In the eight-year journey of the crypto market, I gradually discovered a seemingly simple yet effective logic: doing the right things repeatedly beats chasing after trends frequently.



Eight years ago, I had nothing. A divorce with nothing to my name, 600,000 yuan in credit card debt, almost suffocating. But today, I have not only paid off my debts, but also accumulated a seven-figure asset. This transformation wasn't based on any profound theory, but on four simple methods that are almost hard to believe.

**Tip 1: Focus only on mainstream assets, don't be blinded by concepts**

In the early days of entering the market, I also followed the hype—hot DeFi projects, Layer2 stars, rushing in after influencers hyped them. The result was naturally buying high and getting trapped, repeatedly losing money. Later, I realized that what retail investors should do is actually very simple: focus on mainstream assets.

My approach is very simple: only look at the MACD indicator, only take bullish crossovers above the zero line. Pretty straightforward, right? But the logic behind this simplicity is very clear—assets above the zero line are like top athletes in peak condition, while those below are rookies in recovery. The success rate between the two is an order of magnitude apart.

Mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, with high liquidity and market recognition, tend to perform relatively steadily over the long term. Those small coins with wild fluctuations and fuzzy information? They may seem to surge, but most of the time they are traps. Some say I have a narrow vision and missed the opportunity of meme coins, but I know very well what I am betting on.

**Tip 2: Strictly control position size**

It all sounds correct, but in practice, it's always easy to break the pattern, especially when watching others' altcoins multiply tenfold.

That's right, chasing the hot trend is really the deadly poison for retail investors. I fell for this trap early on. I'm still using this logic now. The MACD 0 axis trick may seem old-fashioned, but it's actually very effective, much more reliable than those AI coins or Meme coins. Turning debt into an eight-figure sum over eight years sounds a bit crazy, but I believe in the stability of mainstream assets. BTC and ETH are exactly like that, with liquidity standing there.

That's quite right, but too many people still can't change their habit of chasing hot topics, and only wake up after being cut a couple of times. Chasing the trend is really just a self-cultivation for the leek (retail investors). I now only focus on BTC and ETH, and ignore all other more tempting options. Eight figures, now that's a real exit, unlike some who claim to be cautious every day but actually go all-in on small coins. Position management is especially important; otherwise, even the best coins can be trapped deep inside you.

Sounds good, but you still need to have principal capital.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times, but very few people can truly stick with it.
