Eight years ago, I entered the market with 20,000; now my assets are in the seven figures


Eight years ago, I rushed into the crypto market with 20,000. At my worst, my account only had 5,000 U left. I used to stare at the K-line charts in the middle of the night, afraid to sleep.
Now my assets have grown to the seven figures. Don’t rush to say I got lucky. In these eight or nine years, I’ve seen too many people who are smarter than me and know more about tech—during bull markets, they join the frenzy; during bear markets, they go to zero.
I managed to survive, and I’m doing better than most of the “smart people,” not because I have any insider information, but because I rely on a “stupid method” that countless people have mocked. Today I’ll lay out these hard truths in one go. I can’t promise it’ll make you rich overnight, but it can at least help you avoid a few fatal traps.
First, in bull markets, it’s not like there are coins everywhere for you to pick up.
I’ve seen too many people get greedy and make moves everywhere, only to end up picking up a mess. My approach: focus on only one sector, and only eat the main uptrend. As long as you catch the right one, you can ride the entire market.
Second, buy new coins, not old ones.
Cheap old coins look like opportunities, but most are scrap copper and rotten iron. The market only likes new stories, new expectations, and new hype. Don’t let sentiment drain your wallet.
Third, contracts—be careful, and then be careful again.
I’ve played them. I reached eight-figure gains in my biggest run, but I’ve blown up more times than I can even count. If you truly trade: never go all-in, never open high leverage, and stop-loss should be as natural as breathing.
Fourth, cycles are iron law.
In crypto, it’s a four-year cycle. At the end of the bull market, you must clear out all the shitcoins! If you find that even the delivery guy around you is asking “which coin can 10x,” congratulations—you’ve reached the top. If you can’t bring yourself to run, the bear market will show you what it means to experience a 90% drawdown hell.
I’ve seen too many people who join the bull-market celebration for a year, then in the bear market for three months, it goes to zero. I have no talent, no insider info—just these “idiot truths,” and that’s how I survived, and I’m doing better than most “smart people.”
So stop always asking “which coin can 10x.” First ask yourself this: when your assets crash, can you still hold on—and can you still stay alive?
Crypto will never lack opportunities. What’s missing is people who can survive until the next spring.

That’s exactly right—surviving the bear market matters more than how much you make in the bull market.

These points are definitely true, but I still think there is gold in older coins too—it depends on whether the project is actually implemented.

Bro, how exactly do you choose a sector with a strategy that focuses only on one board/sector? Can you share the worst mistake you’ve made over your eight years that you still remember clearly? I also want to learn how to get through a bear market.
