3800 US dollars principal, doubled 20 times and then liquidated: won, but lost confidence. Let me share my story with everyone:
$ZEC When he found me, he had already lost half of his principal, with only less than half of the 3800 US dollars left. The continuous liquidation news made me see his inner urgency: "Sister Wen, please guide me—if I make money, I'll split it with you!" Seeing him so eager to recover his losses, I softened: "I will help you—not to split, but to hope you can maintain discipline."
We reached a consensus: divide the position into eight parts, with each trade's profit and loss not exceeding 12%, profits first locked in a separate account, and stop losses must always be set. In the next 22 days, we made steady progress: pre-market scenario drills, strictly implemented take profits and stop losses, and reviewed each pullback overnight. The account rose from 3800 US dollars to 76000 US dollars, nearly 20 times.
$BEAT But problems began to appear in him—he became more and more restless: "Just one more push, and I can completely turn the tables!" I kept reminding him: "Maintaining profit is harder than doubling it." He agreed, but his actions increasingly deviated from the track. On the 25th day, he invested all the funds into popular altcoins behind my back, even without setting stop losses. By the time I noticed, the account had already shrunk by 51%. I urged him to stop losses immediately, but he stubbornly waited for a rebound.
On the 28th day, the price plummeted, and the account shrank from 76000 US dollars to only 8000 US dollars. He began to blame me: "Why didn't you stop me!" I did not argue, just silently ended the guidance.
From this incident, I deeply realized: in the field of cryptocurrency, the most frightening thing is not the loss, but losing the sense of awe after making a profit. Many people can quickly double a few thousand dollars, but very few can remain humble after making a profit. I once reached out to him out of goodwill, but I also understood: goodwill needs rules, and help ultimately cannot overcome greed.
$PIPPIN The hardest part of cryptocurrency is not making a profit, but how to maintain the original intention after making a profit. The real transformation is not the explosive growth of account numbers, but the ability to still adhere to discipline and self-discipline after making a profit.
