Sometimes the low-effort plays pay off better than chasing moonshots

I’ve spent enough time in this space to know that most next 100x calls end up as lessons rather than wins. The real surprise? The last thing that padded my bag wasn’t some hyped coin, it was just regular trading.

Over the past few months, I’ve been casually participating in this Trading Club Championship thing on Bitget. Nothing fancy, I wasn’t grinding charts at 3 a.m. or throwing in insane positions. Just my usual spot trades.

When Phase 3 wrapped up, I added up my rewards from Phase 1 and 2 and realised I’d quietly stacked 80 $BGB (~$350). No sleepless nights, no panic selling, no staring at red candles wondering if I should “just hold”.

It made me think: maybe not every play in crypto has to be a hail mary for the moon. Sometimes, the boring, consistent stuff, the low-effort plays, sneak up and give you a decent return without wrecking your nerves.

Sure, it’s not “retire next week” money, but it’s a reminder that this space isn’t only about chasing the wildest rockets. There’s value in letting the slow and steady work in the background while you save your mental energy for the big moves that really matter.

Not saying this is for everyone, and definitely not telling you to ape in. But if you’re already trading, finding ways to make that activity quietly earn on the side can feel a lot better than gambling it all on the next moonshot that might never leave the launch pad.
