Many people ask, how should one play in the crypto world to survive? Don't listen to those complicated technical indicators; today, I want to share some real-world experience.
Over three years, my account grew from 1,000U to seven figures. No legendary overnight riches, only proven methodologies step by step.
**Phase One: Survival is the Most Important (1000U-10,000U)**
Not everyone starts out aiming to make big money. My initial goal was simple—don't lose money first. I set two strict rules: never lose more than 2% on a single trade, and take profits at 20% by gradually withdrawing some. Sounds conservative? It's this conservatism that protected my principal amid market fluctuations. Opportunities like $NIGHT or other coins—discipline always comes first.
**Phase Two: Find Your Own Rhythm (10,000U-100,000U)**
Start keeping trading notes, writing down the logic behind each move. Once, a coin doubled in three days, and everyone in the group was following. I didn't participate and was mocked as timid. A week later, it fell back, even lower. That taught me a lesson— in the market, not losing money is equivalent to making money. Whether you earn a lot or a little is secondary.
**Phase Three: Mindset Cultivation (100,000U-1,000,000U)**
The more money you have, the easier your mindset can go wrong. I found a reliable trading partner to supervise each other. During a particularly hot market, a simple question from him made me realize and I exited in time, avoiding a 30% drawdown. That moment made me truly understand: stability beats any explosive market.
**A Few Heartfelt Words**
Don’t believe in stories of overnight riches; those are biased narratives from survivors. How much you can earn is never decided by the exchange, but by your own cognition. Your account balance should not become a slave to emotions, nor should it affect your life.
There are no shortcuts in crypto. Strict rules, continuous learning, and understanding yourself—these three are indispensable. May everyone survive the volatility and live even better.
