Everywhere in the crypto world, you hear people shouting about getting rich overnight, but my friend Xiao Zhao actually made money by going "slow."
In three months, he rolled 3,000 USDT into 60,000 USDT, without touching futures, using the simplest "buying in batches + cyclic operations." It sounds easy, but the real challenge is to avoid messing around.
**Stage One: First, quit the habit of chasing pumps and panicking on dips**
At the beginning of the year, Xiao Zhao watched the charts like a heart monitor. If XRP went up 3%, he’d rush in; if it dropped 5%, he’d panic and cut his losses. In just two weeks, he lost his 3,000 USDT down to 1,200.
I told him to turn off all those flashy features and keep only the spot trading page, moving just one position at a time. I also made a deal with him: if he went all-in again, he’d have to buy milk tea for everyone—he’s afraid of gaining weight and sugar, so surprisingly, this worked well.
**Stage Two: Crawl like a turtle, slowly**
Split the total funds into 5 parts, add one part every time it drops 10%, sell one part every time it goes up 10%. Don’t try to guess the top or bottom, and don’t stare at the news every day.
On August 6th, $SAPIEN went from 0.18 to 0.2, and he bought the first part at 0.19. When it pulled back to 0.17, he added the second part. When it rebounded to 0.19, he sold the first part, bringing his cost down to 0.165.
He repeated this cycle twice, bringing his average cost down to 0.171. When it hit 0.22, he sold everything, making a net gain of 28%. His account broke 5,000 USDT for the first time. That night, he treated us to barbecue—I still remember he ordered his favorite pork belly.
**Stage Three: Let compound interest ferment slowly**
The market kept sliding through September. Everyone else was stuck, but Xiao Zhao still had three bullets left. He averaged down at 0.15, 0.13, and 0.12, then sold everything when it rebounded to 0.16. After three rounds, his position was up 42%, and by the end of October, his account broke 20,000 USDT.
He withdrew his 3,000 USDT principal and kept rolling with the profits. He said, "I can finally sleep well now."
**How exactly did he do it?**
① Split the total funds into 5 parts, mark colors in Excel for easy tracking ② Each part no more than 20% of the total, add on 10% drops, sell on 10% rises ③ Maximum two trades per day; if exceeded, shut down and rest ④ When profits break 5,000 USDT, withdraw 50% to cold wallet
On December 5th, $SAPIEN pulled back to 0.14, he added two more parts, then sold one at 0.15. Now his account is at 62,000 USDT—20x in three months, and he’s lost 3kg—“No need to stare at the charts all day, and no more staying up late.”
The crypto world never lacks opportunities, but it lacks people with rhythm.
Make “take it slow” a habit: no all-ins, no chasing highs, no wishful thinking. Let compound interest accumulate like a marathon. Slow is fast, and only stability wins.
The ones who survive and profit in the market are always those willing to take the first step. Are you ready?

ngl the whole "discipline beats degeneracy" narrative hits different when the math actually checks out... tho that 10% rebalance grid feels suspiciously close to textbook mean reversion arbitrage, no?

Damn, that's me... That part about checking the ECG every day really hit me.

Damn, Xiao Zhao's method is really solid. The key is you can even lose 3 kilograms—this deal is totally worth it.

Listen, the theory of averaging in sounds nice, but no one has really calculated the risks behind it. Five positions, 10% trigger—what if the market gaps down and directly breaks through the risk control threshold? We've seen consecutive liquidations happen too many times.

The data shows that this method does have logic... but the problem is that most people can't make it to the second month; their mindset collapses.
