Making money relies on brains and capital, not luck and empty promises. The older you get, the more you realize that happiness has to be bought with money.

I often receive private messages asking me: "Sister, you've made several hundred thousand U in the circle, do you have any insider information?"

To be honest, I want to laugh every time. If there were really a way to make guaranteed profits without losses, I would have retired and enjoyed life a long time ago.

I can hold on until now, all thanks to three words - slow, steady, and cowardly.

When I first entered the circle, like everyone else, I rushed to whichever coin was skyrocketing, staring at the market until my eyes hurt. The result? Chasing one only to get trapped in another, and my principal was halved in three months.

At that moment, I realized: this market is not about who can run fast, but about who can survive.

Later, I set three rules for myself, and I haven't broken them to this day:

1️⃣ Don't touch projects you don't understand. If the mechanism is not clearly explained, just pass.
Always leave 30% of your position open. Enter with 70%, and keep 30% as a reserve.
3️⃣ Wait for clear signals from the market before taking action. Only act when there is a trend reversal in mainstream coins or unusual on-chain capital movements.

What I remember most clearly is the beginning of spring in 2023. The whole internet was going all in on MEME, but I managed to hold back. Later, those people made profits and then lost it all again. I took advantage of the lack of attention and bought $ETH at a low, and my account increased fivefold in a single wave.

After that time, I completely understood - in this market, "waiting" is a hundred times more important than "precision."

Wait for the trend to emerge, wait for the signals to become clear, and wait for the emotions to tide down before entering the market.

In that whole year, I only made six moves, but each time had a high win rate. While others stayed up late watching the market, I spent half an hour reviewing trades each day, and the rest of the time I drank tea, worked out, and spent time with my family. By the end of the year, I had securely pocketed 380,000 U. The following year, when the bull market came, I used the same method and reached the million level.

So I am now particularly certain: there are no shortcuts in this circle.

It's not relying on a flash of inspiration or inside information, but rather discipline combined with patience.

Are you still chasing trends? Or have you started to learn - to slow down a bit, but earn steadily?
