Having observed the crypto market for many years, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon—most people lose because they overcomplicate things.

Chasing hot topics, watching news, guessing what will rise next—these sound professional, but in reality, they are bets. Those who truly grow small accounts into large ones never rely on these methods.

My own experience might be the most convincing. In two years, I grew from $20,000 to $1,400,000. If I had to summarize the secret, it’s four words: Discipline.

**Strategy Level**

While others make a dozen trades in one night, I usually open only one or two per day. Others chase new coins, I focus only on a few mainstream coins. While others sweat over minute charts, I spend most of my time as an observer, only acting when necessary.

How exactly do I do it? I select 2-3 coins I understand well and follow them long-term without switching. Set entry and exit prices in advance, execute when the time comes, and don’t change mid-way. Always use only a portion of the total funds for positions, never full margin. After placing take-profit and stop-loss orders, I don’t touch the market regardless of volatility.

It sounds dull, but this “simple method” really makes money in the end.

**Psychological Level**

The real killers in the crypto market are not those with poor skills, but those who can’t control their impulses. Every second in the market is tempting—today’s price is up again, will it continue tomorrow? Should I add to my position? These thoughts are the beginning of account shrinkage.

I’ve also experienced drawdowns. Starting from $20,000, progress was slow at first. I made small profits and small losses, and at one point, I shrank back to just over $10,000. But I didn’t break my rules, didn’t gamble everything, just persisted. Climbing step by step, after two years, I reached $1,400,000.

**Execution Logic**

You can definitely learn this approach, but the only prerequisite is: patience.

Trade less, control your position size, think through your entry and exit logic thoroughly, then follow through. In crypto, longevity depends not on aggressiveness but on stability. This has nothing to do with long-term spot holdings or short-term futures trading; the key is whether you have a system and whether you can execute it.

Many people keep trial-and-erroring in confusion, and the cost they pay is often much higher than simply learning a feasible plan. The core of crypto trading, after all, is this simple—discipline is greater than talent.
