In this market, those who can make money consistently are not the smartest people, but those who can stay calm, wait patiently, and follow the rules.
Don't focus solely on chasing profits; learning to survive through volatility is fundamental.
Liquidation is not scary; what’s scary is falling and not learning from it.
I started with 1200 USD, and I once dreamed of doubling overnight.

I want to share the pitfalls I’ve experienced and the lessons I’ve summarized with friends who are still exploring — this is not to show off, but to help everyone avoid some detours.
Real profit never comes from a single big gain.
I used to think that quick in and out trading would make big money, until I saw my account shrink and realized that maintaining a steady position is much more difficult than making quick profits.
The first change I made was to strictly limit each trade’s stop loss to within 1.5% of the principal. $BTC
