#比特币与黄金战争 I used to believe that "being diligent can turn things around," and I frequently traded in the crypto market, which taught me many lessons through the fees I paid.



Later, I realized a truth: the market flows like water to the lowest point, and going with the trend is much easier than fighting against it. The ups and downs of these kinds of coins are driven by a game between a large number of retail investors and institutions.

What truly changed my account situation was actually a set of methods that seem "lazy."

When funds enter the market, I first lock in half as a "safety net," and I don't touch it no matter how tempting the other opportunities are. This way, even if a trade fails, my psychological defense won't collapse immediately.

I've learned to control my order placement. I don't chase rising prices or sell on dips, nor do I jump on trends—just wait. Wait until market sentiment reaches two extremes and technical signals are clear, then try with a small position. Set stop-losses in advance, and once losses are clear, there's nothing to hide.

The most important rule: only use profits to amplify gains, and never cross that principal line. After confirming the trend, gradually add positions, and each time, take out a portion of the risk exposure to ensure that a large drawdown won't wipe out your core capital.

This strategy may seem slow, but compound interest is accumulated through this kind of "less fuss." The snowball gets bigger and bigger, sometimes not because you're pushing it hard, but because you occasionally smash it to make it grow.

I set a few strict rules for myself: don't trade when emotions are unstable; stop immediately after a series of losses; withdraw profits once targets are reached; if the rhythm gets chaotic, immediately step back and stay calm outside the market.

This market no longer belongs to those who rely on brute force to endure. Those who survive until the end are often those who break down risks into smaller parts and slow down their trading frequency.

Don't always try to show how ruthless you are. Being a bit "lazy" and more steady here can actually help you go further and more safely.

Really, frequent trading is like working for the exchange. I'm the same now, I'd rather miss out than chase the high; anyway, there are plenty of good opportunities. This is how I live now: set a stop-loss and go to sleep, don't watch the market all day. Well said, most people die from constantly trading. I also use the hold position strategy; it gives me peace of mind and makes it less impulsive. Slow is fast, this is the hardest phrase to accept in the crypto world, but it's the most valuable.

That's so true. I used to watch the market every day and was so impulsive that I kept losing money until I finally understood this principle. Really, self-control is more valuable than any technical indicator. That's how I handle things now. Sometimes I see others chasing the rally, and I have to hold back and not act, or I might go crazy.

Really? I only just now understand this set of logic. I used to watch the market every day, but my account actually got worse and worse. Looks like I need to learn this "lazy man's earning method" now. --- Never cross this line of principal, you're absolutely right. Many people fall here, going all-in and instantly wiping out their account. --- Wait, the phrase "The snowball rolling bigger sometimes isn't because of pushing hard" really struck me. Indeed, my biggest losses were when I was the most "restless." --- This dead rule of not acting when emotions are unstable, I've already saved myself several times this week, haha. --- I need to really digest the concept of risk exposure. I feel this is the true way to survive.

Honestly, after reading this article, I feel some resonance... I used to be the kind of person who made five to ten orders a day, but the result was a significant shrinkage of my account. Now, I actually earn more by being "lazy," quite ironic. However, I have to say, locking in half of the principal can indeed save your life, but the key is whether you can really resist the temptation... most people can't do it. Wait, this set of theories sounds very familiar... did some big V also say this before? This mental adjustment is pretty good, but when it comes to execution... haha, how many can stick to the end? I think the most crucial sentence is right—don't mess around, really. I'm going to follow this method now, although it's slow, but my mindset feels much better. So, is this guy truly enlightened, or is it just a post-hoc summary and feel-good article? Seriously ask. To be honest, it would have been great if I had heard of this method in 2018, I could have avoided losing a lot of money...

To be honest, I used to be that kind of frequent trader who got pretty badly educated by the market. Now, this "lazy method" has truly changed my understanding of trading, and the core is to not fuss around.

Really, I deeply understand the logic that only by slowing down can you make money. To put it simply, don't overdo it. Being able to exit alive already means you've beaten most people.

That's right, that's the point. The old way of frequent trading is outdated. Continuing to chase highs and sell lows is really just throwing money away.

Getting it from the book always feels shallow; this guy is right, really, just less fussing can lead to victory. Basically, once you understand that principle, don't always think about going all-in; protecting the principal is the most important. I've also experienced the torment of frequent trading; now I just wait for the right opportunity to move, which is much better than worrying all day. A lazy approach may sound low, but it is indeed the correct way to survive until the end. Wait, it says here to set stop-losses in advance, but why do I always change them after setting... But I agree with this logic—those who don't treat their principal as gambling capital will ultimately go further.
