It's pretty ironic, when you think about it. Those so-called "experts" who spend all day studying candlestick patterns and chasing insider tips are still trying to make back their losses. Meanwhile, I, the one everyone thought was "too conservative," managed to turn 20,000 into 1.4 million with a method so simple it's almost laughable. The craziest part? In the past two years, I haven't chased any hype or believed in any so-called "exclusive news"—I've just stuck to my guns.



This method is ridiculously simple—there are only three principles.

**Principle 1: Only play with familiar assets, avoid being fickle.**

There are countless coins in the market, but the ones truly worth holding long-term are the old faces that have survived both bull and bear markets. I only focus on two or three assets I understand, like ETH. Even if other coins skyrocket, at most I'll just watch for fun. I had a friend who switched between eight coins in a single month—ended up with small losses in each, and the total return was worse than just holding one steadily. Makes sense, right? Building friendships takes time to build trust, so shouldn't investing require even more caution?

**Principle 2: Have a set process, and do something else when you feel restless.**

I never make last-minute decisions during volatile market swings. Before every trade, I calculate my entry price, stop-loss, and take-profit points, set my orders, and then close the app. There was one time when the market crashed overnight—a friend called me in a panic to tell me to sell, but I was busy collecting laundry on the balcony. By the time I checked, not only was everything fine, but the price had rebounded the next day just as I predicted. Honestly, most people in crypto lose money not because their analysis is wrong, but because they watch the charts too closely and let their emotions drive bad decisions.

**Principle 3: (Original text not fully provided, so left open-ended here)**

Honestly, there’s no big secret to making money. Just pick a few solid assets, set clear rules, and control yourself—don’t overtrade. The market rewards those who can exercise self-restraint, not necessarily the smartest people.

It's the same old rhetoric—simple and blunt, that's for sure. But I have to question that 1.4 million figure. How true is it, really?

Damn, this guy is ruthless. Turned 20,000 into 1.4 million, I was just stunned. What a strong mentality he must have.

Oh, isn't this exactly what I've been saying? The biggest enemy in the crypto world is your own hands.

To be honest, I believe in this logic, but it's really hard to execute. I've also tried focusing on just a few coins, but I still couldn't resist buying some shitcoins, and then that was the end of it.

It sounds like self-discipline prevailed, but going from 20,000 to 1,400,000 just feels a bit far-fetched when you say it out loud.

Damn, isn't this exactly what I've been saying? People who can't even control their paper hands still want to make money.
