Low-key earning, high-profile thinking

Having been in the crypto world for nearly ten years, I have seen too many fierce contract liquidations and heard countless stories of "local dog coins." But what left the deepest impression on me was actually the experience of a northeastern lady.

At 37 years old, she turned 100,000 yuan into 38 million over nine years. She never used leverage, never bought those absurdly named small coins, and rarely engaged in aggressive trading. Instead, she steadily held five properties—living in one herself, renting out another to her parents, and leasing the remaining three, generating a steady stream of rental income. In a place full of anxiety and frenzy, she was like an anomaly.

Her approach, to put it simply, is quite "simple":

**First: After a rapid rise, if it starts to slowly decline, it might not be a sell-off but a accumulation phase**

The coin price suddenly surges, then gradually pulls back, with trading volume shrinking accordingly. Most people react by chasing the high or rushing to sell. She, on the other hand—during rapid increases, she stays put; during slow declines, she gradually adds to her position. When SOL shot from $100 straight to $150, she didn’t chase. Later, when it dropped to around $130, she started building her position gradually. Eventually, she waited for it to reach $220.

**Second: After a sharp decline, if the rebound is weak, it’s time to exit quickly**

A drop of over 15% in a day, with a rebound that only recovers less than a third of the decline, and trading volume significantly shrinks. This indicates capital is fleeing; continuing to hold is just picking up the bag. Many people have fallen into this trap. She learned her lesson—at such times, "a green mountain remains, so there's no need to worry about firewood."
