I'm 36 years old, and I've been in the crypto market for 8 years. The question that I always get asked, which is never about Technical Analysis, is that blunt one: have you made any money or not?

No beating around the bush—during that bull market from 2021 to 2023, my account really surged to eight figures. Now, on business trips, booking a 2000 a night room feels quite easy compared to my peers who run factories and do e-commerce.

There are always people chasing after secrets. To be honest, it has nothing to do with talent or luck. What matters is a "stupidly simple" method called the "253 batch building method."

With this lousy method, I made over 20 million in profit. If beginners follow it honestly, they can save at least three years of tuition.

Take BTC as an example. Suppose you have a principal of 100,000, and you can execute it in three steps.

**First Move "20% Trial"**: First take out 20,000 to test the waters with a light position. With a light position, you won't panic when the market fluctuates back and forth, and the risk is completely under control.

I have seen too many reckless newcomers entering the market with full positions, adding to their holdings after a two-point rise, and immediately cutting losses and fleeing after a three-point drop. This step is to help you quit the "all-in syndrome".

**Second strategy "5 Component Incremental Buying"**: Don't rush with the remaining 50,000, you need to stay calm and buy in batches. If the market rises, wait for a pullback to take action; if it drops, gradually increase your position at the pace of "buy 10% for every 8% drop."

In this way, regardless of how the market fluctuates, the holding cost can always be averaged out, and one will never be stuck at the peak because of a one-off trade.

**Third Move "3% Finish"**: Wait for the trend to stabilize completely — for example, after BTC breaks through a key resistance level and holds without falling back, then add the last 30,000. The entire building pace is neither rushed nor anxious, which is much steadier than those who impulsively enter the market.

Recently, the market has been fluctuating wildly, and my social media feed is filled with the cries of newcomers chasing after spikes and suffering from liquidations. In fact, the true moat of the crypto market has never been precise predictions, but rather **restraint**: restraint from the greed of being fully invested, and also restraint from the panic of falling prices.

I can live freely, not by relying on luck, but by this "stupid method" helping me avoid traps time and again.

Newbies shouldn't mind it being slow. What can be implemented and doesn't crash is the real way to make money. Most people are stuck in a dead loop, not because they lack effort, but because they lack a guiding light. The market is often present, but opportunities don't wait for anyone.
