My little brother suddenly quit his job at the beginning of the year, bringing 50,000 yuan to my door: "Bro, I really don't want to keep going like this, I want to try my hand at Digital Money."

At that moment, my heart skipped a beat. 50,000 is just like beginner gear in this circle; if you're not careful, you'll lose everything. But I know his determination well; advising him wouldn't help, so I simply taught him the methods I had explored for two years.

A month later, WeChat popped up a big red packet. Opening it, the note just had two words: "treating." Checking the account again, it was already 140,000.

Luck? Nonsense. I know exactly how he has spent this month:

When selecting coins, I never chase the trending rankings, but instead choose those with clean and straightforward monthly charts and clear trends. Short-term fluctuations? I don't pay attention to them. I actually keep my distance from coins that experience explosive growth, waiting for a pullback, and only take action when there is significant volume near the key moving averages.

MATIC was the most typical example. At the position of the 60-day moving average, the trading volume suddenly increased, and he directly entered the market, later securing a steady 60% profit.

There was another time when OP broke the support level, and he was reluctant to sell, still asking me in the group what to do. I just said one word: "Cut." He gritted his teeth and cut, and that coin later dropped another 35%. He said that when he made that cut, his hands were shaking, but it was that cut that made him truly understand what discipline meant.

This guy is living quite well now: after dropping off the kid in the morning, he spends 20 minutes watching the market, and the rest of the time practicing calligraphy and meeting friends for tea. Compared to the days of working overtime every day to save for a down payment, this is how life should be lived.

He said to me: "I used to think that I had to seize every fluctuation, but now I understand that the real money-makers only wait for opportunities they can understand."

This is the underlying logic of this circle: the ones who make money are never the people who blindly operate by staring at the market every day, but rather those who have their own system and understand how to wait. There are plenty of opportunities, what’s lacking is whether you can understand them and whether you can endure.

I have been struggling here for eight years, losing 70% of my principal before I figured these things out. If you are still chasing trends and losing more and more, why not stop and think: are you really trading, or are you gambling?

Establishing a reliable system is more important than anything else.
