From 50 Million to 140 Million in 3 Months: A Story That Made Me Clearly Understand the True Money-Making Logic

Between “kind” and “struggling,” sometimes it’s just one correct trading system apart. Last year, my younger cousin decided to quit his 8 million VND/month job, bringing along 50 million VND saved over 5 years to meet me. He said very straightforwardly: “Hey, I don’t want to live like this forever. I want to try my luck in the crypto market.” Honestly, my first instinct was to refuse. 50 million VND in crypto is like a matchstick in a strong wind – it burns out very quickly if not protected. But his determined look softened me. In the end, I decided to teach him the entire trading system that I had to pay a lot and make many mistakes over many years to develop. Three months later, he sent me a red envelope with a single message: “Hey, thank you. I’ll treat you to a beer.” I opened his trading account to check. 50 million VND had grown to 140 million VND. outsiders might say: “Just luck.” But I know very well: this is the victory of process and discipline, not luck. No Hot Wave Chase, Just Wait for Clear Trends What surprised me most was: my younger cousin didn’t chase hot coins. At that time, the market was full of stories like “double, triple overnight,” everyone rushing into coins that were surging. But he didn’t. He only looked for coins with: Clear long-term trendClean price structureLarge timeframe upward He told me something very thought-provoking: “I realize that the talented person isn’t the one who grabs every opportunity, but the one who just waits for their right opportunity.” There was a trade with MATIC, where he patiently waited for the price to correct back to an important moving average, received a confirmation signal, then entered the trade. Result: over 60% profit. Others might say he’s slow. But slow and correct is better than fast and wrong. Cut Losses: Heart Hurts But Hands Don’t Shake Not every trade wins. Once, with OP, the price broke through an important support zone. He hesitated, wanting to “hold a little more and see.” I only said one word: “Cut.” Later, he told me: “When I pressed the cut-loss button, my heart really hurt. But thanks to that, I avoided a further 30% drop afterward.” That was the moment he truly understood what trading discipline is. In crypto, the first lesson isn’t how much you make, but how long you can survive. Cutting losses is like fastening your seatbelt when driving – usually uncomfortable, but in an accident, it saves your life. A “Lazy Trader” Only Looks at the 20-Minute Chart Each Day Now, my younger cousin is much more relaxed than before. Every morning after taking his kid to school, he spends about 20 minutes: Reviewing trendsChecking planned price levelsIf there’s no entry point… turn off the device The rest of the time, he practices handwriting, exercises, and spends time with family. He said: “Before, I thought trading meant constantly entering orders. Now I understand: fewer trades can earn more.” The secret lies in planning ahead: Clearly define entry pointsPre-determine exit pointsIf the price doesn’t reach, do nothing This method almost eliminates emotional trading and frees up a lot of time. The Truth in Crypto: The People Who Are Always Speculating Usually Lose, Only Those With a System Make Money After three months following my cousin, I am more convinced of one thing: the biggest paradox in crypto is that the “hardworking” people tend to lose the most. Those who: Trade all dayChase every waveAlways fear missing opportunities …usually lose to those who: Have a clear systemHave specific entry-exit criteriaPatiently wait for the right moment A proper trading system must be quantifiable. For example: Not “buy when price drops,” but "buy when it drops by a certain amount"Not “sell when it looks bad,” but “cut when losing a certain amount” Only clear rules can lock emotions in a cage. Advice for You: Build Your Own System If you’re trading crypto, try stopping and ask yourself: Are your entry criteria specific?Do you strictly follow stop-loss rules?Does your capital management have clear risk limits?Is your take-profit plan predetermined? My cousin didn’t win by guessing the market correctly. He won because he always knew what to do in every scenario. The market is always changing, but the logic of making money doesn’t: People with a system make money from people without a systemPeople with discipline make money from emotional traders It took me 8 years and most of my capital to realize this. Now, the light has been turned on. Are you ready to build your own system?
