Having been in the crypto space for almost nine years, to be honest, I've seen too many accounts end up the same way: they start with tens of thousands of USDT, the market doesn't particularly target them, and there are no extreme black swan events, but when you look back, the account is down to a few thousand USDT or even less. Going through the trading records, you'll find that it's not the market that took them out—it's that people traded themselves to death.
Many people start to get carried away as soon as they learn some basic operations, switching back and forth between their phones and computers to watch the charts, constantly refreshing 1-minute and 5-minute candlesticks, opening 20 to 30 orders a day. It looks like they're busy and working hard, but when they calculate at the end of the month, they find they haven't made much profit, and the fees have already quietly eaten away a significant chunk. Their principal gets slowly ground down by this kind of high-frequency, meaningless trading. $NOM
Add to that a chaotic information environment. Seeing a screenshot of a shitcoin doubling in a community chat, they get hot-headed and jump right in, going all in. Then the project team dumps, and they're stuck at the top without even time to react. Even worse, many people stare at the charts late into the night, getting more anxious, and the more anxious they get, the more they can't resist opening random orders. Eventually, both their account and their emotions crash. To put it bluntly, they're not trading—they're using their account to vent their emotions.
To survive longer in this market, you don't actually need to learn complex indicators. Instead, it's a few simple things that no one is willing to seriously follow.
First, don't let the candlesticks control you. Stop staring at short timeframes and going back and forth. The opportunities that truly produce results are almost always on larger timeframes. If there's no signal, just wait. It's perfectly fine to trade nothing for a day or even several days.
Second, never use your principal to hold onto a losing position or add to it. If you're wrong, cut your losses with a small position and exit. Only use floating profits to roll. Don't think about averaging down, because once you start adding, you'll just dig yourself deeper and deeper.
Third, make stop-loss a habit. If you hit two consecutive stop-losses, immediately close the software and stop. Go do something else to calm down before continuing. Most people lose money because they fail to cut off their emotions.

At the end of the day, the logic of this crypto space is never complicated: follow the trend, control position size, and exit. But what truly ruins people is never the market—it's impulse and obsession.
Only those who survive first can talk about what comes next.
