Three years ago, I entered the crypto world with 1200U, like stepping into a storm without an umbrella—here it surges 24 hours a day, some become rich overnight, while more become 'fuel'. Now my account has 50000U, with no insider information, no myths, just relying on three principles mocked as 'foolish' to survive in the 'meat grinder'.
People always ask for the 'secret', and I reply: the harshest thing in crypto is not making quick money, it's surviving.
______
Foolish Rule One: Split funds into three parts, each part is life-saving
Divide the principal into three pieces, each piece a lifeline:
* 40% flexible funds: only do high-probability short trades, strictly following the rules—at most one trade a day, run away after making 5%. Missed the market? It's better than frequently trading and depleting the principal.
* 40% trend funds: only act when the 'monthly line is confirmed'. For example, if BTC has three consecutive weekly green candles + breaks the previous high, then buy in batches. Is the wait agonizing? But waiting for a clear trend is 10 times safer than 'betting on direction'.
* 20% survival funds: locked in an independent account, it’s not just 'emergency money' but also a 'calming pill'—when a crash happens, don’t panic and cut losses, and you won’t go all in and get wiped out completely.
Veterans say: 'I’m not afraid of you being wrong, I’m afraid you disappear after being wrong once.' These three parts have helped me survive three bull and bear markets; my account has never gone to zero.
Two iron rules:
* Only do 'fish body': price must break previous highs with volume + pullback without breaking, then it's considered a trend start. Give up on 'fish head' (hesitation at the start) and 'fish tail' (greed before peak), only eat the fatter part. Losing a little is not regrettable, getting shaken out repeatedly is deadly.
* Layered profit withdrawal: withdraw 1/3 of the principal after making 20%; after making 50%, take half of the profit 'off the table'. Insure your profits, and greed will lose its roots.
Remember: the candy of trends must be taken slowly; the fruit of profits must be slow = fast: the ultimate answer to surviving in crypto.
This 'foolish method' essentially means 'guarding money with discipline, waiting for momentum with patience, and regulating the heart with rules'. The crypto world is not short of rich stories, but those who live long win by 'stability'—survive first to have the right to talk about getting rich; only by being stable can you wait for your own market.
When you no longer chase 'getting rich overnight', you'll find: slow is actually the fastest way.
The brutality of crypto lies in the 'elimination rate', durability is the most ruthless weapon.
