Having been involved in the crypto market for nearly ten years, experiencing four bull and bear cycles, witnessing Bitcoin's rise and fall from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, and seeing accounts go from negative to seven figures, the most frequently asked question is always: How much have I really made over the years?

Honestly, during the cycle from 2020 to 2022, my account balance did reach eight figures. Now, just staying in a good hotel during daily travels feels like being at home. Compared to the days ten years ago when I had a traditional job, the difference is like night and day.

Many people are curious—is this due to some innate talent, insider information, or the courage to go all-in?

None of that. The truth is quite straightforward—I'm relying on a set of "foolish methods" that have been mocked countless times.

**The Three-Stage Four-Ratio Investment Framework** is the core of this approach. Using Bitcoin as an example for easy understanding:

**Stage One: Basic Position Building**

Suppose I have 120,000 funds; I only invest 30%, which is 36,000. No chasing highs, no gambling on short-term fluctuations, no impulsive all-in. First, stabilize and build a solid core position that I can hold. At this point, others might already be all-in, but my idea is simple—staying alive is the most important.

**Stage Two: Gradual Additional Investment**

The price rises? I wait for a pullback to add more. The price drops? Every 10% decline, I add 10% of my position, gradually increasing the total investment to 40%. During this process, while others panic and cut losses, I keep lowering my average cost. The more it drops, the more I buy. It sounds a bit counterintuitive, but historically, the most substantial gains come from rebounds at the bottom.

**Stage Three: Confirmed Entry**

When the trend truly stabilizes and key signals confirm correctness, I concentrate the remaining 30% of funds into the market. By then, the risk has been fully managed, and profit potential is truly unlocked.

At first glance, this method may seem a bit foolish, but in the crypto world, the small group that makes big money often sticks to this kind of "foolish approach." Those greedy, impatient, chasing profits at every turn, or cutting losses at every dip, usually end up quitting halfway.

My secret is six words: **No greed, no rush, no chaos**.

While others stay up late watching minute charts, I can sleep peacefully. While others are trembling at every fluctuation, I steadily accumulate. While some dream of getting rich overnight, I just want to make consistent, steady profits.

Here's an interesting comparison: smart traders are often eaten up by market volatility, whereas those who follow these "foolish methods" can make money long-term. This framework is my way of withdrawing from the crypto market.

**Stability is the key to long-term success.** This is perhaps the most underestimated wisdom in our industry.
