My initial entry into the crypto world was with a capital of 50 million. Two years later, it slowly rose to 302 million. In the third year, it stabilized at 590 million. In the fourth year, it truly took off—August, the account reached 378 million, and in November, it immediately surpassed 700 million.

At that time, my brain was on fire. I quit my permanent job, even borrowed money and used leverage, feeling that “luck will always support me.” As a result, when the financial crisis came, not only did all profits disappear, but I also ended up in debt. In the end, I had to sell my house to pay off the debt, and my family was almost torn apart. It was only when I hit rock bottom that I realized: everything I’d gained before was all luck, not ability.
After that, for 3 years, I no longer traded carelessly. Day and night, I did reviews and analysis, and finally managed to bounce back with one practical logic. These 6 core points can avoid 80% of traps:
1. Don’t become a “coin collector.” In the past, I held a dozen or so small coins—most of them were zero—until I understood that all you need are 3 core things: BTC for the long term so you won’t fall behind, ETH with moderate fluctuations for swing trading, and choose one leading token in a strong sector ( for example AI, RWA)—far more reliable than just buying randomly.
2. If your emotions start running hot, stop first. Once, when the entire world experienced massive margin calls, I kept going. I lost 20 million in a single day. Now I’ve made a rule: if a lot of people are getting margin called, and there are 3 big bullish candlesticks on trending topics, or laypeople start following and buying—if any one of these signals appears, stop and stay calm for 2 hours. Losses can be minimized.
3. Positions are the line of defense for life. In the past, I traded carelessly, and when the price fell, I didn’t have any funds to add to my position. Now I set fixed positions: 50% USDT for an emergency reserve, 30% high-quality coins as the base for the long term, and 20% for fast trading—so you keep enough capital with a chance to recover your initial investment.
4. Don’t fantasize about take profit and cut loss. In the past, when the price dropped 10%, I even added to my position, and in the end I got trapped and became desperate. Now there are strict rules: when it rises 10%, sell half to lock in profits; when it rises 20%, sell everything to stabilize; when it drops 5%, look at the logic and whether it’s stable; when it drops 10%, immediately close the position and evaluate—don’t hold onto positions.
5. Understand the basic market within 1 week. When I first entered this world, buying carelessly led to huge losses. Then I summarized 3 steps: look at the daily chart + MA10/MA30 to find support and resistance; if volume increases but price doesn’t rise, that’s a fake breakout—don’t buy just by following others at the end of the session. Within one week, you’ll already understand the market patterns.
6. Build positions like fighting—step by step. In the past, I went in with everything with 3 million, and the moment there was a panic correction. Now I start with 900 thousand as the base position. If support is broken, add 900; if resistance breaks through, add 600; and keep 600 in reserve to anticipate the correction—focus on rhythm, not speed.
The crypto world isn’t a gamble of luck—discipline is the key to going far.
