Don't remind me again today

Are you still maintaining your composure in this market?



The day before yesterday, someone DM'd me saying they only had 800U left and asked if there was still a chance.

That made me think of when I first entered the crypto space. How much capital you have isn't the key point. Whether you can turn things around in the crypto market depends never on your account balance, but on your ability to control the rhythm.

I know a few friends who started with small funds. When a big BTC rally came that year, we all used a stacking approach, riding it all the way to over 100,000U. Was it luck? No. It was strictly following a strategy—knowing when to act and when to hold back.

I remember once seeing BTC approaching a critical resistance level, so I pre-positioned with a small amount. The next day, the price surged, and profits shot up. That wasn’t some miracle move; it was knowing when to take action and when to observe. Randomly opening trades during choppy markets? That’s basically giving money to the market.

Most people get stuck on adding to their positions—they keep buying more when they’re losing, and rush to sell when they’re winning.

My approach is the opposite: start with a small position to test the waters, then gradually add more once I confirm the trend is correct. Only when floating profits exceed 50% do I consider adding a second layer. That’s the core of stacking: not rushing for quick gains, but aiming for stability.

Profit-taking also requires strategy. I usually do it like this:
- Take some profits early to secure a sense of security;
- Move the stop-loss close to the cost basis so I don’t panic regardless of fluctuations;
- Keep a small portion of the position to let profits run.

That way, wherever the market goes, my funds follow.

Don’t think stacking is some myth. It does carry risks—like dancing on the edge of a blade. But as long as you get the rhythm right, even with only 500U, you can carve out your own space.

All of this isn’t theory; it’s practical experience I’ve accumulated over three years of fighting in the trenches.

In this kind of market, it’s actually the best opportunity to practice. If you truly want to master position management, you first need to develop a sense of rhythm.

The main focus is on stability, seeing through the worldly matters.

It's obviously a scam to fleece investors.
