Life depends on strength and reality, not emotions and illusions. This is especially true in the crypto world—making money is the hard truth.

With a material foundation, the details of life will fade away; without material support, the details will be magnified infinitely. Only with age do I realize that happiness often requires money to sustain.

Many people are curious: how did you accumulate such an asset size in the crypto world? Did you gain insider information that others don’t know?

Honestly, if there really were a "close your eyes and earn" secret, I would have already retired from the scene. The reason I’ve come this far is because of a seemingly "stupid" but effective approach—slow, steady, and not greedy.

When I first entered the circle, I was no different from most people. I kept an eye on the market every day, chasing hot trends, rushing wherever a coin was hot. The result? Every time I chased, I lost; within a few months, half of my principal was gone. That moment, I truly woke up: the game in the crypto circle isn’t about who earns faster, but about who survives longer.

After that, I set three unshakable principles for myself:

**First, only invest in coins whose logic I understand.** If I don’t understand the project mechanism or can’t see through it, no matter how tempting, I won’t touch it.

**Second, always leave a backup plan.** Set the maximum position at 70%, with the remaining 30% as psychological confidence and emergency bullets.

**Third, wait for the "consensus + signal" resonance before taking action.** For example, when mainstream coins show trend reversal signals, or when on-chain capital flow shows obvious abnormal movements.

The most unforgettable was the spring of 2023. While the entire network was going all-in on MEME coins, I stubbornly didn’t follow the trend. As a result, everyone earned and then lost it all, while I bought ETH and other mainstream assets at low prices during market quiet periods, and my account multiplied fivefold in one round.

From that moment, I truly understood— the core of the crypto circle isn’t "precision," but "patience."

Wait for the market to show a clear direction, wait for signals to become truly clear, wait for emotions to cool down before entering. That year, I only made six moves, but each was a high-probability operation.

While others stay up late watching the market, I spend only half an hour each day reviewing, and the rest of the time drinking tea, exercising, and spending time with family. By the end of the year, I had steadily accumulated 380,000 USD. When the bull market started the next year, I simply repeated this method mechanically and reached a million in assets.

That’s why I often tell people, there are no shortcuts in the crypto world. It’s not about flashes of inspiration or insider information, but about discipline and patience.

What about you now? Are you still chasing hot spots everywhere? Or have you learned to slow down and use patience to achieve long-term gains?
