Making money in the crypto world has never been about gambling.
Most people dream of getting rich overnight, but reality is often cruel. In fact, those who can truly double their assets steadily face greater challenges — this requires stronger discipline and more scientific methods.
I’ve interacted with many successful friends. One started with 1,800 USDT and, in three months, his account grew to 29,000 USDT. Another more cautious player started with 5,000 USDT and, in the same three months, reached 130,000 USDT.
These achievements sound exaggerated, but behind them there’s no secret trick — just two words: persistence. Specifically, "focus plus compound interest."
In the early days, this friend was no different from most — he followed the trend that was profitable, got restless with slight market movements, and frequently traded, ending up losing everything. He later realized — truly successful traders never let the market’s ups and downs control them. They know exactly when to enter and exit, without relying on guesses.
Today, I want to share a very practical method: the position-scaling cycle method.
Suppose you have 100,000 USDT. Instead of investing it all at once, divide it into five or six parts, and only use one part for spot trading each time. The core rhythm is this — don’t chase highs, don’t fully commit. When the market drops 10%, add small amounts to lower the average price; when it rises 10%, sell some to lock in profits. Follow this daily routine — avoid reckless trading, and don’t gamble on the market.
This method may sound less aggressive, but precisely because of its stability, wealth can gradually accumulate, and the power of compound interest becomes more and more evident.
Many people think this way of making money is too slow. But on the flip side, starting with 1,000 USDT and growing it to 13,000 USDT in three months shows the power of compound interest. It may seem slow on the surface, but in reality, the more stable, the faster the growth.
The key difference lies in mindset. When others are trapped by market volatility or even face liquidation, you can stay clear-headed with a reasonable position-scaling strategy and continue enjoying the acceleration of wealth growth.
The market never lacks opportunities. What’s missing is the ability to stick to your rhythm. Find your own pace, keep moving forward steadily, and success will be guaranteed.

To be honest, this set of position-splitting cycle methods may sound simple and unpretentious, but upon closer reflection, it's the difference between a gambler and a professional player.
Going all-in at once versus gradually building positions can lead to vastly different outcomes. I know some stubborn people who insist on going all-in in one shot and end up getting completely trapped.
However, sticking to it for three months is really not easy; just resisting the urge to tinker alone can eliminate most people.

Well said. I've been using this position-splitting logic for a long time, and it's indeed much more reliable than chasing highs and bottom-fishing every day.
Stories of getting rich quickly are just for listening; a steady compound interest approach is more realistic.
The idea of cycle-based position splitting sounds slow, but after three months of persistence, the returns are indeed good.
Mindset is really the key. Many people lose because of frequent trading.
10% add position, 10% reduce position—sounds simple, but it takes discipline to execute.

It all sounds right, but to be honest, I just can't stick with it. Every time I start with proper position sizing, a rebound happens, and I can't resist going all-in with full positions.
The theory of the position sizing cycle method is indeed flawless, but the problem is that I am a rookie at execution. Seeing others consistently doubling their investments month after month, and then looking at my own record of margin calls, I feel a bit hopeless.
The concept of compound interest sounds great, but the premise is that you have to survive until the day compound interest takes effect, right?

That's right, mindset determines everything. I've seen too many people ruin themselves by frequently trading.
The position-splitting method is indeed reliable, but the key is whether you can really stick to it. Most people fail at this point.
I agree with this logic, but in reality, not many people can actually do it. I haven't seen many.
It sounds good, but what if the market drops another 30%? Can you still stay so calm?
Compound interest may look slow, but over time it’s truly powerful. My friend turned his situation around just by relying on this.
Understanding is one thing, but you have to follow the rules. Don’t be led by the market. It’s easy to say, but really hard to do.

nah the dca/grid trap is just textbook behavioral anchoring tbh... what they're calling "discipline" is literally just fighting fomo with predetermined rules. nothing mystical about it honestly
