Staying in the crypto圈 for these years, I’ve seen too many people rush into the market with full confidence, only to be sent back to square one again and again through repeated liquidations, chasing pumps, and panic buying the tops.


Yesterday, a fan asked me, “Brother Kai, I’ve been trading for three years—why can’t I still make money?”
I only replied him with one sentence:
It’s not that you can’t make money, it’s that you can’t hold on to the profits you’ve made.
In real trading, the hard part is never generating profits—it’s keeping those profits in your own hands.
Many people make money a few times and think they’ve figured it out. But then one drawdown wave wipes out everything they previously earned, and they even end up losing their principal.
Remember, if your account drops 50%, to get back to even you need a 100% return. This isn’t just the market being cruel—it’s the basic law of money management.
So, people who achieve stable profitability first learn not how to make more, but how to lose less and avoid drawdowns. $SOL
Many people blame losses on the market conditions. But the real problem is in themselves.
When the market is choppy, they chase; when prices surge, they’re afraid of missing out; when there’s a pullback, they can’t bring themselves to cut losses. It looks like trading, but in fact they’re always being driven by emotions.
Over the years, I’ve guided many people, and I’ve found that trading mindset roughly goes through three stages:
The first stage: only thinking about catching 100x coins and making quick money—the more urgent you are, the easier it is to lose.
The second stage: start building your own trading rules and stop blindly chasing pumps and selling into dumps.
The third stage: no longer obsess over profit or loss on a single trade, but focus on whether the whole account can keep growing. $A47
True experts don’t look at just one K-line—they look at long-term returns.
I’ve always stuck to a principle:
Don’t guess tops, don’t probe bottoms; follow once the trend is confirmed, and exit when the trend weakens.
There are always opportunities in the market, but your principal only comes once.
Before you open a position, think first about how much loss you can accept, then think about how much profit you can make. If there’s a signal, execute; if there isn’t, wait patiently.
Remember this one line:
Trading isn’t about who makes money the fastest—it’s about who can stay alive the longest.
Only those who can control risk have the right to face the next opportunity; only those who can hold on to profits can truly walk the path to long-term profitability. $EVAA
