In this market, sometimes the simplest methods are the most effective.
I used a trading system that sounds "ordinary" to turn $2,000 into $18,000, a full 8x increase. Some might laugh when I say it, but the results are right there.
What’s most ironic? I don’t look at candlestick charts at all, don’t study indicators, and I’m too lazy to chase every message. I just do one thing—follow the trend.
Later, I summarized three rules, all very simple but surprisingly effective:
**Step 1: Enter the market when the trend first appears**
When the market just starts to rise, I initially invest 3% of my capital. No bottom fishing, no market prediction, no pretending to be an expert. Just steadily enter the market, avoiding those small coins and junk projects.
**Step 2: Add positions only after trend confirmation**
Only when the market really goes crazy do I increase my position by 20%-50%. Many people like to follow the main force when they bottom fish, but I don’t. I only do the "dumbest" thing—wait for trend confirmation before following. Ironically, this approach is the most stable.
**Step 3: Take profits when it’s time**
Set profit targets and stop-loss points in advance, don’t get anxious with the market. While others are still expecting the next surge, I’ve already exited.
I saw someone who learned from me, previously lost 370,000 yuan, and their mindset collapsed. After using this method for less than three months, they broke even. They later told me, "This move is really dumb, but it really makes money."
Do you know why most people lose money in this market? They are too smart. Changing seven coins a day, chasing after pumps, always missing the right stop-loss point...
The ones who can really make money are precisely those who operate in a "slow, dumb, steady" way.
Instead of continuing to smartly lose money, it’s better to try this relatively stable approach.

That's right, it's just so simple that it's actually the most profitable.

From the data performance, this approach essentially circumvents the principal-agent problem under information asymmetry. It is worth noting that the effectiveness of trend-following strategies in highly volatile markets has been confirmed by multiple studies, but why do most people still fail? According to behavioral economics, cognitive biases lead to overtrading — which is the same problem that frequently appears with the Token Weighted Voting mechanism in DAO governance.

That's right, you have to be "dumb" to make money.

Can you get 8 times without looking at the K-line? I feel like that's a bit far-fetched...
But on the other hand, I've indeed seen too many people who watch the market every day end up losing big.
Slow is fast, I get this logic.
Really, stopping optimization is the best optimization.
Why does it seem like the simpler it sounds, the more intimidating it is... Let's give it a try.
This is the true nature of crypto, don't bother with those flashy tricks.
Interesting, starting with 3% is indeed stable.
People who try to bottom fish all become trapped, I agree.
