#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 In the early morning at Shenzhen Bay, the fog still hasn’t lifted, but the city has already started its new day’s race. A 38-year-old trader stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee. Outside, he can see the balcony of his other apartment—his parents live there, while this place is a cozy nest for him and his wife.

Eight years ago, he couldn’t have imagined a life like this. Back then, he had 150,000 yuan in hand, thinking about taking a shot at the crypto market. The result? In less than half a year, he was down to 50,000. He chased altcoin highs and got trapped, got liquidated three times on contracts, and got burned by all kinds of so-called “insider” news.

The turning point came pretty suddenly. He didn’t switch tracks to stocks or something else, just stuck stubbornly to one approach: don’t chase trends, don’t trust rumors, and diligently compound through position rolling. Sounds old-fashioned and boring, but later, when a big bull run came, his base position multiplied 200 times in four months, netting him 20 million directly.

It sounds like bragging, but he really survived through that period—watching candlestick charts at 3 a.m. with bloodshot eyes, his phone never leaving his side. Now his assets are in the eight-figure range, and looking back on those years, he realizes making money didn’t rely on talent, just a few hard rules. Being stubbornly “dumb” actually worked.

**His summary of 8 “Dumb Methods”:**

Mindset is way more important than technique. When the market swings, if you panic your hands get messy, and your trading will definitely go off track. You have to stabilize your emotions before you take action.

When your principal is small, you need to save every penny. Catching one big opportunity a year is enough; don’t dream of going all-in on one shot. Save your ammunition for high-certainty moments.

Don’t touch money you don’t understand. Use paper trading to hone your skills, live trading to train your mentality. Just earn the part you understand, don’t be greedy for profits beyond your knowledge.

For mid- to long-term trades, always keep cash flow. Sell in batches when prices rise, buy slowly when they fall. Only with USDT in your pocket do you have maneuvering space—don’t back yourself into a corner.

For short-term trades, watch trading volume. If a coin’s volume doesn’t even make the market’s top 20%, blacklist it immediately—poor liquidity will get you stuck deep.

Fast drops and slow drops are different. Crashes often rebound, but slow, grinding declines are the real killers. Figure out this rhythm before taking action.

If your direction is wrong, cut losses immediately. As long as you have principal, opportunities will always be there. If you can’t bear to take a loss, you’ll just miss the next wave.

For short-term operations, use the 15-minute candlestick, look for buy/sell points with KDJ and MACD golden/death cross signals. Don’t let personal emotions get involved, and strictly execute the signals.

Climbing out from the masses who lose, break even, or win, all comes down to stubbornly sticking to this system. There are rags-to-riches stories in crypto every day, but those who survive long-term and still make money are the ones who have carved the rules into their bones.

Don’t mistake going all-in for bravery—surviving is more important than anything. The market is always there, and so are the opportunities, but you have to first survive those moments that make you question everything. On the crypto path, being a bit “dumb” and a bit slow can actually take you farther.
