From 30,000 to a Million: How I Won in the Crypto World with the 'Turtle Strategy', Stop Being a Diligent Participant!
Every day I open social media, and it's all about the myths of 'crypto freedom' and 'doubling accounts'. Looking down at my digital asset account, I see just a little over 30,000 in principal. Doesn't that make you feel like your dreams have shattered into a QR code? Don't rush to feel down; today I want to share how I started with this 30,000 principal and slowly rolled it into seven figures using a 'not-so-diligent' 'turtle strategy'. After all, in this market, there are always more clueless participants than those making money. As an analyst who has been immersed in the industry for many years, I've seen too many 'top performers' who stare at the charts every day and trade frequently, only to either get drained by transaction fees or fail due to high-risk operations. In contrast, those who seem to be 'lying flat' can quietly reap the rewards. This isn't luck; it's supported by underlying logic. The crypto market never rewards the 'itchy hands', but prefers those who can remain patient like 'ninja turtles'.
1200 to 50,000! With 3 pieces of 'anti-human nature principles', I helped my fans avoid losses for 90 days.
Stop asking 'how not to lose in the crypto market'! Last week, I was kicked out the door by an old fan late at night, and his face was darker than the K-line that crashed in the early morning. Clutching the remaining 1200U, he said to me: 'Bro, if I fall again, I’ll have to go count stars under the bridge.' I've seen too many retail investors crash and burn from FOMO chasing highs and going all-in. I'm too lazy to talk about the cliché saying 'respect the market,' so I'll just throw him 3 pieces of 'anti-human nature principles' that I've summarized from 6 years of struggle. After all, in this attention economy-driven market, surviving is a thousand times more important than making quick money.
Don't turn full position into 'total loss'! Jiangxi buddy's 10,000 assets went to zero in 3 seconds, and that's why I dare to share my 'cautious full position method.'
Woken up at three in the morning by a fan's voice message, and after listening, my heart stopped. A buddy from Jiangxi held 10,000 units of digital assets and went all in with 10x leverage. As a result, mainstream digital assets retraced by only 3%, and his account was instantly 'incinerated,' going to zero faster than instant noodles cook! What really makes me slap my thigh is that this guy stuffed 9,500 units as margin. Forget about the stop-loss line; he probably didn't even take the word 'risk' to heart. After 8 years in the industry, I've seen too many tragedies where 'full position' turns into 'total loss.' Today, I want to share with you: real full position trading is never about desperation, but about buying a 'life insurance' for mistakes.
Stop believing in 'all-in to get rich'! Starting with 1500, I made 46000 using the 'turtle strategy' in a volatile market.
After 8 years in the industry, I've seen too many retail investors rush into the market with the fantasy of 'all-in to change their fate,' resulting in losing their principal at best or owing money to the platform at worst. However, a private message from a fan I received last week reminded me of my early trading experiences. Starting with 1500 digital asset units, without relying on the myth of leverage, I used a 'turtle strategy' to roll it up to 46000, pressing those 'position control monsters' who chase highs and lows down to the ground. First, let me explain the background. I am not an elite from the financial sector. In my early years, I worked in delivery in Shenzhen. An accident during a lunch peak not only wiped out all my savings but also left me with a debt of 3000 yuan. Looking back, those days I had to count every noodle to eat. Fortunately, my childhood friend was loyal enough to give me 1500 digital asset units, simply saying, 'Don't mess around; once you've lost it all, just find a stable job.'
Stop chasing rising and falling prices! The 'Turtle Trading Method' of a delivery guy from 1500U to 5万U, I've analyzed it thoroughly
Yesterday, the backend crashed, and there were numerous comments asking, 'How to avoid extreme fluctuations and liquidation?' Coincidentally, last week I just had a barbecue with a delivery guy. This guy was complaining about being poor last winter with only 1500U, and now his account balance has skyrocketed to 5万U, and the key point is, he has zero liquidation records. As an analyst who has been in the crypto market for ten years, I have seen too many myths of 'getting rich overnight' and even more tragedies of 'going to zero overnight.' I've seen many old investors who lost their wedding house down payment after seven liquidations in eight years, and some fans even told me that after losing everything, their wives chased them with slippers for three blocks, and in the end, they had to squat in the hallway until dawn. Honestly, it's not that the market is too cruel; it's that too many of us play trading like 'gambling on size.'
