The Complete System I Used To 20X My Money With Crypto in 16 Months

In this article, you’ll learn The Market Mastery System. It is the system that made 31.5X from January 2020 to October 2024. I personally made 20X in 16 months using this exact system.

This is a long and detailed article. I give you all my secrets and literally tell you exactly what to do to make BIG wins in crypto with little effort.

Exponentially Compound Your Returns

Compounding is what happens when you get returns on your initial investment AND on accumulated returns.

The Market Mastery System is designed with one goal in mind: To exponentially compound returns by accumulating more Bitcoin while Bitcoin is going up in price.

How? By trading altcoin cycles.

Now, before we get to the cycle, here’s a comparison of HODLing and using The Market Mastery System from January 2020 to October 2024 starting with $10,000:

  • HODLing: $10,000 → $70,404
  • Market Mastery System: $10,000 → $315,212

This is not made up. It is a calculation (which you can do yourself) based on what would have happened if you entered crypto in 2020 and followed the system that I’m about to teach you.

And this was with October 2024 numbers, now they’re even wilder. It’s a pain in the ass to do the calculations all over again, but The Market Mastery System has yielded roughly $500K at this point.

It’s All about The Cycles

In crypto, it matters less what you hold and more when you hold it.

Even if you found the “next Solana,” you could lose money if you found it at the wrong time.

For example, the average DePIN coin rallied 700% from October 2023 to March 2024.
The same coins crashed by up to 80% in the following six months.

So, just depending on the date you invested in a DePIN project, you stood to gain hundreds or percent or lose 80%!

The Market Mastery System is not about finding the best coin.

It’s about finding altcoins when they are cheap and selling them for Bitcoin when they are expensive.

So, without further ado, this is how you trade altcoins to exponentially compound your returns.

Step #1: BUILDING THE PERFECT PORTFOLIO

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway

Before telling you how to build the perfect portfolio, let me tell you what “the perfect portfolio” actually is:

A collection of fundamentally strong and technically bullish coins diversified across sectors and market caps according to risk tolerance.

So, you need to find good coins in different sectors of the altcoin market. Here’s a list of the major sectors and a step-by-step way to do it:

Sectors Ranked by Risk Level:

  • Risk level 1: Index (Bitcoin)
  • Risk level 2: L1, Infrastructure
  • Risk level 3: L2, DeFi
  • Risk level 4: DePIN
  • Risk level 5: GameFi, AI
  • Risk level 6: Meme, Metaverse & NFT

Here’s a short description of the sectors of the crypto market:

4 Steps To The Perfect Portfolio:

  1. Find new altcoins
    Make a list of coins in different sectors, aiming for at least three coins per sector.
  2. Fundamentally analyze the coins
    Look at the problem they solve, their technology, and their competitive edge.
  3. Technically analyze the coins
    Evaluate price charts to separate bullish from bearish coins.
  4. Buy the coins
    Allocate funds to fundamentally strong and technically bullish coins.

I’ve written several articles on these topics. Here are a few (opens in a new tab):

  2. How to fundamentally analyze altcoins
  3. How to technically analyze altcoins
  4. How to diversify across sectors of the altcoin market.

Step #2: TRADING ALTCOINS

“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”

Warren Buffet

Now that you’ve built the perfect portfolio, it’s time to learn how to trade altcoins to increase ROI exponentially.

In short, my approach to altcoin trading is that it matters more when you hold altcoins than what altcoins you pick.

Even if you find “the next Solana”, you’ll lose money if you hold it when the altcoin market is declining.

That’s why I care more about timing “The Altcoin Cycle” than finding the next best coin.

The Altcoin Cycle

To increase our returns exponentially, we want to trade the altcoin cycle.

What is an Altcoin Cycle?

Altcoins cyclically outperform and underperform Bitcoin.

In altcoin seasons, altcoins outperform Bitcoin.
In Bitcoin seasons, altcoins underperform Bitcoin.

A single cycle consists of two seasons: one Bitcoin season and one altcoin season.

How to Use Altcoin Cycles to Your Advantage

To benefit from the altcoin cycle, follow these two simple steps:

  1. Buy altcoins with Bitcoin before altcoin season (BTC → Altcoins).
  2. Buy back more Bitcoin with altcoins before Bitcoin season (Altcoins → BTC).

The key here is to use your BTC to buy altcoins, then sell those altcoins back to MORE BTC after the altcoin season.

