Is there a safe approach to investing or trading crypto?

For a lot of us that are big fans of crypto, or at least engaging with it, the promise of digital assets is both very appealing and a bit challenging.

What I mean is that, while I understand it's potential for very high returns, I've quickly learnt about what happens in real time, issues with volatility, complex platforms, and even crazy transaction fees sometimes.

Away from that, a pressing issue for me is the difficulty in maintaining a disciplined investment strategy, I usually catch myself making emotionally driven decisions, which I regret almost every time.

Although, recent innovations in automated investment tools are offering a more structured way to engage with the market, won't that make us lazier?

This is why I'd like to know if there's some sort of hack, template or system that ensures that you're doing the right thing majority of the time rather than depend on AI.

How do you decide the best time to trade, what to trade, where to trade and how much to invest, I'd appreciate it if I got answers from people with experience in the industry not one of those generic answers popular on the internet.
