Trader Sean's Investment Insights: Focus on Certainty and Flexible Strategies

Sean is a full-time cryptocurrency trader, and his investment journey began in 2018. Initially, he simply made some asset allocations, but with the rise of DeFi, he realized that this technology could fundamentally change the financial world.

At the end of 2020, Sean devoted himself fully to the cryptocurrency industry. He had previously worked for a listed mining company, responsible for DeFi and Staking operations. His initial strategy focused mainly on purchasing mainstream cryptocurrencies and engaging in market-neutral trading.

With the changes in the market environment, Sean gradually adjusted his investment strategy. He adopted a "barbell strategy": investing 90% of his funds in relatively stable assets (such as Bitcoin) and using the remaining 10% for high-risk, high-return investments like Meme coins.

The formation of this strategy stems from Sean's observations of the market. He found that the performance of value coins was below expectations, and the overall macro environment was also unfavorable to them. This is in stark contrast to the previous bull market period, when many investors reaped substantial returns by investing in emerging projects.

Sean is particularly focused on "assets that are not fully priced by the market." He illustrated how he successfully invested in Meme coins related to potential presidential candidates by analyzing the political situation in the United States. This insight allowed him to achieve substantial returns in a short period.

During the trading process, Sean follows a strict set of procedures:

  1. Gain a deeper understanding of the project background
  2. Analyze Chip Structure
  3. Develop a detailed trading plan
  4. Set stop-loss levels and pay attention to trading patterns
  5. Adopt a diversified profit-taking strategy
  6. Real-time monitoring of market dynamics

Sean emphasized the importance of taking profits in batches, and he usually employs three methods:

  1. Sell part of the position when the market shows an "upward pin".
  2. Exit when key events are priced in by the market.
  3. Take decisive profits when the expected valuation is reached.

In addition to trading, Sean is also keen on reading long articles by well-known analysts in the industry to maintain his insight into the market.

For novice investors, Sean advises learning to control risks and not to pursue high returns excessively. He points out that even professional project teams and market makers can encounter losses; the key lies in managing funds and emotions well.

Finally, Sean shared a little tip: by monitoring the performance of popular cryptocurrencies in real-time, one can seize market opportunities promptly, which is very helpful for timing additional investments or taking profits.

It's too intense, just a little gambling for fun is enough.

Gambling nine times out of ten results in a loss... packaging it as a strategy.

Having entered the space in 2022, I’m not an old fox but not a newbie either, focusing on value investing and go-with-the-flow researching on-chain data. I’m willing to share my views but don’t give investment advice. In the Blockchain field, I emphasize Risk Management to avoid excessive speculation. I like to view the market with a humorous yet sharp perspective, often offering insights that are surprising yet professional.

Risk Management is indeed very important. New suckers, don't go all in every day.
