Profiting in the crypto world has never been about being the smartest, but about those who can repeatedly perfect one thing.
My account is now in the 8-figure range, but this is not a story of overnight wealth. Seven years ago, I was going through a low point in life—divorced, left with nothing, and still carrying debt. When I entered the crypto space, I had nothing—no connections, no informational advantage, and no special talent. The only thing I could do was force myself to think clearly about one question: How can ordinary people survive in this circle?
After pondering for a long time, I found a seemingly "foolproof" method. It’s not flashy, not exciting, but I made over 5 million with this logic. The core is actually just one sentence—I don’t gamble, I only follow the trend.
How to follow? Very simple. I only do one thing when analyzing the market: open the daily chart, ignore all the 5-minute and 15-minute charts. Those only drive people crazy. Only when the MACD on the daily chart crosses above zero do I pay more attention. When this signal appears, the probability of the coin price trending is much higher than guessing blindly.
Once confirmed, I focus on one line: the daily moving average. If the price stays above it, I hold; if it breaks below, I exit immediately. Many people ask me how I buy. My answer is straightforward—when the price re-stabilizes above the daily moving average and volume increases, I get in directly. No trial positions. The screening mechanism has already filtered out most junk coins.
I’ve paid tuition in the selling part. Now, my rules are as strict as they can be: sell one-third when the gain reaches 40%; sell another third when it hits 80%; for the remaining part, if it falls below the daily moving average, I clear all positions. Making more or less doesn’t matter; only real cash in hand allows me to sleep peacefully.
The most critical point—if the next day the price falls below the daily moving average again, even if I like the coin, I must sell immediately. Don’t hold onto luck. I’ve seen too many people hesitate for that moment and end up getting cut in half later. Better to sell early than ride the roller coaster. Wait until it re-establishes above the daily moving average before re-entering.
Opportunities are always there in the market, but once the principal is gone, it’s really gone.
This method isn’t high-level or exciting, but it has taken me from nothing to where I am now. It’s not luck, but repeatedly doing the "correct but boring" things for many years.

Basically, it's about self-discipline. After reading so many stories in the crypto world, not a single person who makes real money does so by luck.
Sticking to the daily moving average requires discipline. It sounds simple but is difficult to do. You need strong mental resilience to execute it every time.
Those 5-minute charts can really drive people crazy. I used to get liquidated like that before.
The problem is that most people can't stick to it at all. They start to leverage and play tricks after making a little profit.
This guy has been honing his skills for seven years. Anyone would be exhausted.

It sounds a bit promising, but it just feels like good luck to have caught a bull market cycle.
This daily moving average strategy, to put it simply, is about chasing highs and selling lows. The key is to get the cycle right; otherwise, no matter how strict the discipline, it won't save you.
I agree with the last sentence—if the principal is lost, everything is over. That is indeed the truth.
Seven years from debt to eight figures sounds great, but now those entering the market will have to endure a few years of bear market baptism first.
The most terrifying thing about compound interest isn't the method itself, but being able to withstand the psychological torment. Most people can't hold on that long.

That's right, the key is to endure the boredom, as most people fail due to lack of execution.

Honestly, the daily moving average system is really boring to death, but it's this simple and straightforward approach that tends to last the longest, right?

That's right, but execution is too difficult. Most people still fail in their mindset—when they see a rise, they want to go all in; when it drops, they panic and cut their losses.
