Never bring those around you to trade cryptocurrencies

I once had a fan who distressed me the most. He entered with 1400U and eventually rolled his account to 54,000U, but was blacklisted by me for violating discipline.

When I first met him, his account had only 1400U left, and his previous liquidation made him extremely anxious. "Brother, if I lose again, I'll completely quit the circle." I could truly hear the helplessness in his voice—wanting to make quick money in the crypto world, but lacking the patience to wait for trends, and fearing to miss every wave of the market. This is a typical 'retail investor' mindset.

I told him to build his position with 10% of his capital. He hesitated: "With this little position, when can I turn it around?" I looked into his eyes: "What you want is a steady turnaround; you can't rush it." After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and followed my advice.

Three days later, his account was up 36%, and he excitedly reported the good news. I instructed him to withdraw the profits and continue operating with only the principal. "The key to rolling over is to use profits to generate more profits; the principal must remain secure." After that, we stayed up late together analyzing the market, earning only the agreed interest without touching the principal; when mistakes occurred, he reviewed until dawn, documenting each issue.

The account's funds grew like a snowball, from 1400U to 1900U, then to 5200U, 8700U… On the 28th day, he asked me: "Brother, with my current level, can I take others along?" I didn't respond, feeling uneasy—he was starting to get carried away.

Sure enough, on the 34th day, he secretly heavily invested in altcoins, losing 43%. I asked him why he didn't discuss it with me, and he stubbornly replied: "I wanted to test my own logic." In that moment, I knew he had returned to the gambler's mindset, forgetting the discipline I had repeatedly emphasized.

On the 36th day, I blocked him. Not because he incurred losses, but because he had forgotten the most critical lesson: In the crypto world, turning around is not about relying on a single windfall, but about the repeated execution of a disciplined system that makes every profit a 'safety cushion' for the next time.

The crypto world has always been like this; those who survive are not those eager for quick riches, but those who can control themselves and maintain discipline.

Turning 1400U into 54,000U is not difficult; the hard part is to stay true to your original intention and not be dragged back to the gambler's old path by greed.
