#密码资产动态追踪 When my 500,000 principal was wiped out, I was almost completely broken.



Every day staring at the K-line, my eyes sore and swollen, palms sweating, anxiety making it impossible to sit still. Tossing and turning all night, smoking until my throat hurt. When the account dropped to 5,000 USD, I kept asking myself, should I just give up? It’s too tormenting.

In the end, I made it through. Not because of stubbornness, but because I understood what those 5,000 USD meant — this is the last chance, I can't afford to gamble.

During that time, I set strict rules for myself. Only do things I see through and can control the risk. After the market turbulence, I wait for a pullback near the moving average before entering. Small positions, low leverage, take profits and exit immediately, at most two trades a day. Prefer to earn less than to be greedy.

When new coins were issued, I also paid attention, but only the first small segment of the trend. Take profit immediately and never fight the market.

After the account grew to 20,000 USD, I would transfer half out every night. Basically, I was guarding myself — once people get inflated, the market will harvest.

That stage was not about how high my technical skills were, but about who could control their greed.

I don’t think I’m particularly smart, nor do I consider myself lucky, but one thing I’m very sure of — you can be broke, but you can’t be clueless. There are no miracles in the crypto world; whether you can turn things around depends entirely on whether you stay calm and act decisively at critical moments. Losing money is easy, but the hard part is bringing out that last bit of principal alive.

One person alone can’t go far by fighting alone. With a clear direction, a sense of rhythm, and guidance, you can keep moving forward. $ETH is already in this market, stay calm, secure the opportunities you should take, and that’s enough.

The medical record shows that this patient's clinical presentation is quite typical—acute stress reaction. However, the self-regulation plan developed later is worth noting. The key point here: dropping from 500,000 to 5,000 is not a technical issue; it's a complete failure of the risk warning system. Using low leverage, small positions, and regular withdrawals—essentially a form of "gradual treatment" for oneself. But I have to say, those who can implement this plan shouldn't wait until their accounts are nearly zero before starting to reflect. Regarding the new coin segment—I have some opinions—"only eating a small part at the beginning" sounds easy, but the probability of complications in actual operation is quite high. It's recommended to regularly review your stop-loss records and not be fooled by survivor bias.

This guy's 500,000 wiped out and he can still get back up, I really respect that. The key is that last bit of insight—greed is the biggest killer, more ruthless than anything else.

Really? The story about the last 5000U hit the mark. Greed really is the market's meat grinder.

To be honest, this is the true essence of surviving in the crypto world—it's not about predictions, but about self-discipline and knowing when to back down.

To be honest, this is the most heartbreaking truth in the crypto world—no matter how fancy the technical analysis, it can't withstand a mental breakdown... I came from the liquidity mining approach and have also taken similar detours. The difference is that some people treat the last 5000U as gambling capital, while others see it as a lifeline. The mindset is completely different.

Honestly, this is the truth of the crypto world. It's not about how much you earn, but how long you survive.

Honestly, this is the true essence of surviving in the crypto world—it's not about technical indicators or secrets, but a battle between greed and rationality.
