These three years, my account has increased eightfold, but I hardly ever engaged in high-frequency trading. Instead, I became increasingly "lazy" and earned more and more.
Looking around at many people, they stare at the charts every day, catching every hot topic, researching more and more indicators, yet their accounts remain stagnant. As for me, most of the time I don’t even bother to open the trading software, more like an outsider watching a show.
My approach is actually very simple and straightforward:
Choose only two or three projects that I truly understand, focus on the long-term logic behind them, and avoid following the current hot topics. Place orders at reasonable price levels in advance; if the price hits, I sell; if not, I keep waiting. The rest of the time, I live my normal life, keeping my mindset unaffected by the market fluctuations.
Last year, I had a coin I accumulated at the bottom, and it took eight months of patience before it showed signs of movement. During that time, hardly anyone discussed it. As a result, when the market started to move this year, the price increase within a few weeks matched what others had been struggling with all year. I sold in batches at high levels, while those friends who kept changing positions every day were still confused.
Now I still hold a few assets with limited volatility. They seem very boring, but these projects are continuously progressing, and the cycle isn’t over yet, so I’m willing to hold on. When the market becomes active, these kinds of coins are often the first to attract attention.
If you’re already exhausted from watching the charts all day, why not try a different approach: spend less time on market watching, do more research; find the right positions, and be patient in deploying. In this market full of impatient voices, those who can stay calm will go further.
The so-called "lying flat" is not about randomly buying without care, but about truly understanding and then choosing not to mess around anymore. Sometimes, taking a slow step can actually be a faster step.

The reasoning is correct, but execution is too difficult. I admit I am the kind of person who gets frantic watching the market.
Eight months without any discussion—how painful must that be? I couldn't hold on anymore and bought other things.
It seems that being lazy is actually a skill; it takes a lot of willpower.
I just want to ask how to choose between these two or three projects; that's the real challenge.

This is the true money-making logic. Others are still hyping it up, but I have already won by default.
Exactly right. Those who watch the market every day are all rookies. I think the same way.
Eight months of staying calm and silent—most people really can't learn this patience.
The most profitable targets are the ones that seem boring, right?
I also pick one or two and hold them blindly. Now I actually make more than those who change positions every day.
Staying patient is the real secret weapon. Most people can't do it.
Moving one step slower can actually make you move two steps faster. This saying is spot on.

That's so true. People who watch the market every day can't make money at all; their mentality has long since collapsed.
Wait, no one has discussed this for eight months, and you can still hold on? I need to learn this kind of resolve.
This logic is indeed clear-headed, but very few people can truly do it. I admit I still can't resist checking the market.
Lying flat to make money sounds great, but the problem is how to be sure that you have truly "figured it out."
Honestly, compared to friends who swap coins every day, this approach is indeed more comfortable and makes more money.
It seems I need to quit that market app; I feel like I'm wasting my time every day.
