If you want to flip your portfolio in crypto, the first step is not learning techniques—it's accepting the reality that you must be prepared to lose everything.



In 2018, I went through a market cycle in my rented apartment. $BTC went from $18,000 to nearly $19,000, and my initial capital of 180k RMB once floated to nearly 5 million RMB.

Those days, I was completely carried away, thinking my life had changed.

$ETH But the market quickly reversed. Three days later, prices crashed, all profits were wiped out, and I even got liquidated, ending up with less than 710k RMB.

Only then did I realize that what really makes people lose money is not the market, but the侥幸 (wishful thinking) of "I'll wait a bit longer to break even."

In the years since, I've summed up three points.

First: Leverage is not a tool; it's a risk amplifier.

High leverage can make you money quickly, but it also magnifies drawdowns.

Now I only trade with low leverage and small positions, making sure I survive first.

Second: Don't bet your fate on a single asset.

I've also experienced going all in on altcoins, from hundreds of thousands in floating profits to nearly zero.

My current position structure is simple: mainstream coins as the core, small positions for opportunities, never betting on a single direction.

Third: Stop-loss is not a choice; it's a rule.

Every trade has a hard stop-loss; execute it when triggered without hesitation.

Many times, a stop-loss is not a loss but a way to avoid greater chaos.

The biggest lesson from these years is that crypto never lacks opportunities—what it lacks are those who can survive until the next opportunity.

If you're still struggling with whether to hold or add to a position, ask yourself this: If it goes to zero tomorrow, can you still live a normal life?

If you can accept that, then talk about returns;

If not, learn to control risk first.
