In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto unveiled Bitcoin. This decentralized digital asset has a fixed total supply of 21 million coins. It is borderless, bankless, and truly belongs to individuals, representing a scarce value. It also ushered in the era of blockchain technology revolution.

In my early years, I started with a capital of 50,000 and gradually grew it to 302,000 in the first two years, stabilized at 590,000 in the third year, and by the fourth year, I was completely carried away — in August, my account reached 3.78 million, and by November, it exceeded 7 million.
Back then, I was impulsive, quit my stable job, borrowed money to leverage, and thought “luck will always be on my side.” As a result, when the financial crisis hit, I not only lost all my profits but also took on debt. In the end, I had to sell my house to pay off the debt, and my family almost fell apart. It was only at the low point that I woke up: all the money I made before was just luck, not skill.
After that, I didn’t make reckless trades for three years. I reviewed and summarized day and night, finally turning things around with a practical trading logic. These six core principles can avoid 80% of the pitfalls:
1. Don’t be a “coin collector.” I used to hold a dozen niche coins, most of which went to zero. Later, I learned that three core strategies are enough: hold BTC for long-term to avoid missing out, trade ETH on swings with moderate volatility, and pick one strong sector leader (like AI, RWA). It’s much more reliable than random buying.
2. Stop when emotions run high. Once, during a surge of liquidations across the internet, I didn’t stop trading and lost 200,000 in a day. Now I have a strict rule: if there are many liquidations, three consecutive big green candles hit the hot search, or amateurs follow the trend, I stop and cool down for two hours. It saves me a lot of losses.
3. Position size is a life line. In the early days, I went all-in and had no funds left to add during a sharp drop. Now I set fixed positions: 50% USDT for emergencies, 30% quality coins for long-term holdings, and 20% for short-term quick trades. Keeping capital on hand is the only way to turn things around.
4. Take profits and cut losses without illusions. I used to add to positions after a 10% drop, which led to despair. Now I have strict rules: take half profit after a 10% rise, close completely at 20% gain to secure profits, and wait for logical stabilization after a 5% dip before re-entering. If it drops 10%, I close immediately and reflect—no holding through losses.
5. Master the basics within a week. When I first entered the market, I bought blindly and lost badly. Later, I summarized three steps: look at daily candlesticks + MA10/MA30 to find support and resistance; fake breakouts happen when volume increases but price doesn’t rise; don’t chase late-day gains in sectors; understand the market within a week.
6. Build positions like a battle—gradually. I used to go all-in with 3,000 yuan, panicking at the first dip. Now I start with 900 yuan as a base, add 900 on support dips, add 600 on resistance breakthroughs, and keep 600 ready for sudden drops—focus on rhythm, not speed.
Crypto is never about luck; discipline is key to long-term success.
There are many ghosts in the crypto world, but I only help those who are willing to save themselves. $BTC $ETH #以太坊L2叙事再升级 $BTC $ETH
