I have been in the crypto world for 8 years and just turned 30 this year. Over the years, there are very few friends around me who truly understand this space. They usually don't ask "How much more can BTC go up?" but rather "Did you really make money?"

I won't hide it—during the 2021 to 2023 market cycle, my account balance steadily surpassed eight figures. This is not bragging; it's a solid achievement.

In these seven years of investing, I have only gone through three phases. Interestingly, the more chaotic the market, the less I trade:

From 50,000 to 1.5 million, it took 24 months. From 1.5 million to 8 million, only 12 months. From 8 million to 30 million, just 5 months.

The more I progress, the clearer a principle becomes— the speed of making money is inversely proportional to the frequency of your trades. Most people can't understand this.

My method isn't really mysterious; I just focus intensely on one pattern—the "N" shape.

How do I operate? First, a vertical upward push, then a diagonal pullback, followed by a vertical breakout. Once the pattern is confirmed, I get in. If the pattern breaks, I immediately cut the position. No leverage, no averaging down, stop-loss at 2%, take-profit at 10%, and I even program the trading rules directly into the exchange API to ensure an error margin of no more than 0.1%.

Some trading experts laugh at me, saying "You're too naive"—not looking at moving averages? Not checking hot news? With so many indicators, how can relying on a pattern make money?

But the reality is, those who stare at dozens of indicators and scroll through countless tweets every day tend to lose the fastest. I simplify the chart to the extreme: only look at the 4-hour candlestick chart, with a light gray 20-day moving average.

At the end of each day, I just take a quick glance. If there's an N pattern, I set a conditional order; if not, I turn off the computer. What do I do the rest of the time? Drink coffee, walk the dog, spend time with family—market ups and downs have nothing to do with me.

When I reach a critical position, I must "bleed" some profits out—this is crucial:

When I hit 1.5 million, I withdraw the entire principal. When I reach 8 million, I take half of the profits and let the rest compound and roll over.

The benefit of this approach is that even if a black swan event occurs the next day, the remaining position won't collapse. The risk is locked in.

My three iron rules for daily review:

First, don't chase the pump—wait for pattern confirmation. Second, don't hold onto losing positions—exit immediately if the level breaks. Third, don't fight the trend—withdraw once the target is reached.

There is no such thing as guaranteed profit in crypto; only a continuous filtering process. Filter out leverage, filter out FOMO, filter out noise—what remains is real gold.

Don't expect to become rich overnight. As long as you steadily earn 10% on your investments 20 times, turning 50,000 into 10 million is just a matter of time.

Over these years, I've endured the darkest nights in crypto and witnessed the brightest dawns. The market always rewards those with patience. When the next cycle arrives, do you want to stand in the light too?
