Many people enter the crypto world with the idea of getting rich overnight, thinking they must master complex technical indicators, understand candlestick charts, and study various trading strategies. In reality, I have seen too many such people—staring at RSI, MACD all day, researching every indicator thoroughly, only to find their accounts becoming more and more chaotic, and ultimately getting liquidated twice, completely crushed by the market.



The truth about the crypto world is actually quite harsh: the smarter people are, the more likely they are to lose money. Those who actually make money tend to use the simplest, most straightforward methods.

Instead of watching the market every day, it’s better to adopt a simple and feasible phased accumulation approach. This method may sound very basic, and its logic couldn’t be simpler, but its execution can outperform those indicator enthusiasts by a long shot.

**Step 1: Invest 30% to test the waters**

Choose mainstream coins with good liquidity like BTC, ETH, SOL, and invest 30% of your total funds. This isn’t a full-blown all-in gamble, but rather taking a position first, observing the market clearly before making further moves. With coins and market trends, the key is to avoid getting stuck too badly. Don’t bother with altcoins and Meme tokens—they tend to have poor liquidity and high risk of zeroing out.

**Step 2: Add to your position with 40% during market dips**

When the price drops, don’t panic—this is actually an opportunity to lower your average cost. When the price falls about 10%, use 10% of your remaining funds to add to your position, up to a maximum of 40%. By doing this, even if the market continues to decline later, your average cost will keep decreasing.
BTC-2,35%
ETH-3,76%
SOL-5,8%

Well said. I used to be that kind of fool who studied indicators every day, and as a result, I got liquidated in a single pullback. Now I am just patiently accumulating BTC in batches.

Haha, really. I used to be the kind of fool who watched the charts every day and studied indicators, only to lose everything miserably... Now I just believe in simple and straightforward methods, and I've actually survived.

Exactly right. All the buddies around me who study indicators every day are losing money more and more badly. It's better to stick with mainstream coins and not mess around.

Haha, I've played this strategy a long time ago. To put it simply, don't be greedy. Diluting costs is really the ultimate move. It's true. My friends who are obsessed with certain research indicators have now gone to zero, while I still have some capital left, just because I don't mess around. I've stepped into the all-in trap twice. Now I only follow one principle—quietly topping up and only breaking even is the real deal. That's spot on. I'm just worried that newcomers won't listen and will only realize these truths after a margin call. Gradually building positions is indeed more stable. It's much more reliable than my previous airdrop farming days when I was a bit reckless. Yeah, the indicator enthusiasts just end up trapping themselves. The more they research, the more they lose. I've seen this problem many times. Simple and straightforward is the strongest. Reinvesting a few times brings down the average cost. That's much better than staring at K-line charts every day. That makes sense. Mainstream coins at least won't go to zero. They're a hundred times better than those Meme projects. Even if you can't free-ride, you should play it safe.

That's right, most of the indicator masters around me are basically out of the game, while friends who are too lazy to watch the market are actually making pretty comfortable profits.
