At the most desperate moment in my life, I only have 20,000 yuan left.

It was an afternoon when I was 29 years old. Divorce, debts, setbacks at work — everything fell apart like a collapsing domino effect. With no background, no understanding of the industry, and unable to tell Bitcoin from Litecoin, I decided to throw this 20,000 yuan into the crypto world. Perhaps this was my only chance to turn things around.

The crypto world was indeed crazy at that time. Some people became overnight millionaires with mining machines in the deep mountains, while others were forced to deliver takeout due to leverage. As for me? I was just that "newbie" who couldn't even understand the candlestick charts.

How miserable were the first five years? I experienced liquidation, stepped on zero-value coins, and saw exchanges run away. During the darkest times, my account shrank to just 10% of its initial value, and I could only eat by taking on part-time orders. In those days, every time I opened the app, it felt like gambling with my life.

May 1, 2021 changed everything.

Ethereum skyrocketed from $1,500 to $4,380. On that single day, the numbers in my account went from red to green, finally stopping at 4.2 million. At that moment, I realized - the crypto world is not a casino, but a game of hunters and prey. Those who make big money are never the all-in gamblers, but those who understand the "breathing rhythm" of the market.

I have seen traders using quantitative models achieve financial freedom before graduation; I have also seen those who follow the trend and chase prices lose 80 million overnight when the coin price crashes. What is the difference? It's not luck, but whether they truly understand the dialogue between quantity and price.

After years of experience, I have summarized 6 iron rules - they are not flashy techniques, but rather the "dumb" methods. Those who are anxious and troubled by the wild fluctuations every day might want to try this dumb method. Because in the crypto market, the "dumb" methods often last the longest.
