I heard a story about an old hand who invested 100,000 yuan in the crypto world and now has 42 million in his account. He told me a word that enlightened me: "The crypto market is just a gathering of mobs. As long as you control your greed, this place becomes a cash machine."

The profit strategies he figured out are worth a detailed explanation:

**First Trick: Don’t make small profits, don’t lose big money.** It sounds easy, but in practice, it’s extremely difficult. For example, with a 20,000 yuan position, if the price rises to 21,000 yuan, quickly take profit and lock in 5%. But the market might surge all the way to 25,000 yuan, and you watch 50% profit slip away. Later, he changed his approach—never take profits early. When a 20,000 yuan position rises to 21,000 yuan, hold on, but eventually it falls below 20,000 yuan, hitting stop-loss at 21,000, 20,500, and 19,500. Many people get stuck on this problem and never get out.

**Second Trick: Focus on mainstream coins that have already bottomed out and started to stabilize.** Don’t chase new coins or speculate on where the absolute bottom is. Wait until the coin has fully dropped and slowly climbs back to stability. Then, invest 10% of your capital as a base position. This method isn’t the smartest, but it helps avoid most pitfalls—solid and safe.

**Third Trick: Only consider adding to your position once the trend is confirmed.** While others scramble to buy at the halfway point, I wait until the trend is clear and the coin is on an upward trajectory. During a pullback, add 20%-30% more. Even if the average cost is higher, it’s better than being trapped and gives more room for error.

**Fourth Trick: Take profits when you make money, don’t go all-in.** After each market rally, withdraw your principal and half of the profits. Keep the remaining chips to ride market fluctuations. No matter how crazy the market gets, sell at your target price—never greed for more. Last year, I used this method to help a brother who lost over 600,000 yuan. In half a year, he not only recovered his losses but also bought a BMW X3.

The crypto world is never short of smart people; what’s lacking are those who can hold their ground and be patient—"fools" who stick to their strategies. While others chase the highs and sell at lows, you follow the trend steadily, and in the end, you pick up profits others discard. Instead of bleeding on various "smart methods," it’s better to stick to these "foolish" approaches and steadily earn real money step by step.
