From $3,000 to hundreds of thousands, I didn’t use any advanced strategies.
Just one simple method: cash out after earning 5%, and always cut losses when needed.
Sounds dumb? But this “dumb persistence” has saved me countless times.
At first, I was the type who chased pumps and panicked on dumps, jumping in when the candles were green and freaking out when they turned red. In a month, I could churn my principal three times, and end up with almost nothing left in my account.
Eventually, I woke up—the crypto world is a place where surviving longer is more important than running faster.
I started forcing myself to follow strict rules: only use 20% of my funds for each position, sell immediately when up 5%, and cut instantly when hitting my stop-loss. No matter how tempting the news, no matter how hyped the chat groups got, I never broke my position discipline.
Grinding it out trade by trade, my principal slowly grew.
I’ve caught coins that went up several times, but not by predicting them—by scaling in slowly: only adding a bit each time, adding more if it kept rising, and stopping if it fell.
A lot of people ask if I have inside information.
Honestly, if I did, I’d already be financially free and wouldn’t be glued to the charts every day.
What really kept me alive was realizing one thing: the market will always have opportunities, but you only have one pile of principal.
I’ve heard stories of people getting rich overnight, but there are even more stories of people getting liquidated.
Crypto doesn’t lack opportunities; it lacks people who can stick to the rules. If you can get the timing right, control your position sizes, and resist temptation, your wave will come.
Don’t rush—slow is fast.

This "take profit at 5%" strategy... it's easier said than done. Can you really resist the temptation from all those signals in the group?

What you said is absolutely right, but too few people can stick to this principle—most give up after just a month.

Sounds nice, but how many actually follow through? I've seen plenty of people talk about clearing at 5%, but their fingers are still glued to the buy button.