Post-00s enter with 1200 yuan, making a crazy 48,000 in 5 months! The iron law of survival in the crypto circle: stability earns more than aggression.
Don't blindly believe in 'all in for a decisive win' anymore! Last week, my post-00s apprentice cried at the barbecue stall, saying, 'Master, I just wanted to earn enough for a phone, but now I've managed to gather the down payment!' No one dared to believe it; he initially entered with only 1200 yuan, which he saved by being frugal. As someone who has been in the crypto industry for 8 years and has only a bit of hair left, I want to shout: those who can survive and still make money in this market are not the ones who dare to gamble the most, but those who understand to 'slow down'. Let me introduce myself, born in 1986, with 8 years of experience in the crypto industry. I have seen market charts at 3 AM and have tasted the bitterness of going from a profit of 2.8 million to being 800,000 in debt. Back then, I spent lavishly to pay for all the internet café memberships, only to be brought down by greed and lack of risk control, getting rubbed into the ground by the market, and eventually being chased out by my mother with a broom. During that time, I didn't even dare to add sausage to my instant noodles. It is precisely because I have fallen so hard that I now adhere to one strict principle when training my students: no matter how small the principal, the rules are paramount.
After getting liquidated shorting ZEC, I chewed my keyboard into the flavor of instant noodles!
As an experienced crypto veteran who has been in the game for eight years, I have seen market trends at 3 AM and endured the impact of black swan events. I thought I had become a trading machine with a 'mind like still water' until I got caught by ZEC last November, shorting with 10x leverage, losing half a month's profit in one day, leaving me with just enough money to buy a bottle of mineral water. I almost chewed my keyboard into the flavor of instant noodles on the spot! I estimate that many friends still remember the scene at that time: a certain popular asset doubled and doubled again within three days, and the community was full of screenshots showcasing profits, dazzlingly red. I stared at the steep slope of the market trend, my professional instincts kicked in, and I couldn't help but show off: 'A typical upper shadow line that induces buying; this wave must correct!'
Turning it around with $3400 after losing the down payment: The core of surviving in the crypto world is just two words
Who hasn't stumbled in the crypto world? The fall I took last year directly wiped out my down payment for the house I was planning to buy. Following the trend at the tail end of the bull market, I was just thinking about switching to a house with a balcony one day, and the next day I opened the trading software, and the numbers on the screen went straight to zero, not even giving me a chance to buffer. I still remember the silence of that moment, my heart felt like it was tightly gripped and then suddenly released, even my breathing came with pain. I casually threw my phone away, almost hitting the cat squatting at the corner of the table. The little guy was so startled that it ran away with its fur standing on end, looking at me like I was a madman. Looking back now, it wasn't me who was crazy at that time, but the frenzy of the entire market and my own ignorance.
My capital multiplied by 30 times in three days! I used this trick to reap profits in the crypto market, my mouse is almost worn out from clicking.
Don't scroll away! Today we won't talk about vague indicators, but instead review my real operations from last week where I almost made my mouse smoke. With less than 10,000 in initial funds, I rolled it to 290,000 in three days, not due to luck, but because I hit on the crypto market's most easily overlooked "bull-bear switching password"! As a seasoned player with five years of experience, casually slacking off on Friday is a regular thing. Seeing my idle cash itching a bit, I casually used half a month's salary (around 9700 in funds) to place a low order on a potential new coin, entering at a price around 0.305. To be honest, my mindset at that time was "if I lose, it's just tuition for the market, and at worst, I can work a couple of extra days"—I had no fantasies of getting rich.
Stunned by the Bitcoin plunge at dawn? Stop staring at the candlestick charts! These two invisible siphons are the real culprits.
Woken up by my phone vibrating at three in the morning, I opened the market app and was instantly stunned; my Bitcoin plummeted, and the numbers in my account were glaring red, with the group chat full of cries of 'What happened?' and 'There was no warning!' Honestly, seeing this scene didn't surprise me at all; instead, I found it amusing: 90% of retail investors always make the same mistake, just focusing on the ups and downs of the candlestick charts while completely ignoring the underlying logic that truly determines the market direction. Today, let's get straight to the point and break down the truth behind this crash in plain language, once you understand it, you'll never be repeatedly harvested by the market again! Let me throw out my core point: this crash has nothing to do with technical breakdowns or market manipulation, the root cause is simply two words: lack of money! Moreover, it has been drained dry by two major 'invisible siphons', which are the fundamental rules of the cryptocurrency market.
