When I steadily transferred 1.2 million to my parents' account, both elders' hands were shaking.
They only remember that in 2021, I rushed into the cryptocurrency world with 50,000, but they forgot that in the bear market of 2022, I turned off the lights and played dead every night, and in 2023, while others chased the highs, I went fishing every day.
In a word: if you want to survive in the crypto world until the ATM smokes, you must first let "feelings" go offline.
The following 6 cold-blooded actions are the "survival patches" I created by smashing money through liquidation, missing opportunities, and rights protection groups one by one.
1. First learn to "live," then learn to "earn"
500,000 → 1,000,000 needs to double, but 1,000,000 → 500,000 only needs to be halved;
A rise of 15% followed by a drop of 15% quietly evaporates 2.25% of the principal. After a few fluctuations, the profits are incinerated.
The goal is not to double, but to ensure the account still has a breath of life.
2. High volatility ≠ high returns
A friend with 1,000,000 first +50% then -30%, the account shows 1,050,000, seemingly happy, but the annualized return in two years is less than 3%, underperforming money market funds.
Compound interest relies on a steady slope, not on a heartbeat roller coaster.
3. Small profits depend on rules, big profits depend on patience
The fantasy of earning 2% daily = plugging in greed.
Pre-set "take profit + stop loss," then turn off the machine.
Don't let occasional profits fool you into thinking it's skill; it's actually the market rewarding you.
4. Calculate "blended cost" before adding positions
Buying 20,000 pieces at 8 yuan, then adding 20,000 more at 4 yuan, the cost is 6 yuan, not the 6.5 yuan you just guessed.
If you miscalculate the cost, the more you add, the more panicked you become; the more it drops, the more you curse the project party, but in fact, you're cursing your own math.
5. Floating profits should not be withdrawn; they are just colorful bubbles
When the account reaches 1.2 million, I only keep 200,000 on the battlefield, transferring the rest to a cold wallet.
On the day the bubble bursts, the principal remains, and the profits have not turned into "once had."
Locking in profits is tougher than just picking the right coin.
6. The bear market is the true mirror
In a bull market, everyone rises, and it’s hard to distinguish who is the phoenix;
When a waterfall comes, those that drop less than the market and still have active trading are the hard currency.
The crypto world is not short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can cage their emotions.
Don't chase trends, don't believe concepts, don't rely on feelings; use data to set units, use discipline to cut losses, use cold wallets to survive.
On the road of compound interest, I walk fast alone, but a group walks far. You are welcome to join me. #加密市场回调