This way, you get exponentially more Bitcoin over time, while Bitcoin also goes up in price.

Trading altcoin cycles combined with the perfect portfolio helped me achieve 20X in 2021 with minimal risk.

The Rules of Trading Altcoin Cycles

To trade altcoin cycles, you need to know two things and follow two simple rules:

Things to Know

  1. Which season we’re in.
  2. When we’re heading into a new season.

Things to Do

  1. Buy altcoins towards the end of Bitcoin season, by selling Bitcoin.
  2. Buy back more Bitcoin towards the end of altcoin season, by selling altcoins.

How Do You Know Which Season We’re In?

Use indicators to identify the current season and when the transition is happening.

  1. The Altcoin Season Index
    Measures how many altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the past 90 days.
    If many altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin, it’s time to sell altcoins for Bitcoin.

    Find it here:
    Altcoin Season Index
  2. Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D)
    Shows Bitcoin’s market share relative to altcoins.
    If Bitcoin dominance rises, hold Bitcoin. If it falls, hold altcoins.

    Find it here:
    Search for “BTC.D” on TradingView
  3. Others Dominance (OTHERS.D)
    Tracks the market share of small altcoins.
    If it rises, hold small altcoins. If it falls, avoid small altcoins.

    Find it here:
    Search for “OTHERS.D” on TradingView

Step #3: EXIT BEFORE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING

“Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria.”

John Templeton

At this point, you’ve got a strong portfolio and know how to increase returns exponentially by trading altcoins.

This chapter is about cashing out before the next bear market.

Why Cash Out?

During a bear market, your portfolio can lose up to 80% of its value.

If your portfolio drops by 80%, you’d need a 5X gain just to break even.

(If you only have 20% left, you need 5X to get back to 100%)

We obviously want to skip the “lose 80%” part of being a crypto investor. We aim to exit close to the top and buy back in at dramatically lower prices after the crash.

Three Main Approaches to Cash Out

  1. Price Target Strategy
    Gradually cash out as prices approach a predetermined target.
    Problem: Price targets are static and don’t adjust to the dynamic nature of the market.
  2. Technical Analysis
    Use price charts to predict when the market will crash.
  3. Indicator-Based Strategy
    Utilize indicators that historically predict bull market peaks.

How to Create an Exit Strategy

Best Approach: Combine technical analysis with indicators to form a dynamic exit strategy.

Sell gradually as the indicators and/or technical analysis tell you that we’re approaching the top.

Example Exit Plan Using Indicators

  1. Sell 10% of your portfolio when an indicator reaches 70/100.
  2. Sell 25% when it reaches 85/100.
  3. Sell 50% when it reaches 90/100.
  4. Sell everything if the indicator reaches 95/100.

You can also set a stop-loss statement, such as:
“If Bitcoin closes below the 20-week moving average, sell everything.”

Useful Indicators

  1. Pi Cycle Top Indicator (technical indicator)
    Identifies market peaks by analyzing the distance between two moving averages.
  2. Logarithmic Regression Models (statistical indicator)
    Tracks long-term price growth and identifies overbought conditions based on statistical models.
  3. MVRV-Z Score (on-chain indicator)
    Analyzes market value versus realized value to predict tops and bottoms.
  4. Technical Price Patterns
    Use charts to identify when the trend might turn. For example, look at the 20-week moving average and sell if we have a weekly close below it.

I use a model that aggregates data from four other indicators, including “The Pi Cycle Top Indicator”, “MVRV Z-Score”, a logarithmic regression model, and a model called “Bitcoin Cycle Master”.

I’m gradually exiting my positions as this aggregated indicator as it approaches 100/100.

This indicator is not open to the public. Only members of The Market Mastery System have access to it.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Crypto can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

You only need three essential strategies:

  1. Setup: Build a strong, diversified portfolio.
  2. Management: Trade altcoin cycles to accumulate more Bitcoin.
  3. Exit: Use indicators to cash out before bear markets.

Everything else is noise and only distracts you from what actually matters.

System > Prediction

The best investors don’t rely on predicting the future. They rely on a system and stick to it.

That’s what The Market Mastery System gives you:

  • A system that doesn’t require endless hours of analysis.
  • A system that works regardless of your experience.
  • A system proven to exponentially grow your returns.

Follow the system, and you’ll not just survive the crypto market—you’ll master it.
