From Rain and Wind to Crypto: The Journey of a Delivery Person's Additional Stability

Crypto in the eyes of many is a gamble, a game of chance, a place only for professionals, technical experts, or those who like to take risks. But in reality, many ordinary people – even manual laborers – are able to survive and earn steadily more than most amateur traders. 👉 This article recounts a very real story, and more importantly: draws a path for ordinary people to make extra income with crypto, without staying up all night, without “all-in,” and without dreaming of getting rich quickly.

1. A Very Real Starting Point A follower messaged me: During the day, delivering goods; at night, driving for ride-hailing services. Income about 4–5 million VND/month. Back pain, tired body, but still afraid to rest because they fear not having enough to live. Last year, they discovered crypto. Staying up late watching prices Listening to “hot tips” groups Entering big trades hoping to change their life Result: money didn’t grow, health declined, mental stress increased. Then, they gave up all the “quick win” tricks and returned to a few very simple principles – some might even call them foolish. After three months, profits from crypto surpassed a year’s income from delivery jobs. It’s not magic. Just a change in approach.
2. Why Are Delivery Workers Suitable for Crypto? It sounds strange, but delivery workers, ride-hailing drivers, freelancers… already have three extremely important qualities for crypto: ✔ Discipline Knowing when to accept an order Knowing when to rest Being penalized for late delivery Crypto is the same. No discipline → account won’t last long. ✔ Ability to Handle Pressure Traffic jams Customer urgency Bad weather Compared to these, price volatility is no longer so scary if you have clear rules. ✔ Knowing How to Accept Small Losses to Avoid Big Losses Taking a detour for a few minutes is better than rushing into a restricted area and getting heavily fined. In crypto, cutting losses early is also a form of “smart detour.”
3. 4 Principles of “Slow but Sure” to Make Long-Term Money These principles won’t make you rich overnight, but they help you avoid being eliminated from the game. ① Trade Less – Filter Like Accepting Orders Maximum 1–2 trades per day No clear signals → stay out Fewer trades = fewer mistakes. Fewer mistakes = account lasts longer. ② Always Set Stop-Loss Before Entering a Trade Predefine the loss level for each trade (for example 3–5%)If hit, exit, no hope Crypto won’t owe you a comeback. Hope is what makes your account evaporate fastest. ③ Only Trade What You Understand Prioritize BTC, ETH, and at most 1–2 other major coins Avoid “hearing about” or “being told it’s about to x10” coins Small coins can increase rapidly, but fall even faster. Newcomers are often the last to hold the bag. ④ Manage Capital Like Maintaining Living Expenses Only use about 10% of total capital per trade Use profits to increase positions when profitable Principal must be preserved The first goal isn’t to make a lot, but to avoid losing.
4. Why Do “Not Very Smart” People Find It Easier to Win? Crypto has a paradox: The more someone thinks they are smart, the more they like complexity, and the easier they lose. Using many indicators Trading constantly Using high leverage Meanwhile, those following simple procedures: Check price → meet conditions → enter trade If not → stay out If profitable or hit stop-loss → exit Crypto for them is no longer a gamble, but like an automatic vending machine: Press the right button → get the item → turn off → go home.
5. 3 Common Traps Newcomers Must Avoid ❌ High leverage, derivatives contracts ❌ Believing “guru” tips, coin pump groups ❌ Using living expenses or borrowed money to invest Crypto is not for hot money. Conclusion: Crypto Doesn’t Make You Rich Quickly, But It Can Make You Wealthy Steadily Crypto doesn’t discriminate against who you are. It doesn’t ask for degrees. It doesn’t require connections. It only tests one thing: 👉 Do you have enough discipline to survive? If you treat crypto with the same seriousness as earning daily wages, the market will reward you – slowly but surely. Stability is more important than speed. Survival is more important than a big win. Learn to survive first, and profits will come naturally later.
