Resist greed to live longer



I've been in the crypto market for nearly ten years, witnessing too many people enter with full confidence, only to leave despondently a few months later. It wasn't until later that I realized that those who truly survive in this market rely not on miraculous predictive insights or insider information, but on a seemingly simple yet highly disciplined method.

Looking back, the most painful lessons all stemmed from the same mistake: going all-in with full position. I've seen people get excited at a 10% gain and then get carried away, or cut their losses at a 5% decline and run. The result? Many actually lose money during a bull market. In contrast, using the "253 Partial Positioning Method," I have steadily earned over 50 million in the past few years.

**Why is partial positioning more profitable than going all-in at once?**

Many people haven't considered this question: how risky is it to go all-in at once? Instead of gambling like that, it's better to split your investment into several parts, which can control drawdowns and lower the average cost. For example, with 10,000 USDT invested in BTC, my approach is as follows:

**Step 1 — Use 20% for light initial exploration**

Start with 2,000 USDT. The advantage of a small position is that no matter how volatile the market is, it won't affect your mindset. This step mainly provides a buffer for yourself and also avoids the common rookie mistake—going all-in right after entering.

**Step 2 — Follow the market rhythm with the remaining 50%**

This is the key to the entire method. If the market rises, patiently wait for a pullback; if it falls, I will gradually add to my position at a pace of "adding 10% of the remaining position every 8% drop." Persisting like this, regardless of market fluctuations, your average cost will gradually decrease.

**Step 3 — Keep some flexible funds**

The final 30% is reserved for flexibility. This money isn't idle but set aside for sudden opportunities. When a major crash occurs, this portion of funds becomes your trump card.

This method may sound simple, but executing it requires strong psychological resilience. Don't be greedy when prices rise, don't be afraid when they fall, and your average cost will naturally level out. Those who ask me again after a year often are either wildly rich or have lost everything. The difference lies in the execution of these details.

Haha, the 253 batch method sounds good, but how many can really stick with it? Most people still can't resist the temptation.

All-in traders are just newbies; I've seen through that a long time ago.

Exactly right, those who go all-in have all become the little green onions (retail investors).

Ah, damn it. I've been studying this for ten years and still haven't fully understood it. It's always only clear after the fact... Listening to 253 batches sounds simple, but when the market goes through twists and turns, I still get itchy to go all-in. And the result? Losses.
