I am 35 years old this year, and I have been in this market for ten years. From my first contact with Bitcoin at age 25 to now, I have witnessed the entire process of cryptocurrency growing from wild growth to gradual regulation. Someone asked me if I made money, and my answer is very straightforward—between 2020 and 2022, my account surpassed eight figures. Now I can stay in hotels costing 2000 yuan a night wherever I go, enjoying a quality of life much better than many who struggle in traditional industries.

But this is not because I am particularly smart or lucky. What truly makes me stand out among many investors is a simple, somewhat "silly" method—I call it the 343 Stage Investment Method, which has helped me steadily earn over 20 million.

Let's take Bitcoin as an example and break down the logic of this method.

Suppose I have a principal of 1.2 million. I would allocate it as follows: the first step is to take 30% (360,000) for initial position building. At this stage, I maintain a small position mindset, aiming to understand the market rhythm without rushing or being impatient.

The second step is to gradually increase the position to 40% during market fluctuations. If the price rises, I patiently wait for a pullback before entering; if it falls, I add 10% of my investment each time it drops by 10%. Repeating this process naturally lowers the average cost. No matter how the market twists and turns, my cost basis is continuously optimized.

Finally, I use the remaining 30%. Once the trend is basically established, I put this last amount in to complete the overall layout. The advantage of this pace is that the entire building process is clear and transparent, preventing me from being caught off guard by sudden events.

Honestly, this method is a bit "silly," but it is precisely because of this "silliness" that it remains particularly durable in the crypto market. Many people always want to find a way to make a big splash, but the result is often chasing highs and getting trapped, with a single correction wiping out their gains. I have seen this too many times.

The biggest test in the crypto market is not whether you can find a dark horse coin, but whether you can control your greed and fear. These two things can make even the smartest person turn foolish.

My secret to success is restraint, calmness, and respect for time. While others chase gains and sell in panic, I follow my rhythm steadily, ultimately going further and more stably.

This method sounds very ordinary, but in the world of crypto investing, ordinariness is actually the most powerful ATM.

Listen to this, once again the same old "Ordinary is Truth" rhetoric... But I have to admit, spreading out costs is definitely more reliable than my previous approach of chasing gains and selling at losses. --- Hearing an 8-figure number sounds great, but honestly, it’s just good luck that caught the bull market. Try it in the 2025 environment? --- The 343 distribution method is essentially dollar-cost averaging, just with a fancy name. Why not just say it directly? --- The most heartbreaking part is the phrase "Control greed and fear." I just can't control it, so that's why I call it NFT Regret Machine haha. --- 20 million? Why do I feel like this number has more water than BTC’s price increase... --- Restraint, calmness, respect for time—sounds good, but the real big earners are still those monsters who dare to go all-in. --- Wait, 30+40+30=100%? Did the math not add up haha. --- This theory dies the fastest in a bear market, don’t rush to praise it.

Bro, this set of 343 is really awesome. Last year, I didn't stick to this discipline and chased the high, which made me bleed directly. That's right, greed and fear are indeed poisons. I'm now learning to coexist with them. Can this approach also be applied to altcoins? I feel like I still need to have some courage. An 8-digit account sounds far from me, but I'll copy down the methodology and give it a try. Ordinary is the strongest ATM machine. This phrase needs to be tattooed. How can I control myself from chasing the rise? Honestly, I still need to go through the pain of cutting losses a few times, right?

Hmm... The 343 set of things sounds simple, but to be honest, most people simply can't execute it. It really tests one's character. --- I don't boast about having an 8-figure number, but I'm afraid the story sounds too perfect. Everyone wants to hear a flawless recap, right? --- The word "self-control" is well said, but I've seen too many people who say "I also want to control myself" and still end up chasing highs. --- Spending 2000 yuan a night is a bit showy, but it's indeed more convincing than just saying how you didn't get shaken out during the bear market. --- Wait, what is 343... 35%, 40%, 35%? Why doesn't it add up? --- I remember the phrase "Ordinary is ATM," but I don't know how many people can really achieve being ordinary. --- Ten years as a seasoned investor. If this method really worked that well, the market wouldn't have retail investors anymore. --- Spreading out costs is indeed stable, but I'm worried that a decline is a bottomless pit that you simply can't add to. --- A pretty honest person, not someone who immediately sells courses or asks for QR codes. That's okay. --- Honestly, it's about surviving long enough and lucking out without encountering a major crash—that's the biggest methodology.

It sounds good, but the key is whether you can hold on... It took ten years to earn this much money, and many people were wiped out in two years. Stop bragging, this method is just dollar-cost averaging, acting like you’ve discovered a new continent. 343? It feels like just psychological reassurance. When it really matters, who can stick to the discipline? You're bragging a bit, brother. From 2020 to 2022, earning eight figures isn’t just you. Honestly, I can't understand this logic anymore. Why divide it into three steps? What I care about is how to play now; the story from 2020 doesn’t matter much. This method, to put it simply, is bottom-fishing, but how do you determine the bottom? Restraint and calmness sound easy, but try doing it when your account is plunging. Pure survivor bias—those who haven't been wiped out are here sharing their experiences. Every 10% drop, add to your position. How much capital does that require? Small investors simply can't handle it.

Basically, it's dollar-cost averaging + the average cost method. This approach has been around for over ten years; it's just been packaged as "343" to sound more mysterious. Honestly, the 2020-2022 market rally allowed everyone to make money. The key question is, can you still hold on now? Discipline and calmness are indeed worth learning, but a market crash will reveal who truly sticks to their rules. Following the plan is indeed stable, but it lacks the thrill of quick in-and-out trades that lead to a sudden liquidation. Some people just can't be patient. 20 million sounds impressive, but with the current market conditions, the more you hold, the greater the pressure. The worst is when people say, "I've found the secret," which really just means they've lived long enough and experienced enough cycles.