Black Monday Nightmare! The chips you cut are being frantically picked up by institutions in bulk
Woken up at three in the morning by the account's red figures, raise your hand! BTC plunged below the 85,000 mark, ETH directly broke through the 3,000 USD defense line, and in that moment of the screen turning green, did your hands tremble a bit to sell? Hold on! As an old hand in the circle for eight years, I dare to say: this wave of crash is not a bear market warning at all, but a 'panic washout' tailored for retail investors by institutions. Every chip you painfully cut off is being laughed at and bagged by Wall Street giants! First, let me report some fresh and hot market data, don't be scared by the surface drop: BTC is currently quoted at 86,117 USD, down more than 4% in 10 hours. It seems scary that the 85k defense line has been breached, but those in the know understand that this is a false breakdown caused by short-term liquidity exhaustion; ETH is even worse, falling to 2,945 USD with a drop of 4.56%. The RSI indicator has directly plunged into the oversold zone, which instead indicates that rebound momentum is quietly accumulating; and let's not forget the B-series mainstream coins, which have symbolically dropped a bit along with the market, but the big tricks hidden behind them are enough to overturn market perceptions.
FIL computing power falls below 20EiB! If FF does not reform, Filecoin may struggle to recover?
Does anyone understand? Once hailed as the 'top player' in decentralized storage, Filecoin has now become a 'tragic character' in the crypto circle. On December 12th, the total network computing power dramatically fell below the 20EiB mark, stopping at a historical low of 19.999EiB, just 0.001EiB away from completely breaking the psychological barrier. This move has truly tightened the hearts of ecosystem participants! Let’s be straightforward. As an analyst who has immersed in the industry for many years, I have never seen a star project play a good hand so poorly. Behind all this, the 'mysterious actions' of the Filecoin Foundation (FF) are undoubtedly to blame. Today, we won't play around; let's talk with data and explore how Filecoin's 'life and death dilemma' came to be.
A high-risk signal from a giant whale appears on the eve of Non-Farm Night! After ETH's plummet, should we lie flat tonight or make a layout?
This morning, to the brothers who opened the K-line chart, raise your hand and let me see who is like me, gasping in shock and almost spitting out breakfast? Last night, ETH directly broke through a key level, dropping to a low of 2890. Doesn't this perfectly match what I said in the community yesterday, that the rebound during the day was purely 'paper prosperity'? The US market will definitely have to give back its gains! Friends holding related positions must be feeling their hearts racing more violently than the K-line fluctuations at this moment, but don't panic yet. Today, we won't sell anxiety, only talk about the real goods, and clarify tonight's market drama. Let's talk about something practical. The market is never without its winds and waves. This time, ETH's decline appears to be an emotional release, but in reality, it hides a 'time bomb' of giant whale positions. According to on-chain data tracking (we only look at publicly available information, not some so-called insider info), a senior player holding a large amount of mainstream assets is currently facing an unrealized loss of 50 million dollars. The key point is that his core position size is close to 700 million, while the current funds available to maintain the position are only 48 million, on the edge of a potential passive adjustment at any moment.
Last night, the crypto circle collectively adjusted, but ZEC soared against the trend? Don't be fooled by the whales' 'capital protection play'!
Family, who understands this! Last night, the crypto market collectively staged a 'free fall,' with most mainstream varieties dropping significantly, and many friends' positions were directly pressed to the ground. But there happened to be a 'dark horse' ZEC that rose against the trend throughout, showing a market behavior independent of the overall market, and this operation directly left the market in silence! To be honest, my first reaction when I saw this trend was: isn't this just a blatant display of capital protection? I opened Nansen and took a glance at the on-chain data, and sure enough, there were big moves. Several whale addresses tagged as 'smart money' have recently been quietly increasing their holdings, and even more astonishingly, they have been simultaneously releasing bullish signals on social channels. After this wave of operations, many ordinary investors followed suit, directly pushing the long-short game to a climax.
The giant whale suddenly 'cashes out'! This signal for ETH, retail investors shouldn't rush blindly.
