#数字资产行情上升 The days I lost 500,000 yuan, honestly, my mental state collapsed to the extreme.
Every day, I stared at the chart, my eyes hurt so much I couldn't open them, my fingers trembled uncontrollably, I felt anxious and restless, tossing and turning at night and unable to sleep, smoking until my throat was on fire. When the account dropped to only 5,000 U, I thought about giving up more than once. This kind of torment was really draining.
Later, the reason I didn't give up was because I knew very well—this 5,000 U was the last chance to turn things around, and I couldn't waste it.
Since then, I set some ironclad rules for myself: only trade in markets I understand and can control the risk.
After the market experienced sharp rises and falls and then retraced near the moving average, I would enter with a small position and low leverage, take profits quickly, and exit. I would operate at most twice a day, preferring to miss opportunities rather than be greedy. When new coins appeared, I would pay attention, but only ride the first wave after the opening, then exit—never be greedy or force trades.
After my account grew to 20,000 U, I developed a habit—withdraw half of the profits every night, basically to guard against myself; once a person starts to get complacent, the market will give you the harshest punishment.
At that stage, it wasn't really about trading skills but about self-discipline—who can control themselves, who will live longer.
I've never thought of myself as particularly clever, nor have I been especially lucky, but I understand one thing very clearly—lack of money is not scary; not understanding anything is the real danger.
The market trends of $ETH and other coins, at the end of the day, there are no shortcuts. Whether you can turn the situation around depends on whether your mind stays clear and your decisions are decisive during intense market fluctuations.
Fund losses are actually very simple; the hard part is how to keep that last bullet alive and make it last longer.
Working hard alone won't get you very far; you need direction, a sense of rhythm, and someone to remind you. Only then can you steadily move forward on this path.

ngl the discipline part hits different — like yeah everyone talks about the trade setup but nobody wants to admit they're just fighting their own brain 24/7

Honestly, the mental state during the drop from 500,000 to 5,000 is the biggest hurdle, more difficult than any technical analysis... Self-discipline can truly save lives.

Losing 500,000 and still being able to stand up is not something just anyone can do. Truly, these are the people who have survived the longest in the crypto world.
---
That feeling when you have only $5,000 left... I understand, no need to say more.
---
Discipline is easy to talk about, but actually doing it—only operating twice a day, taking profits and running—requires incredible willpower.
---
Taking out half to protect yourself—this move is brilliant. Most people only think about withdrawing when they hit $100,000, but by then it's too late.
---
Not having money is not scary; not understanding is deadly. This statement hits the mark.
---
The key is whether your mind is clear or not. During market crashes, most people are already sleepwalking.
---
Living long is much harder than making quick money, and that's the truth.

One person truly can't go far alone, but there are also quite a few bad influences in the circle.

To be honest, this is the real trading course, worth much more than any signal provider.
I just want to ask, have you truly persisted, or have you started chasing gains and selling off again?
Discipline is easy to talk about, but when the market heats up, everyone wants to go all in—that's human nature.
Withdrawing half every day is a brilliant move, equivalent to insuring yourself.
The key point is still that the market will harshly teach anyone who gets carried away.

Damn, I can understand losing 500,000 down to 5,000... my mindset really shattered.
Yes, this is the battle between self-discipline and greed. The market's harshest aspect isn't the decline, but when you get carried away.
I've also learned the trick of taking half profits every night; it really can save your ass.

Honestly, I’ve also fallen into the 500,000 trap before, and that feeling of "better off dead" is real.
Lack of self-discipline is like cutting your own flesh—this really hit home.

Basically, it's about self-discipline. My biggest lessons over the past two years boil down to these two words.
Self-discipline is not innate; it's a lesson learned after being manipulated by the market a few times.

Really, that 500,000 wave totally confused me. Now looking at the pullback, I feel nervous.
Bro, your self-discipline is incredible. I'm still greedy... I need to learn slowly.
The key is the mindset of that 5000U, it truly can change a person.
Raising half every night, I need to secretly learn this trick to prevent myself from being the hardest.
