37 years old, settled in Hangzhou, living freely, three houses, the cryptocurrency market has increased by hundreds of times.

After struggling in the cryptocurrency market for 8 years, I did not rely on "big shots' recommendations" and have never touched any pump-and-dump coins. A simple approach of "not being greedy and not being anxious" has allowed my principal to multiply nearly a hundred times.

Now, I have three houses: one for myself, one for my family, and one for rental. I live a carefree and free life, going wherever I want.

Here are the six survival rules in the cryptocurrency market that I have summarized, which are more practical than technical indicators, helping you take fewer detours and live longer:

Slow rise and small fall ≠ weakness; panic only during rapid rises and falls.

If the price of a coin rises steadily and the pullback does not exceed 10%, it is likely a healthy trend; but if there are wild fluctuations, it is mostly the big players manipulating the market. Stay calm and observe the market, and don't let FOMO emotions take control.

The coins that are hyped up the most should be avoided.

If a coin in the group is constantly shouted as “must go up 10 times” with profit screenshots shared, stay away! Truly valuable coins do not need “brainwashing marketing.” Popularity ≠ value; noise will not help you make money.

Only invest 30% of your principal when entering the market; never go all-in.

If you believe in a coin, invest a maximum of 30% of your principal. The remaining 70% should be reserved for extreme market conditions. Those who go all-in may find themselves out of the game after a significant drop. Surviving is more important than making quick money.

Take out 50% of your profits first for security.

The cryptocurrency market is unpredictable; today’s unrealized gains may turn into losses tomorrow. Withdraw 50% of your profits to cash out, then continue trading. Securing profits is the way to go.

If you don’t understand a coin, avoid it.

With DeFi, NFTs, and AI concepts constantly emerging, it is tempting to follow trends for quick gains. But if you don’t understand the underlying logic, don’t get involved; you might become the last one holding the bag.

Living longer is more important than making quick profits.

Even in a good market, there are losses; even in a bad market, some people can profit. The true winners are those who live the longest. Following the rules is more important than making temporary profits.

These simple rules have helped me survive two market cycles and reach where I am today. If you want to stay in the cryptocurrency market for the long term, you must adhere to the rules and avoid fantasies of overnight wealth.

If you truly want to break through, be tough on yourself, follow my lead, and move forward steadily to earn more reliably and for longer.
