When I first entered the space, who didn’t dream of making ten or even a hundred times their money? Seeing people in the group posting profit screenshots every day—how could your mentality not collapse? I was the same back then, staring at the screen until my eyes turned red. But those who actually survive in this market will tell you—consistently doubling your money is much harder than catching a single moonshot.

Last year, a friend came to me with just 5,000U in capital. His situation was a classic one: watching the charts daily, chasing pumps, panic selling on dips, trying to jump on every hot trend. After three months? He was left with just over 3,000. He even said himself, it felt like gambling, not investing.

I talked with him for a long time. I didn’t teach him any advanced tricks—just one thing: rhythm.

What was his biggest problem? No trading system. Seeing green candles, he thought things were about to take off; seeing red, he thought it was going to zero. He was completely driven by market emotions. The strategy I gave him was simple—split his position into five or six parts. Let’s say you have 100,000U available, only use one part at a time to buy spot.

Up 10%? Take some profits, lock it in.
Down 10%? Buy another portion to average down.
Just execute mechanically—don’t try to guess the top or bottom.

Sounds a bit dumb, doesn’t it? But think about it—there are two advantages: first, you’ll never get wiped out from one bad call; second, those small profits add up, and the power of compounding will exceed your expectations.

He wasn’t used to it at first. Once, a certain altcoin surged 30% and he didn’t chase it—he regretted it for days. But I told him, missing this one doesn’t mean you missed the whole bull market. Stick to your rhythm—there will always be more opportunities.

So what happened? In half a year, his 5,000U grew to over 20,000. He didn’t get rich overnight, but he said he sleeps much better now, doesn’t have to stare at charts until midnight, and doesn’t lose his mind over a single pullback.

I built up my own capital the same way, growing from a few thousand U bit by bit to where I am now. I don’t always catch the absolute top, nor always buy the very bottom, but what matters is consistency.

A lot of people ask me how to set take-profit and stop-loss. Actually, the answer is in position sizing. If you split your position small enough, only moving a little money each time, your mindset will naturally be steadier. While others are stuck fully loaded halfway up a mountain cursing, you can calmly keep adding or reducing according to your plan.

At the end of the day, this market is never short on opportunities. What’s lacking? People who can stay calm in the face of temptation and not lose their head in panic.

If you’re still struggling with whether to chase highs or buy the dip, give this method a shot. You don’t need top-level technical analysis or to stare at the charts 24/7. You just need to stick to your rhythm.

Remember: Getting rich quick is about luck, but steady profits come from having a system and patience. The market will always be here, but your capital—and your sanity—can’t take too many reckless hits.
