Do you remember? That feeling of your heart nearly shattering your ribs.
In 2018, I did something that made all parents' blood pressure spike instantly: I used the entire down payment I had saved for three years, a total of 120,000 yuan, to buy Bitcoin at a price of 450 dollars each. One voice in my head shouted, 'Opportunity! Seize it!'
The days that followed felt like riding an out-of-control roller coaster. A year later, in a humid guesthouse in Chiang Mai, Thailand, my phone screen lit up: account balance 2,300,000 yuan. I was stunned for a few seconds, then grinned stupidly at the fan, and my mind started playing the trailer for 'Underdog Comeback.'
And then? There is no 'and then'. Or rather, 'and then' is the solid slap in the face that Mr. Market gave me. The crash at the end of 2018 was more ruthless than a tropical storm. That number deflated like a leaking balloon, hissing down from 2.3 million to 220,000. I sat at a small table in a cheap hotel, listening to the rain outside, and for the first time felt that I had to count my fingers to pay next month's rent. Standing on the wind's edge not only makes you fly, it hurts more when you fall.
Over the years, I've been liquidated, been 'fresh chives', and the tuition I've paid could buy a nice car. But now I can still sit here and chat with you, not because of good luck, but because I exchanged real money and countless sleepless nights for four life-saving operational rules. Today, we won't discuss metaphysics or draw grand prospects; we'll talk about practical advice that can help you survive longer in this market.
My worldly clarity: Four hardcore rules that keep you 'alive'
First rule: Stick to your 'circle of competence'; what you don't understand is equivalent to non-existence.
When the early metaverse concept was hot, I heard people say that 'virtual land' could multiply a hundred times, and without even figuring out what that land could actually do, I jumped in. The result? In a week, 220,000 was gone. That was my most painful yet valuable lesson: you can never earn money beyond your understanding; money made from luck will surely be lost back through skill. Now, whenever a project comes before me, I first ask myself: have I fully grasped its core logic? If I can't explain it clearly in ten minutes, I won't touch it no matter how good it seems.
Second rule: Position management is your 'lifeboat' and 'ammunition depot'.
I now divide my funds into three parts, like an old-fashioned commander:
50% core assets: only allocate to mainstream digital assets that I have researched thoroughly and believe in for the long term. They are the ballast, not pursuing explosive hits, but seeking stable growth.
30% strategy funds: used for capturing some low-risk cross-platform price differentials. This is like a craft, earning a little hard money but smoothing out volatility.
20% high liquidity reserve: never touch it unless an excellent opportunity arises. Last year during the deep correction of ETH, this 'rescue money' allowed me to decisively add to my position and catch the subsequent rebound. Having food in hand means not panicking.
Third rule: Leverage? That's a script written for the 'Gambling God', not for you.
The darkest hours of my life were watching my entire contract get wiped out in a shake. The moment my account hit zero, the world was quiet. Since then, I’ve permanently locked all contract functions on every platform. Remember, my friend, leverage has never been a profit magnifier; it is a high-speed shredder of your capital. Want to experience a heartbeat? Go ride a roller coaster, don’t come to the market.
Fourth rule: Detox information, be your own intelligence officer.
Signal groups, big influencers’ insider reports, and extravagant 'wealth codes'... these are all noise, even poison. I only trust two things: real on-chain data and project white papers. Before a giant platform blew up in 2022, I noticed anomalies in its reserve data and moved all my assets a week in advance, avoiding disaster. Your money can only be managed by your brain.
The heartfelt words at the end
Now, I no longer dream of 'getting rich overnight'. My goal is very simple: to pursue a stable annual return of 15-25%. This year the market has been bumpy, but my current strategy has just touched the 18% line. I am very satisfied.
This market is full of myths and ghost stories; what it lacks is sober, living people. Many are not lacking in effort but are trapped in the emotional cage of chasing ups and downs. The market is always there, but you need a trading system that allows you to sleep peacefully.
I am the first sister, a veteran who crawled out of the pit, scarred. I don't have a 'wealth freedom' crash course here, only a hardcore survival guide based on logic, data, and hard-earned lessons.
If you are tired of being repeatedly harvested by the market, if you are willing to calm down and study the rules rather than gamble on luck, if you are someone who can be strict with yourself, then pay attention to me@Square-Creator-33c22d76cfff5 #加密市场反弹 $BTC
