To be honest, after spending a long time in the crypto space, you’ll realize that too many people treat trading like gambling. When the price surges, they can’t wait to go all in; when it drops, they panic and sell at a loss, getting schooled by the market over and over, with their capital shrinking each time.
In my ten years of trading, I grew my capital from 700,000 to 58 million. There’s no secret—just one iron rule I stick to: always use only 50% of my capital in trades. Think that sounds conservative? Wrong. This is exactly the key to surviving in the market and letting your profits grow steadily.
Even a few of my apprentices who followed this method doubled their assets in three months doing short-term swing trades. Today, I’m sharing this top strategy—this is practical, hands-on experience you can use right away. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned player who’s suffered several rounds of losses, read this carefully and follow it—you’ll easily outperform those blindly chasing the hype.
# Why stick to the 50% position rule?
The most fatal mistakes in crypto are two extremes: going all-in and betting everything on one trade, or staying on the sidelines and watching the market take off. On the surface, it sounds like being flexible, but in reality, it’s just lack of discipline and reckless behavior.
My stability over the past ten years comes down to this 50% position rule. What about the other 50%? I use 30% for long-term holdings—like regularly buying BTC or BNB every month and holding them to profit from market cycles. The remaining 20% is reserved as emergency funds, so if the market suddenly reverses, I still have ammo to average down or cut losses.
Why set it up this way? Let me give you a real-life example: in the 2022 bear market, BTC crashed from $40,000 all the way down to just over $10,000...

As I listened, it started to sound familiar—yet another one of those "I made tens of millions" stories 🤔

5-layer position sounds like another form of self-consolation. To put it bluntly, it's still gambling, just at a slower pace.

nah this "5 layer silo" thing sounds like every other survival guide that gets packaged and sold... tbh the real validators who've lasted know it's less about rigid systems and more about recognizing when the network's actually under stress. just saying.

Turning 700,000 into 58 million? This story sounds pretty familiar. I've heard this kind of pitch in the crypto world more than a hundred times.

5-layer position? Simply put, it means not putting all your eggs in one basket. This principle is well understood, but the key is how many people can actually stick to it.
