#2026年比特币价格展望 $RIVER and $BREV's "Lazy Man's Earning Method"—Why I Turned 10K into 1 Million in Half a Year
I've heard a saying: "Enduring ten years of struggle isn't as good as riding the trend for ten days." Honestly, I didn't believe it before. Until I personally turned 10K into 100K in half a year, I truly understood what this phrase means. But it's not because I predicted the trend accurately; frankly, it's because I was lazy—lazy enough to keep my trend-following rational and not fall into mindless gambling.
I've seen too many beginners follow trend strategies with one move: heavy position, aggressive冲冲. When losing, they add more; when winning, they go all in. The result is they lose more and more.
My approach is exactly the opposite. I only add to positions with floating profits, tightly lock in stop-losses, and never use leverage exceeding 3x.
**Step 1: Divide the principal**
Split 10K into two parts. Half (5,000) is locked into a safe account as a "ballast," never touched. The other half (5,000) goes into the trading account. Even if the platform allows higher leverage, I only open 10% positions—so the actual risk is similar to a conservative setup.
Set stop-loss at 2%. Max loss is 100 yuan, only 1% of the total principal, far from the warning line. This way, I feel more at ease.
**Step 2: Only seize "certain opportunities"**
In May last year, a mainstream asset fell for three days straight and even triggered panic signals. I entered at the low. After three weeks, when it reached the target, I fully sold, netting 35,000 yuan.
The real secret to trend-following is to first build a solid principal base. With stronger risk resistance, you have the capital to "snowball" later.
**Step 3: Use profits to grow, keep principal intact**
Once, a hot asset traded sideways for 38 days, then suddenly its trading volume surged 30% and broke previous highs. I decided to build a position with 2x leverage.
When it rose 10%, I moved the stop-loss to the cost price. When it rose another 10%, I added to the position with floating profits, keeping leverage within 3x. If all goes well, two rounds of this can generate substantial returns.
**Four strict rules**
1. Always set a stop-loss before building a position. No matter how beautiful the trend looks, don’t change this.
2. When profits reach 30%, immediately take 20% into a safe account.
3. After two consecutive losses, stop for 48 hours and review.
4. If monthly losses exceed 10% of the principal, stop trading for the month and don't operate further.
Market volatility is narrowing, and simply holding on stubbornly won't yield big gains.
Actually, using leverage reasonably isn't scary. What's scary is disorderly operation. Proper risk segmentation, focusing only on certain opportunities, and being "a bit lazy" can instead steadily grow your account.
Survivors who make money in the market are never those who dare to reach out recklessly. They are those who "lazily" control risk.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. I've seen too many people lose so much they start doubting life... This risk diversification strategy is indeed reliable.

10,000 to 1,000,000? Bro, your story is really well told, but it sounds a bit familiar to me.
Putting 20,000 yuan of principal at risk like that, I really respect it, but I still think I'm too inexperienced.
A 2% stop-loss is really ruthless; it requires iron will to execute, I often get soft-hearted.
I must copy the rule of stopping after two consecutive losses; the worst thing is losing more and getting more hooked.
But to be honest, those who really make money do it quietly and never boast online.

If only I had been this "lazy" back then, I wouldn't still be regretting last year's market surge...

That's right, it's just about being "lazy," which is a hundred times better than messing around aimlessly.

It sounds impressive, but 99% of people can't implement this theory. Once their mindset collapses, it's all over.

It sounds like a steady compound interest strategy, but in practice, most people still can't resist the temptation.
