Survival Notes in the Crypto World: The Lessons I Learned with Real Money Over the Years
In these years of struggling in the crypto world, I have witnessed the most inspiring comebacks and have also seen the most tragic collapses. Some turned the principal of an electric vehicle into a down payment in just three months, while others lost three years' worth of dowry money overnight.
These stories all tell the same truth:
The market never kills; it is always our own restless hearts that do.
I used to be like a gambler blinded by losses—
When the K-line fell, my adrenaline surged, and I crazily increased my position.
When the K-line rose, I was anxious to cash out, fearing loss.
I always believed in "wealth through hard work," but what was the result?
My account shrank as fast as Bitcoin's crash.
The trading fees accumulated enough to buy the latest iPhone.
This is not trading; it is giving warmth to the big players.
Until I met a few true big shots
Did I discover that the secret to making money is—
To be calm like a retired official,
Sow seeds in advance and wait patiently for them to bloom.
When a bull market comes, harvest calmly.
When a bear market arrives, close the app and go fishing.
This kind of "Jiang Taigong fishing" approach
Instead, earns a bountiful return.
Why can't we ever learn?
Because what is most scarce in the crypto world is not opportunity,
But the courage to wait.
A 10% rise makes you itch to take profits,
A 5% drop makes you panic-sell.
During fluctuations, you must seek presence.
Perfectly performing the script of "buy high, sell low" like leeks.
What’s even scarier is
Many people are no longer investing,
But are using trading to fill the void.
Every order placed is a carnival of dopamine.
Until one day I realized:
Reduce trading frequency to 20% of the original,
Use the time spent watching shows to study cycles,
Establish strict rules and execute them mechanically.
The tuition fees paid
Finally start to yield profits.
Specific operations?
There are too many tricks in this (experienced traders understand).
But now, there are smart people doing just that:
Waking up naturally every day, not watching the market, not anxious,
Yet the account is steadily growing...
If you are still—
All in at the peak of the bull market,
Cutting losses at the bottom of the bear market,
Tossing and turning at midnight,
Maybe it's time to change the game.
In this battlefield, those who survive
Are not the ones with the best skills,
But those who understand the beauty of restraint.
Remember:
The most lethal weapon
Is often the simplest patience.
