How I Use the "Foolish Method" to Surpass 90% of Crypto Investors

Hey guys, today I want to have a very practical talk. I have been in the crypto market for over 5 years, witnessing all kinds of scenarios: some people get rich in just one cycle, while others wipe out their accounts in just a few days. But there is one truth that I see more clearly the longer I go: those who survive and grow stronger are often not geniuses, but persistent people who use the “slow but sure” approach. I once knew a brother who started with 100,000 and over many years grew his account to tens of millions. He often said a very blunt but honest phrase: “The market is not short of smart people, only short of those who are willing to be stubborn.” 👉 Here are the “silly ways” that have helped me – and many people around me – go further than most short-term traders.

1. Don’t Take Small Profits Just to Keep Larger Gains The most common mistake among newcomers is: Taking 3–5% profit immediately out of fear of losingLosing 10–20% and trying to hold on because they can’t accept it The result is small profits and big losses. I used to cut profits too early and watch the market run dozens of percent without me. After many “pains,” I derived a very simple principle: 👉 Always set clear stop-loss levels, but don’t rush to take profits. My current approach: when the account grows significantly, I withdraw my initial capital and part of the profit. The rest is left to the market to decide. If it drops, I still make a profit. If it continues to rise, that’s “free” profit. It sounds simple, but it helps me avoid the “itchy hands” disease.
2. Only Choose Coins with Real Value, Avoid Trash Coins Many newcomers get caught up in meme coins, trend coins, projects “rumored to be about to skyrocket.” When prices go up, everyone is a genius, but when they crash, no one takes responsibility. My strategy is quite conservative: Prioritize Bitcoin and EthereumInvest only when the market has fallen deep and the overall sentiment is very negative These assets have liquidity, a community, and a history of recovery. Even if your entry isn’t perfect, you still have a chance to correct mistakes. Conversely, with small coins, just one crash can end the dream entirely.
3. Wait for a Clear Trend, Don’t Force Bottoms or Tops Everyone wants to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. But in reality, most people die in the middle because they are too stubborn about “cheap prices.” I no longer try to guess the bottom. Instead, I wait for: Trend confirmationPrice breaking through important resistance volume improving Even if the price is a little higher than the bottom, I enter the trade. Slightly less profit, but in exchange for safety and long-term survival. For me, survival is more important than showing off by catching the bottom.
4. Take Partial Profits to Maintain Mental Stability The biggest enemy in crypto isn’t the market, but emotions. When prices rise, greed appears. When prices fall, fear takes over. My “silly method” is: Take partial profits at each rallyThe profits taken are moved to more stable assets This way, I always feel “I’ve won part of it,” so my mindset remains strong. I once guided a friend from heavy losses back to break-even just by disciplined partial profit-taking. No need for advanced techniques, just doing it right and consistently.
5. Long-Term Thinking: Regular Buying Is the Path of Ordinary People If you don’t have time to monitor the market every day, don’t try to be a trader. Regularly buying major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum with a portion of your monthly income is an extremely effective way to: Avoid emotional buyingAvoid timing pressureAccumulating over time This method is quite boring, with no “big swings,” but it helps you overcome the biggest human weakness: impatience. Conclusion This market has a very clear paradox: The more you want to get rich quickly, the easier you are to be eliminated early. The more patient you are, the greater your chances of going far. When the majority panic, all you need to do is stick to your discipline. When the majority FOMO, stay calm. Opportunities in crypto are never lacking; the rarest thing is the ability to survive long enough to seize them. For me, the “silly method” isn’t about being less smart, but about choosing the least wrong path in a market full of temptations. And sometimes, slow and steady really is the biggest advantage.
