In 2025, I fully dove into the deep waters of the crypto market. At the beginning of the year, I started dollar-cost averaging into BTC and SOL on a major exchange, investing a fixed amount weekly without interruption. During this period, I also took advantage of the hot AI concept to add a few promising coins in different tracks. Although I experienced some setbacks along the way, the exchange's grid trading features and financial products helped a lot, stabilizing my overall returns.



By the end of the year, when Bitcoin surged to $150,000, my account size nearly tripled. How did I achieve this? My core insight is simple: long-term holding of truly quality assets, combined with regularly reviewing my trading records, is much more reliable than frequent trading, chasing highs, and panic selling.

The biggest fortunate was using the right tools. An all-in-one trading platform allowed a beginner like me to understand and utilize various features without switching back and forth between a dozen apps. In 2026, I plan to continue increasing my efforts and go all-in on the crypto direction.
BTC-1,14%
SOL-3,14%

Dollar-cost averaging is truly amazing; you just need to endure those days of 50% drops. Making three times the profit sounds impressive, but honestly, it's still about time in the market. I've also been using grid trading; it can really help in emergencies.

Damn, really tripled? Why am I still cutting losses? Alright, I believe it. The key is to hold on and not make reckless moves. DCA is really the ultimate, it tests human nature, brother. Grid trading really has some substance; it has saved me several times. Are average millionaires just around the corner? Feels like I’m still in the exploration stage. One-stop platform is indeed convenient; no more jumping back and forth. This return really makes me envious. If it weren’t for frequent stop-losses, I would have tripled my investment long ago. HODL high-quality assets, that’s so true. I’ve been caught in traps due to frequent trading. Next year, all in again? Or play it safe?

Hmm... Doubling the investment sounds great, but to put it nicely, it's just betting on the right time window, not some black technology. Dollar-cost averaging is indeed stable, but it tests human nature; most people can't stick with it for three months.

This is the magic of dollar-cost averaging. To be honest, I also follow this strategy, but the key is to endure those days of significant drawdowns in the middle.

Alright, this dollar-cost averaging strategy is indeed solid, just a bit regretful that I didn't get in earlier.
