In three years, I turned 200,000 into 1,200,000. My method might seem boring to many people—because it’s just so slow.



But it’s this slowness that lets me live like a normal person in the crypto world. No staring at charts, no sleepless nights, no liquidations. I eat and sleep as usual.

Here’s how I did it.

**Iron Rule #1: Only touch what stands the test of time**

When I entered in 2020, I focused on the old faces: BTC, ETH, and XRP. I ended up putting half my funds heavily into XRP—for a simple reason: the price was around $0.20, large circulation so it’s hard to manipulate, and a clear compliance path.

Those new projects that skyrocket overnight? I didn’t even look at them. I don’t want to be someone else’s liquidity.

**Rule #2: Mechanical operation, mindless DCA**

I bought every Thursday, rain or shine. If it dropped hard, I bought an extra share. If it soared, I skipped that week.

From 2020 to 2024, I bought a total of 160 times. The lowest price was $0.18, the highest was $0.75, with an average cost of $0.48. The $200,000 I invested felt like dropping coins in a piggy bank—I didn’t even look at the charts.

What’s the benefit? Emotions are removed entirely. Market ups and downs have nothing to do with me; I just stick to the plan.

**Rule #3: Set exit points in advance, sell when they hit**

Before the bull run, I set three price targets for myself: $0.80, $1.20, $1.80. Sell 30% at each level, and uninstall the app once done.

In December 2024, XRP shot up to $1.90, triggering all three targets. I kept a 30% base position and sold the rest. When the market crashed 40% the next January, I was eating seafood in Hainan, never even checked my phone.

Final stats: sold about $1,200,000, net profit $1,000,000. The maximum drawdown was just 18%, while BTC’s drawdown was over 50% in the same period. Out of 160 DCA buys, 117 were made during dips, keeping my cost anchored at $0.48.

I have a friend who went all-in on GameFi last year, doubled in three days, then lost it all. Meanwhile, I was still earning steady interest on my $0.48 position.

**What’s the core of this method?**

Simply put: stretch out the time, average your cost, eliminate emotions. Don’t fight the market—let time and probability work in your favor.

Those who survive and profit in a bull market are always the ones who understand the importance of “stability.” Chasing pumps, panic selling, going all-in on leverage—these look exciting, but you’re just gambling with your life.

Next bull run, write your sell orders in advance, pull out when the targets hit, then uninstall the app and live your life. Crypto isn’t your whole life—don’t get stuck in it.

Are you ready?
BTC-2.57%
ETH-3.4%
XRP-3.22%
