#数字资产市场洞察 Over the past few years in the crypto world, my biggest realization is—don't be bound by the curse of chasing gains and selling losses! Speaking of making money, I have to thank that legendary senior for his guidance; with a 100,000 yuan principal, I managed to reach 42 million.

That day, over drinks and chat, he left me with a sentence: "Most of the crypto world is a rabble; control your emotions, and this market will become your ATM." I’ve been pondering this sentence for three years.

What he taught me isn’t some profound theory, but four seemingly stupid methods that, when actually used, prevent you from stepping into pits.

**First: Don’t chase small gains or suffer big losses**
Many people fall into a strange cycle—if it rises 5%, they get anxious, fearing missing out, and just run away, only to watch the price double. If they don’t run, they keep staring at the screen, regretting only when profits start to shrink. Repeatedly hesitating, they end up not making any big money.

**Second: Only focus on mainstream coins that have fallen to the point no one is talking about them**
I don’t look at new coins at all, nor do I do risky, blood-sweat-and-tear trades. Instead, I wait until the mainstream coins are truly bottomed out, with even the shouting dying down. At this point, I dare to throw in some core holdings, with a safety cushion in place. This method can maximize avoiding those flashy traps.

**Third: Confirm the trend before adding positions**
I don’t greedily buy at the lowest point. Rather than betting on the bottom, I prefer to buy a bit more expensive, only adding when the signals are confirmed. While others are gambling on direction in the fire and flames, I wait until the market pattern is truly clear and the trend has retraced, then steadily increase my position—steady and cautious, avoiding unnecessary risks.

**Fourth: Take profits in stages**
When the market rises, I take out my principal and half of the profits in stages. The remaining funds can be whatever the market does; I’ve already secured the gains I wanted. This way, I sleep well and am no longer haunted by the fear of profits flying away.

Last year, a buddy lost over 600,000 yuan, but he used these four methods. In less than half a year, he not only filled the hole but also bought a BMW X3. Many say these methods are too "stupid," but the world is never short of smart people; what’s truly lacking are the "stupid" people who can control their hands and endure.

When others are driven crazy by emotions, chasing gains and selling losses, what you need to do is stay calm, follow the real market fluctuations, and naturally pick up the money others drop.

Is taking the "smart route" and ending up doubting life due to losses, or taking the steady "stupid method" to make consistent profits? The decision has always been in your hands.
