1. I have also been left with nothing.

I remember the winter of 2018 very clearly. At that time, I was curled up in the hallway of my rented place, nibbling on cold steamed buns, with five credit cards all maxed out and over 20,000 in debt, having to think twice even about buying a bowl of hot noodle soup. The debt collection calls came one after another, and my phone could be smashed at any moment.

During that time, someone talked to me about the "turnaround of the crypto market" story, and I could just spit the bun crumbs in his face – what else can this thing do besides scamming money?

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. I didn't rely on any high-end secrets; instead, I used a "down-to-earth" moving average method to work my way from debt to having so many numbers in my account that I can't even count them. If you ask me what the secret is—there's actually no secret. It's just about surviving in the crypto market, relying not on "betting right on a big trend" but on the results achieved through persistent hard work.

2. Why I Abandoned All Complex Indicators

In the first two years of entering the circle, I was also crazy. Chasing after so-called "big names" to play with leverage, watching all kinds of flashy altcoins on my screen every day, and ended up losing all my last 4000 living expenses in just a week. It was only when the debt collectors blocked me downstairs at my company that I realized one thing:

I am not here to get rich. I am here to pay off debts and to survive.

Once this thought came to me, everything became clear. I deleted all those complex indicators and left only one thing on the screen—the 30-day moving average. Just like holding onto a utility pole tightly during a storm, no matter how others shout, "There’s a shortcut this way," I truly wouldn’t let go.

3. My Coin Selection Logic

Now my criteria are so simple that they cannot be simpler. When filtering a coin, I look at three points:

MACD must be above the 0 axis and a golden cross must occur;
The price must stabilize above the 30-day moving average for three consecutive days—one day less does not count;
Trading volume must be accompanied; it can't be the kind that just remains silent.

Just these three conditions. There is no so-called "technical analysis" lengthy discourse, nor a bunch of nonsense about "fundamental research." 90% of people in the market will find this too boring: "Where's the thrill of making big money?" And what’s the result? Most of them end up crying after chasing highs and selling lows.

4. The key is execution and mindset.

This set of things, put simply, a middle school student can understand it after reading it once. But how many can really stick with it? I've observed that fewer than one in ten can. Because it's not stimulating.

There is no thrill of "going all in and getting rich overnight." What there is instead is the monotony of watching the K-line every day, adjusting positions weekly, staying steady during pullbacks, and not being greedy during rebounds.

The hardest part is not learning this method, but being able to withstand the psychological pressure when the market is crazy, and you see others making ten or twenty times their investment while your portfolio has only increased by a few percent. Can you continue to believe in the simple method? That is the real test.

5. To be honest: There is no perfect strategy.

My method is not invincible either. When a bear market comes, prices still fall, and if you choose the wrong coin, you still lose money. But the difference is - when you use a clumsy method to make a wrong choice, the amount of money you lose is controllable. Those who play with leverage, go all in, or chase trends can wipe out their accounts with a single mistake.

In five years, I have gradually climbed from debt to my current position within the logic of "controlling risks and steadily compounding returns." During this time, there are no amazing stories, no moments of "soaring to great heights"; there is only repetition, repetition, and more repetition.

The cryptocurrency market plays out the drama of shattered dreams of sudden wealth every day. However, if you can stick to a simple, replicable method and make steady progress day by day, then five or ten years later, you will realize — the ones who truly make money are never those who try to "get rich overnight," but rather those who live the longest and make the fewest mistakes.
