I am 38 years old this year. I started investing in cryptocurrencies at age 30, and it has been exactly 8 years now. During this time, I have experienced the market's crazy surges, seen cliff-like crashes, watched many people get rich overnight, and also seen them exit the stage in disappointment.

Some ask me if I have achieved this scale through talent, while others say I am lucky. Actually, neither is true. Over the years, being able to steadily profit over 60 million in a volatile market relies on a simple, even somewhat "silly," position management system—I call it the "343 Staged Investment Method."

Today, I will take Bitcoin, the market's barometer, as an example, break down the entire logic completely, so everyone can understand and apply it.

**Stage One: 30% Position Start, Small Entry to Control Risk**

Suppose I have 120,000 yuan in idle funds for investment. I never go all-in at once. The first step is to allocate 30%, about 36,000 yuan, as the initial position.

Why do this? Many beginners think it’s too conservative and worry about not making enough money. But in fact, the core purpose of entering with a small position is not to earn less, but to maintain a rational mindset. When you only invest 36,000 yuan, even if the market fluctuates by 10 or 20 points, your account’s profit and loss stay within a manageable range. You won’t panic and make rash decisions due to short-term volatility. This way, the risk remains in your control, your mindset stays stable, and you leave enough room for adjustments in subsequent steps.

**Stage Two: 40% Gradual Additions, Averaging Down in Batches**

Once the initial position is stable, you enter the most critical phase of adding positions. This is where most people tend to make mistakes.

Some see the market rising and chase the high, only to get caught at a high position; others see a decline and add all-in, only to see prices fall further and be forced to cut losses. My approach is this: if the market is rising, I stay put and wait patiently for a pullback to add; if it’s falling, I set a clear pace for adding—every 10% drop, I add 10% of new funds. This way, I gradually complete the 40% middle-position layout.

What are the benefits? Regardless of whether the market ultimately rises or falls, your overall average cost will be in a reasonable range. Because you are entering in batches, a single misjudgment has limited impact on the whole. Many lose money because they make a wrong call once and go all-in, leaving no room for correction.

**Stage Three: Final 30% Supplement, Confirm the Trend Before Adding**

The remaining 30% is the most crucial part of the entire strategy—it determines your final profit potential.

But this 30% should not be added blindly. My principle is to wait until the market trend is thoroughly stable and the direction is confirmed before adding this part. Why? Because once this 30% is in, it’s essentially the decisive moment of your entire investment cycle. If you add heavily before the trend is clear, it’s like betting wildly on a gambler’s instinct—this is not investing, it’s gambling.

Waiting for trend confirmation, even if it means entering a bit later than the bottom, significantly reduces risk and improves win rate. This step ensures the entire investment process is clear and efficient, avoiding missing the main upward wave or getting caught in deep losses from early heavy positions.

**Summary of the Methodology**

This "343" approach may sound ordinary and a bit boring, but its power lies in its strong executability and fault tolerance. The crypto market’s uncertainty is always present, and prices are always unpredictable, but if you strictly follow this rhythm, it’s like a stable-running machine. As long as time passes, it will continuously generate profits.

The key points are two: first, be patient—don’t try to do everything at once; second, be disciplined—know when to add and when to wait. Don’t ruin the plan out of FOMO. Many failures are not due to the method being wrong but because of inconsistent execution—hesitating during pullbacks, chasing at highs, and ultimately ruining a good strategy.

If you are still trading with small capital, trying to steadily accumulate rather than relying on luck, this method is worth trying.