Who understands, family! I stumbled upon Abraxas Capital's operational news in the early morning, and I slammed the table: this is the ultimate play of the old foxes in the crypto circle, a textbook level of 'after eating the meat, still licking the plate'! Compared to those FOMO groups who chase highs and cut lows, their strategy from May until now is simply welding 'patience is a virtue' on their forehead. First, let me highlight for the new brothers: this person has been positioning for ETH short since May, enduring a massive pressure of 267 million USD in short positions for over half a year. Now, suddenly, they have closed out 240 million, leaving with a full basket of profits and leaving gracefully. What's even more incredible is that they didn't deposit the money in the bank to earn interest, but instead turned around and increased their HYPE spot position. In my view, this operation is not a panic exit at all, but rather the script of 'tactical repositioning' for short positions has played out, and they are switching ecosystems to continue earning.
Institutions cry from buying the dip, retail investors laugh at the top? The script for the crypto circle 5 years later is already set.
Family, who understands! This week’s crypto market is simply a large 'slap in the face' scene: on one side, institutional big shots are crazily 'shopping' with their checkbooks, while on the other side, retail investors and veterans are busy 'cashing out at high positions'. In the short term, retail investors are winning big, while institutions are being rubbed into the ground; but if we extend the timeline to 5 years, I dare bet you will be slapping your thighs shouting: MicroStrategy's guys are really bold! Let me fill in the new friend's knowledge: In the past 7 days, the 'shopping maniac' in the crypto circle has not been absent. Bitmine directly scooped up 100,000 ETH, pushing its holdings over 4 million; on the other side, MicroStrategy was even bolder, investing 1 billion dollars to increase its BTC holdings, with total holdings soaring to 670,000, averaging a cost close to 75,000 dollars.
Death cross calls for shorting at 74,000, but below 85,000 hides whale buy orders: Is it a crash or a trap for shorts?
Are your hands trembling as you scroll through the market page? The moment that glaring death cross appears, the entire internet erupts, with a group of 'prophets' collectively shouting that it will drop below 74,000, scaring many weak-handed brothers into wanting to liquidate their positions overnight. But don't rush to be a scapegoat! The situation I've monitored is completely different from the market's panic sentiment; below 85,000, the whales are quietly stacking up an invisible wall of buy orders. Today, I'm not going to beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the hard facts and analyze the true nature of this market trend with data. First, we need to clarify a key point: the death cross is really not some 'apocalyptic signal.' A glance at historical data shows that during the past few occurrences of similar signals, there were two instances that directly initiated a rebound bull market. The other three instances, although they experienced pullbacks later, had already seen significant declines before the signals appeared. In simple terms, it's a 'lagging indicator' rather than a 'predictive tool.' Now, the market is treating the death cross as a basis for a market crash, which is purely an overinterpretation fueled by emotions.
SOL staged 'free fall' last night, and the rebound is actually a 'trap for the greedy'? The non-farm payroll tonight will determine life and death!
Family! Wasn't last night's operation on SOL shocking? One second it was hovering around 135, and the next second it directly entered 'free-fall mode', plummeting to 123 before barely stopping. Although it's now struggling around 126, those in the know understand that this rebound is no different from being 'paper thin', it will break with just a poke! As someone who has been in the crypto circle for eight years, I dare to say: this drop is by no means accidental; big funds have long 'revealed their cards' in advance! The movements of big funds have been clearly signaled, and the short signal can no longer be hidden. Just mined some heavy material on-chain, a top holding address (0x35d) directly placed a heavy bet, laying a short position with 20x leverage. So far, the floating profit from this operation has approached 16 million dollars! This is not a small play by retail investors, but rather big funds voting with real money, clearly not optimistic about the short-term trend of SOL.
ASTER whale loses nearly 10 million and offloads! This signal is more chilling than winter; retail investors, beware of the pitfalls.
The frying pan has exploded! ASTER was pushed to the hot search today with a major piece of news. I spent all night digging into the data, and the more I look, the more I feel a chill down my back. I've seen people cut losses, but I've never seen anything this 'ruthless.' A giant whale lost nearly 10 million RMB and still wants to clear their holdings. What exactly is hidden behind this operation? First, let me give a refresher to friends who haven't had a taste of the news yet. This incident is definitely one of the most explosive 'scenes' on the chain recently. Just 9 hours ago, a mysterious whale holding 12,430,000 ASTER suddenly transferred all of their holdings to a major mainstream exchange in one go. Based on the current price of $0.806, this batch is worth up to 11.67 million dollars, which is no small amount; a simple finger movement represents a transaction in the tens of millions.
