In the crypto world, after staying for a long time, you will notice a seemingly paradoxical phenomenon—many people's failures are not due to wrong directions, but because they started off on the wrong path of effort from the very beginning.



The most typical problem occurs with beginners. They firmly believe that more research and learning can reduce losses. As a result? They spend every day刷信息,跟KOL, and study various indicator systems. The system becomes increasingly complex, but their accounts become emptier and emptier. On the surface, they seem to be progressing, but in reality, they are just using complexity to hide their lack of discipline.

Today chasing AI narratives, tomorrow being blinded by MEME emotions, the day after believing in so-called "insider information." Switching five coins in a week, three different trading systems. They shout about optimizing strategies and pursuing perfection, but deep down they know—the truth is, they don't want to admit that their last trade was a wrong judgment. So they keep changing targets and methods frequently, spreading out their mistakes so it seems less damaging.

It was only after losing money for several years that I was forced to admit a harsh truth: 90% of retail traders don't lose because they are going in the right direction, but because they have too many choices.

So I simplified my entire trading framework to the bare minimum: single coin + single direction + swing cycle. Simple to the point of being laughable, yet incredibly stable.

How to execute specifically? Step one, focus only on one coin, choose between BTC or ETH. Don’t chase hot topics, don’t follow narratives, and definitely don’t become emotional collateral. Your only real advantage is focus. Stick to one coin for three months, and you'll understand its behavior better than 99% of people.

Step two, trade with the trend. Go long in a rising market, go short in a falling market. Don’t bottom fish, don’t guess tops, don’t fantasize about reversals. The market is the master; you are just an employee. When the boss gives you work, do it; when not, rest. You don’t need to fully understand the trend, just obey and execute.

Step three, tiered position building. Use small positions as entry tickets, add to positions after confirming the trend, take profits in stages as the trend develops, and exit immediately if you judge incorrectly. The ultimate success or failure is never determined by win rate, but by the design of your position structure.

This is not just theory—last June, a fan entered the market with only 6,000 USDT. No insider info, no heavy holdings, no fancy operations—just these three things: follow the trend, patiently wait, and strictly follow discipline. In just over a month, 6,000 USDT turned into 21,000 USDT. This is not a miracle; it’s the compound effect of discipline.

Why do so few people learn this method? Because it’s too boring. Sitting in cash waiting is uncomfortable, accepting every failure requires mental resilience, and giving up the fantasy of quick riches is even more painful. The淘汰机制 in the crypto world is brutal; it’s not about who is the smartest, but who can control themselves best.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who invests in five different coins a week, and I get chills just thinking about it now.

That's exactly right, that's the feeling. I also took several years to realize that complexity equals finding excuses to lose money.

Exactly, you're so right. I used to analyze all kinds of indicators every day, but the more I researched, the more my account lost. Now I only focus on BTC, which is so simple that it's ridiculously stable.

I agree with this logic, but to be honest, executing it is really deadly... I've given up after trying twice to wait in a vacant position.

To be honest, that really hits home. I used to be the kind of fool who switched coins five times a week, and as a result, my account was bleeding profusely. Looking back now, I realize I was just too greedy and lacked the discipline.
