In 2019, I jumped into the crypto world with only 10,000 yuan. Six years later, my assets finally surpassed eight figures. This is not a fairy tale about pies falling from the sky, but the result of over 1,000 days and nights of professional training and relentless perseverance.



I have tried long-term positioning, short-term trading, and swing trading. If you ask who has the most say in the trading world, I dare to speak frankly. Reviewing my trades for 8 hours every day, anchoring myself in over 200 trading days each year, for a full six years, only then did I barely step into the threshold of stable profitability. And during these six years, you are bound to experience at least one major pit that could bury most people forever.

The first piece of advice is simple: before experiencing two complete bull and bear cycles, never add your principal beyond your psychological tolerance. I have seen too many smart people rush from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions through high-leverage contracts, only to go completely silent after a wave of bear market. In the face of trends, people simply cannot control themselves. You cannot change the market, but you can change yourself — this is true cultivation.

Financial markets never believe in assumptions, only results. If you don’t get results, you must have done something wrong somewhere. Consistently producing results means you are doing something right somewhere. Your way of thinking shapes your daily choices, and your daily choices determine the final outcome.

Losing money is not scary; what’s scary is losing it mindlessly. Find the root cause, then eliminate it as if destroying an enemy. Adults must pay for their choices. Don’t pretend to work hard, because results never act in dramas.

Crypto investing starts with the "Three Abandons":

1. Abandon luck mentality — the market will punish every gambler
2. Abandon the obsession with getting rich quickly — slow is actually fast
3. Abandon trading outside your cognitive range — money you don’t understand shouldn’t be yours

Before placing an order, ask yourself four questions: Do I really understand? What is my basis? What are my strategy and risk control? Can I accept failure calmly? Find the boundary of your ability circle; this is the first lesson for investors.

Well said, but I think this theory needs to be experienced firsthand; just listening to it won't cut it. --- Earning eight figures in six years sounds great, but I'm more curious about how many times it actually exploded in the middle? --- Regarding high-leverage contracts, I have to be honest: making money is super fun, but losing money can really drive you crazy. --- That phrase about psychological endurance hit me hard. I didn't understand this at first and went all in, and the result was pretty bad. --- Eight hours of review every day? I have to ask, is sticking to this practice a form of cultivation or torture? --- As for the market only recognizing results, I wholeheartedly agree—no buts. --- That luck mentality feels like it's talking about me. --- The boundary of one's ability circle is indeed important, but how do you calculate it? Who can precisely define themselves? --- Eight figures isn't a big deal, especially in the crypto world where there are many talented people these past two years. The key is whether you can hold on. --- Don't touch money you don't understand—this advice is spot on. But most people still can't figure out what it means to truly understand.

Good words, but the key is to survive. Only by surviving can there be stories to tell. Sounds like an old veteran who experienced 2017-2018 sharing their experience, which is indeed convincing. From ten thousand to eight figures, how many margin calls did it take to survive until today and say this? That high-leverage contract strategy is really intense, but it’s also so intense that it leads to permanent exit from the market. It would be great if these words could be heard during the 2021 bull peak, but unfortunately, at that time, everyone was talking about 1000x leverage. Being able to stick to an 8-hour review for 6 years shows a resilience that not everyone has. Money you don’t understand shouldn’t be yours. This statement hits the common problem many people face.

Sounds good, but I've been tired of this talk since 2017. So, where are that group of people now?

It sounds good, but how many really survive? I've seen quite a few people turn 10,000 yuan into ten times that, but they all ended up losing everything. Listening to a review for 8 hours a day sounds very professional, but it's like a gym membership—many people sign up, but few actually stick with it. But on the other hand, the phrase "money you can't understand shouldn't be yours" really hits the mark. Many people lost everything because they followed the trend of AltSeason and rushed in. Turning 10,000 yuan into eight figures in six years—how much of that is luck and how much is skill? Be honest. I feel this set of theories isn't very helpful for newcomers because they simply can't withstand the blow of their first big pit.

10k to 8 figures? Buddy, I've heard this story too many times, but looking at your review frequency... you actually seem to have something You're absolutely right about that, all those guys around me who tried to flip the script with leverage have gone silent now That part about ditching luck really hit home - I'm the one who got buried The concept of your circle of competence actually saved me several times. Now I only trade what I understand 8 hours every day? Brother, you're really grinding, unlike some people who talk big but do nothing One bear market puts people into permanent silence. I feel this too deeply... Results are king, that one's spot on - it's written clear as day in the account book The psychology and emotional tolerance part is most critical - how many people have stumbled right there I dodged that futures trap once, never touching high leverage again, for real Money you don't understand shouldn't be yours - wish I heard this earlier, wouldn't have lost so much

It sounds reasonable, but I still want to ask—how many of these eight digits are stepped out from the pile of dead bodies after liquidation?

Really, listening to this set of arguments is a bit overwhelming. Six years and eight figures, said so casually, but how many people can truly sit back and make money? Starting to feel that the phrase "abandon luck" hits close to home, because I am that gambler. Money that I don't understand really shouldn't be touched, but I can't understand 90% of things in the crypto world, haha. Contracts are just a fast-forward version of Monopoly—quick wealth, quick bankruptcy, no middle ground. 8-hour review, over 200 trading days, sounds like wasting time to gain experience, but honestly, luck also plays a big role. I heard this theory from a big influencer before, and now hearing it again feels like I’m relying on old gains.

That's right, but it is indeed a bit intense to only become consistently profitable after 6 years. I just want to ask, was that big crash in 2021 or 2022?

It takes six years to earn eight figures, which sounds quite inspiring, but the problem is that most people can't stick with it for six years. This "psychological endurance" is really true; I've seen too many people go all-in and end up losing everything. I've already given up on the dream of getting rich quickly with high-leverage contracts. Now I just want to live steadily. I won't touch any coins I don't understand; I stand by this rule. Saying you can review for 8 hours a day sounds easy, but how many people can really stick to it? It seems that the key is to experience at least one major loss to truly grow. Result-oriented thinking is everything; without results, everything is just talk. Turning ten thousand dollars into eight figures requires incredible execution power—I feel inferior. Abandoning luck is the hardest part; human nature is greed. The saying "slow is fast" is truly a truth in the crypto world.
