Four years in the crypto world, I went from a tech enthusiast to a believer.

Back in those days, I was obsessed with candlestick charts, studying MACD, RSI every day, trying to predict the next market move. The result? Making money and losing money, losing and then making money again, with my account balance barely moving, and I even blew up my positions a few times. Until an old player told me one thing: the biggest taboo in trading crypto is complexity.

The method he taught me sounds ridiculously simple—The 343 DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) Strategy. I didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking how could such a stupid method make money? But in just two months, my 200,000 yuan capital turned into over five million. Now, looking back, I understand why the smarter people in crypto tend to lose more: they always try to beat the market instead of following it.

**No prediction, just follow**

The core idea of the 343 method is six words: Don’t guess the rise or fall, buy according to plan.

The first stage is 30% initial position. Choose mainstream coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, etc.), and allocate 30% of your total funds to test the waters. The key point is to never go all-in at once—that’s the bottom line.

The second stage is 40% add-on. There are two scenarios—if the price rises, don’t chase the high; wait for a pullback and add another 40%. If the price drops, it’s even better—buy 10% of your funds each time it falls by 10%. This way, you gradually lower your average cost. The lower the cost during a dip, the bigger the space for a rebound later—this is a math problem, not luck.

The third stage is 30% finalization. When the price stabilizes at a key level (like the 7-day moving average), confirming the trend is steady, invest the remaining 30% all at once, and set a trailing stop to let profits run.

**Why is it effective**

Simply put, there are three points: First, don’t follow predictions, just follow the price; second, buying in batches naturally avoids the risk of being caught in a single entry; third, the lower the cost during a dip, the greater the profit potential during a rebound—like riding a rocket.

Looking at the current mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, using this method of staggered entry is much more reliable than constantly staring at the charts guessing ups and downs. Lastly, remember one thing: sticking to a simple method consistently will always earn more than occasionally trying complex strategies.
