Yesterday, PEPE performed quite well, and I bought some following the trend, making a small profit. At the same time, I managed to grasp the timing for BTC's layout quite well. Looking at BTC's trend today, it's indeed very solid, and the bears should be having a hard time.

Speaking of this operation, I actually tend to be quite cautious. With elders above and children below, my risk tolerance is limited. So I set my stop-loss at 20,000 points, preferring to earn less than to suffer heavy losses. This time, my position size isn't large; I just want to steadily earn some extra living expenses to support my family.

Many people ask me why I don't leverage more and why my position is so conservative. To be honest, I've seen too many margin calls and liquidations. I believe that surviving and making money is more important than anything else; stable returns are actually the most reliable. In this market trend, I just consider myself a small retail investor, acting within my means.

Conservative type, how should I put it, only by staying alive can you keep earning. Once you understand this, you've won.

That's right, if you have family, you need to protect your principal. I've seen too many cases of liquidation.

Hi, I agree with this idea. Brothers not using leverage is really the most important thing to make money while alive. --- Stop loss at 20,000 points, stay steady. Much smarter than those who go all-in. --- Family's livelihood is more valuable than anything else, I understand. --- This wave of following PEPE for small profits and steady BTC growth is the real way to survive long-term. --- Many who have seen too many liquidation stories think this way: only by surviving can you continue to play. --- The phrase "know your limits" sounds nice, but not everyone understands this point. --- Being conservative with positions, maintaining stable monthly income—no matter how you count it, it's worthwhile. --- When the bears are uncomfortable, it's the right time to strike. This sense of timing is pretty good. --- With elders above and children below, this is how it should be done. Leverage really isn't meant for family use.

Really, I respect this mindset. Unlike some people who constantly go all-in with leverage, and stubbornly say it's a "game for smart people," only to lose everything with one needle prick. I just want to ask, which is more cost-effective: earning a living or losing tuition fees?
