The Harsh Truth About Crypto: Why Do You Learn Many Techniques but Still Can't Make Money?

Doing the right thing consistently – repeating enough times – that’s the fastest way to success. Anyone who has experienced this probably knows it very well: Sitting and drawing charts until 2–3 a.m. MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci by heart. Watching dozens of analysis videos every day. But the account still… goes backward. A brother in the community messaged me: “I studied MACD for a month, waited for the golden cross to enter, but my account still got burned. I don’t understand where I went wrong…” The reality is harsh: Crypto doesn’t lack skilled technicians, but lacks people who make money. The Deadly Trap of Technical Analysis Technical analysis isn’t wrong. The mistake is: it makes you illusion that you can predict the market. When you enter a trade correctly and the price moves, you believe you’re good. When you enter wrong, you think: “Maybe I set the RSI parameters wrong.” “Maybe this timeframe isn’t suitable.” “Maybe I need another indicator.” And so you keep learning more… but your account still decreases. The truth is: The crypto market is an extremely complex game of probabilities. There’s no strategy that wins 100%. There’s no divine indicator. There’s no unbeatable formula. Anyone advertising a “perfect win rate” system is a scam. People Who Really Make Money Are Not the Best Technicians I once tried a very interesting experiment: Give 3 people who have no knowledge of technical analysis each 5,000 USDT in a demo account. No teaching of indicators. No teaching of chart reading. Just give them 3 rules: Hit stop loss and cut immediatelyNever use more than 30% of capitalWhen there’s a signal, act – no arguing After 1 month: All 3 made an average profit of 25–30%While the “technical experts” around me lost more than 20% on average. An elderly person even said: “I don’t understand candlesticks, green or red, I just follow the discipline, and I’m more profitable than many who draw charts all day.” The Truth of Crypto: Discipline > Technique In crypto, the real formula is: Profit = 5% technical + 95% psychology Technical skills can be learned in a few years. But controlling emotions is a lifelong lesson. The market is where greed and fear are killed. When the market crashes hard – do you dare to cut losses?When your account gains 50% – do you dare to take profits?When coins pump strongly – do you FOMO chase? Losers lose because of emotions. Winners win because of discipline. A Simple but Effective Trading Rhythm This is the trading rhythm I’ve used for many years, simple and straightforward: Step 1: Use 30% of capital to do exploratory trades Only choose top coins, high liquidityNo bottom fishingNo guessing topsJust enter lightly to stay in the market Goal: observe and verify the trend. Step 2: Use 40% of capital to add when the price corrects Buy more if the correction follows the planEach 10% dip adds a portionNo all-inNo emotional averaging Step 3: Use 30% of capital to increase when the trend confirms When the structure clearly uptrends: Break resistanceVolume confirmsTrend stabilizes Only take the safest part of the wave. Three Survival Principles in Crypto

1. Accept losses as part of the game Professional traders don’t avoid losses. They control them. Stop loss isn’t the enemy – it’s armor.
2. Always have outside income sources Full-time crypto with small capital is the fastest way to psychological pressure. Having external cash flow: You’re not forced to winYou’re not FOMOingYou don’t hold on desperately
3. Keep it simple – repeat long enough Crypto isn’t a place to show off. It’s a place to make money. A simple strategy used for 1, 2, 3 years will outperform 100 strategies used weekly. Crypto is a survival battle, not a get-rich-quick path. The market isn’t for the impatient. It’s for the patient. The last survivor isn’t the biggest winner, but the one who isn’t eliminated from the game. Don’t ask: “How to get rich fast?” Ask: “How to avoid burning your account?” As long as you have capital, you still have a chance. Conclusion Crypto isn’t a game of predicting the future. It’s a game of probabilities and discipline. You don’t need perfect indicators. You need a good enough system and a cool head. When you stop searching for the “holy grail” and start building discipline, you’ll realize: Making money in crypto isn’t complicated at all. The hard part is whether you have enough patience to do it right. Keep it simple. Repeat long enough. That’s the fastest way. Wishing everyone survives long enough to get rich. 🚀
