Hello everyone! 👋

I’d like to share a story with you. Honestly, it’s not only about charts and candles, but about the long road of “surviving” in this crazy industry. 2.7 years ago, I signed up for Gate, believing I would get rich quickly 😁. Spoiler: I may not have become rich right away, but I gained experience and friends that are priceless.

In crypto, it’s common to be a lone wolf, because there are so many people who might trick you and be dishonest, but we’ll skip that part. My experience convinced me of the opposite. The most precious thing I gained was a small group of people—we met here, on the exchange. At first, we only exchanged signals: sharing experiences, recommending the best tokens to buy, keeping track of free distributions. Then we started discussing our worries, and now they are my family in the crypto world.
Why is it important to maintain this community? Because trends change faster than the wind. When you’re alone, you may miss the start of a move, fall into negativity, and increase your stress. But when people beside you see your panic and say, “Wait—look at the volumes,” or “Don’t worry, it’s just noise,” moments like that are priceless. We share ideas, send each other articles and news, trade the latest trends, highlight “green” entry areas for each other, and sometimes offer kind words that some solutions lack. It’s no longer just an exchange of information—it has now become a spiritual anchor.

And yes, as we all know, luck is now a “capricious queen.” It comes and goes, like the famous currencies and trends in trading metals, oil, and US stocks. In times like these, you need to learn how to adapt quickly and try to take advantage of everything. But I learned a golden rule: once you relax and think you’ve figured everything out, fate gives you a hard kick.

This is a strategy. You build it, test it, make it work… and then the market turns, and the strategy fails.
I think everyone remembers that day well: October 10, 2025. On days like that, the market erases everyone who forgot the rules.

And this is the core survival rule:
Strict capital management + completely stop greed.

Greed is now our main enemy—and the most cunning one. It whispers, “A little bit—add leverage, don’t close the trade, it’ll go higher.” And when you listen to it… you lose everything!
My dear friend, whom I got to know on Gate, told me a line that has stayed in my mind forever: “Greed is poverty.” That’s why it’s important to remember that even with small leverage while trading, you still have a chance to lose everything—so I always recommend trading only with BTC and ETH.

I realized that preserving capital is more important than chasing record numbers. And maintaining relationships is more important than chasing quick profits. If there are at least 2–3 people beside you who tell you the truth to your face and support you when your deposits drop, cherish them. These are your most reliable assets—ones that won’t collapse to zero.

Take care of the community, watch your risks, and never give in to the euphoria of victory. Crypto loves patient people and friends ❤️

I’d like to thank Gate exchange for the friendly atmosphere inside Square, and thank everyone kind and loyal I met along the way—who helped me with their valuable experience, taught me, and stood by my side. Maybe our viewpoints diverged from many people’s, but remember: you’ll always stay in my heart ❤️.
