After years of investing, I've gradually realized one thing — chasing after K-line charts and various data points is actually a futile effort. Because the data available in the market has long been digested into the prices by all participants. Institutions and quant teams use algorithms for precise pricing, while retail investors try to catch the bottom or sell at the top by looking at data? Honestly, this game has never been fair from the start.

Instead of chasing hot trends and guessing ups and downs, it's better to think through another set of principles —

**Finding the right track is the first step.** Different sectors within blockchain have different cycles, such as AI concepts, Layer 2, RWA… Choosing the wrong direction makes all efforts futile.

**Then comes execution.** Enter gradually, accumulate through dollar-cost averaging, and set clear rules: stop-loss at a certain point, take profit at a certain point, and decide when to add positions. This isn’t mechanical; it’s the only way to protect yourself. Many failures happen because there are no rules — chasing gains and selling at losses, going all-in at once, and ending up getting cut.

**The most difficult part is mindset.** Don’t expect to double your money on a single trade; aim for monthly gains slightly higher than monthly losses. Stick to this rhythm, and time will reward you. It sounds incredibly simple, but very few retail investors can truly do it.

Take your time, and you’ll go far.
