People often ask me, the crypto world is so muddy, no insider info, no time to watch every day, is there really no way out? Let me be honest with everyone — it’s the complete opposite.


I used to be that kind of person, chasing highs and selling lows every day, staying up late watching the charts, but as a result, my account kept shrinking. It was only later that I understood a principle: making big money in crypto isn’t about how smart you are, but about discipline.
The method I’m sharing today may sound incredibly simple, but with this approach, I managed to earn my first million.

**Step 1: Learn to do subtraction, focus tightly on strong coins**
Don’t do that stamp collecting approach, trying to hold a little of every coin. About 80% of the coins on the market are just following the trend, following the trend again, and again. The real money-making opportunities are always in the hands of those resilient, strong coins.
My approach is straightforward and rough: every day, filter through data platforms to find the top 20 coins with the highest recent gains. But here’s the catch — you need to manually remove those "fake strength." What is fake strength? Coins that have fallen for 5 days or more with a series of down days, or those that spike on a single news event and then die out, should be eliminated. Coins with real big funds laying out can be seen in their charts — steady upward movement, holding key levels during pullbacks.
I’ve fallen for this myself before. I liked a hot coin that dropped 50% in a crash, thought I was picking up a bargain, but ended up catching the falling knife. Since then, I’ve believed in one principle: the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker.

**Step 2: The monthly chart is the anchor, don’t go against the big trend**
I know many people think the monthly chart is too slow, and prefer to look at minute charts. But think about it from another angle — the true direction of big funds is plotted on the monthly chart.
I set a strict rule for myself: if a coin’s MACD on the monthly chart doesn’t have a bullish crossover, I don’t move (especially watch if the DIF has crossed above DEA). Why be so strict? Because if the overall trend is downward, any operation on smaller timeframes is like rowing against the current.

It's the same old story. I just want to ask, who set the standard for the MACD golden cross on the monthly chart? Is it really that rigid to make money?

Here comes the hype about the monthly MACD again. I feel like it's the same old story I heard last year... But whatever, just consider it as storing some bits of knowledge.

That's right. I used to watch the charts every day, chasing highs and lows, but as a result, my account kept shrinking. Later, I realized there are only a few strong coins, and if the monthly chart isn't right, just don't move. Being simple and straightforward actually makes money.

That's right, that's how I play. The monthly MACD is really the key. I've seen too many people get self-convinced on the minute chart, only to have the overall trend completely reverse and lose everything. The charts of strong coins are indeed recognizable at a glance, and the feeling of steadily holding key levels is completely different.
