter—using trading bots to place orders, fixing take-profit at 8%-10%, and setting stop-loss firmly at 5%. I’d rather miss some market opportunities than let a single mistake ruin years of accumulation.
Looking back on this journey, my biggest insights are these: splitting funds is your safety net; diversification allows you to survive longer; don’t bet on market direction—most who do lose; discipline is more valuable than intelligence. Take it slow; small profits accumulate, and eventually, they become large returns. The crypto market has never lacked people dreaming of overnight riches; what it needs are clear-headed traders who can stick to their bottom line.

This guy is just a living trading machine. Only an inhumane money-making machine could survive until now.

It's really true that discipline is worth more than anything; I just didn't stick to it and lost out.
---
Taking profits at 8%-10% sounds boring, but it definitely saved me from bigger losses. That's the right way.
---
Where are those 100x leverage people now? Asking around, they've probably been wiped out.
---
Diversified investments have truly saved me several times; otherwise, I would have gone all-in on some shitcoin long ago.
---
This approach feels a bit familiar; I, too, was baited by "inside information" and doubted life, never to trust again.
---
Reaching 80,000 USDT steadily is much better than those who had their dreams of overnight riches shattered.
---
Setting a 5% stop-loss is indeed cold-blooded but effective; emotional trading ruins accounts the most.

Really, I've been doing the same thing over the past few years, just not as aggressively as he is. A 10% take-profit for robots sounds conservative, but it actually lasts longer.
