#大户持仓动态 Many people spend a lot of time in the crypto market, only to find themselves caught in a vicious cycle of chasing rallies and selling dips, exhausting themselves in the process. In fact, all profitable traders are doing one thing — abandoning "smart" operations.
I know a senior trader who turned 100,000 yuan into 42 million. Once, during a chat, he said something I’ve always remembered: "There are too many mobs in the crypto world. If you can control your emotions, this market becomes your ATM."
He shared four seemingly "stupid" but actually super effective methods:
**First Trick: Don’t chase small gains, avoid big losses**
If it rises 5%, you want to sell, but then you miss out on a 10x rally. Holding on stubbornly might trap you at the top. Such indecision will never let you earn real money. Learn to sacrifice small profits for bigger trends.
**Second Trick: Only engage with mainstream coins that no one dares to look at after being hammered down**
Avoid new coins and new tracks — they’re too risky. When big coins like $BTC and $ETH drop to the point where everyone’s criticizing them, quietly build your core positions. By then, most of the risk has been released, and safety is maximized.
**Third Trick: Don’t try to catch the bottom, wait for clear signals before acting**
Instead of guessing the bottom, wait until the trend truly turns upward, then buy in stages. It’s okay to pay a bit more; the main thing is to avoid being stuck in the middle of a dip with no way out.
**Fourth Trick: Take profits in stages**
As each rally progresses, first take out your principal and half of the profits. Let the remaining funds ride the market’s fluctuations — your principal and profits are already secured.
Last year, I also helped a brother who lost over 600,000 yuan. Using this method, in half a year, he not only recovered his losses but also bought a new car. The crypto world isn’t short of experts; what’s missing are those "fools" who can control themselves and wait.
When others are controlled by emotions, you’re still holding firm — that’s like picking up money others drop. Whether you choose the "smart" path and risk losing everything, or the "stupid" way to steadily make money, the choice is always in your hands.

There's nothing wrong with that, but too many people can't control their impulses. They chase when prices go up, and cut their losses when things go south—serves them right for losing money.
My friend is the same way. Every time, they sell after a 5% gain, missing out on the biggest gains. Later, they just lie flat and hold, and surprisingly, they end up making money. The key is really to control your desires.
Chasing new coins is truly a tax on intelligence; it's better to wait until BTC is heavily criticized before making a move.
This "dumb method" is actually the most profitable, but unfortunately, most people can't do it.

Alright, no problem. What you said makes sense, but execution is too difficult; most people simply can't stick with it.

That's right, just controlling your hand is enough. I used to be eager to make a move before, and I almost always missed. Now I've learned to wait, and it's much more comfortable.

Exactly right, but executing it is deadly... I'm the kind of idiot who wants to run at 5%, and as a result, I keep missing big opportunities again and again.

That's right, you just need to control your hands and avoid reckless operations.
Really, many people end up losing everything because they trade too frequently, while those who can hold back gradually start to make money.
This method may sound simple, but it's actually about stability.

It's the same old motivational quotes again. I haven't seen them before... Oh right, I am the king of negative alpha. These words are useless to me.
The principal has long been gone, so what's the point of talking about taking profits in batches?

Exactly right, but it's really tough. I'm the kind of person who would sell after a 5% gain.
The ones who truly make money are indeed pretending to be fools. The few big players I know are very patient.
Chasing gains and selling losses has long become boring. You still need to learn to watch others cut their losses without moving yourself.
Damn, this is the fundamental reason why I lose money. So damn smart.
Why didn't I think of taking profits in batches? If I had listened to this advice earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation now.

Although... the data shows that most people tend to buy high and sell low, but hearing this theory again is still the same. The key issue is that miners are consuming too much, and even with lower fees, it's useless. Let's wait a bit longer; the historical lows haven't been seen yet.

No problem with what you're saying, just afraid you can't control your hands. Look at those who shout about bottom-fishing every day; in the end, they all end up as bagholders at the top.
It's easy to say but hard to do. Very few can truly let go of their "smartness."
Taking out the principal is the best move; at least you won't panic.
This is probably the difference between making quick money and making the right money.
Emotion management is easy to talk about, but when it comes to critical moments, panic still sets in.
Every day saying you want to give up smart operations, then turning around and betting on Bitcoin at the lowest point—ridiculous.
Come on, if I could really do the fourth move, I wouldn't be in this situation now.
Waiting for the signal to get in again—I've tried that, but it's easy to miss out on the early gains, which is frustrating.

That's right, emotional management is the ultimate secret weapon in the crypto world, don't mess around.

I've heard too many stories of "I want to buy the dip," and in the end, they all got caught haha.
---
This theory seems simple, but sticking to it is the real challenge. Most people still can't resist the urge.
---
Taking profits in batches—I'm a fan of this move. At least the principal won't be fully invested all at once.
---
Same as always, those who make money in the crypto world are never geniuses; they're just the ones who can endure.
---
Hey, not everyone is suited for this method. Some coins can't wait for that day.

Controlling your hands is better than anything else, really. I’ve lost money just because I couldn't resist making reckless moves.
