Many people envy others for making money in the crypto world, but the secret has never been about predicting market trends, rather about a repeatable method of building positions. I am 38 years old, and over the past few years, I have gradually accumulated a substantial account net worth through the "253 Batch Building Method," earning tens of millions in unrealized gains. This is not some genius move; in fact, it is the "dumbest" approach—yet because it is simple, it can be sustained the longest.

**Why build positions in batches?**

The crypto space is full of stories of overnight riches, but the more you hear, the more traps you fall into. The most common mistake is beginners going all-in immediately, getting excited with small gains, and panicking with small dips. I have seen too many people wipe out their accounts with a single full-position trade. Instead of gambling on one shot, it’s better to secure consistent gains—this is the purpose of batching.

Take ETH as an example. Suppose you plan to invest 100,000 into a position pool:

**Step 1 (20%): Light testing**

Start by investing 20,000 to test the waters. This step may seem insignificant, but it’s hugely effective—holding a small position means you can stay calm even during market volatility. Many people lose money in crypto not because they are wrong about the judgment, but because their psychological defenses collapse. A small position helps you avoid this pitfall, allowing you to understand the market rhythm at low cost.

**Step 2 (50%): Gradual replenishment**

The remaining 50,000 is added gradually. This core strategy is based on simple logic:
- If the market rises, wait for a pullback before adding more
- If the market falls, add slowly at a pace of "buying 10% more after an 8% drop"

What’s the benefit of this approach? No matter how the market swings, your average cost is gradually lowered. You won’t get stuck with a single entry point, nor will you regret not adding more during rebounds. In continuous volatility, batching becomes your strongest weapon.

**Step 3 (30%): Confirm trend before adding**

When major coins like ETH break key levels and hold without falling back, add the final 30%. This step confirms the previous two, rather than blindly chasing highs. The entire building process is never rushed, but instead more resilient.

**It looks simple, so why is it effective?**

The hardest part in crypto is never finding "miracle operations," but controlling your desires. Resisting greed for full positions, and overcoming the fear of cutting losses when prices fall. I can stay relatively calm amid volatility not because I am smarter than others, but because this "253" method automatically helps me avoid most common pitfalls.

You will see many people chasing highs and selling lows, trying to take shortcuts, only to see their accounts blow up during a market correction. Those who stick to "stay calm, avoid greed, build in batches" gradually gain an advantage in the same market. This advantage isn’t about making 10x profits in one shot, but about consistently earning 1x over multiple times. The power of compound returns over time is often even more astonishing.

**Why do beginners still avoid this method?**

Because it’s too ordinary. No tempting quick profits, no instant turnaround, it looks like a waste of time. But that’s its greatest strength—what can be consistently executed is truly useful. The crypto world doesn’t lack people who understand market trends; it lacks those who can stay steady and take one step at a time.

If you are still exploring, try this method. Don’t aim for soaring heights, just aim to be more stable each time. In the long run, stability is the biggest victory.
