🔥 SURVIVE FIRST - EARN PROFITS LATER
Many newcomers to crypto often have the mindset of wanting to "get rich quick"; seeing a few projects increase in price makes them think they are about to change their lives.
But in reality, crypto is not a race but a long-term game.
The most important thing is not how much you can earn, but still being in the game. Keeping your capital gives you a chance to recover, learn more, and then think about profits.
Reading this article also reminds me of the years in crypto; according to the author, there are two types of people who survive long in crypto:
1️⃣ The Multi-Cycle Cockroaches
These types have gone through all sorts of storms: the ICO of 2017, DeFi Summer, the NFT boom, and then the FTX collapse... They have lost a few times, blown a few trades, but still stayed to learn and gain experience.
Each fall makes them more patient, more selective, and they survive through each season.
2️⃣ Those protected by the luck goddess (I probably belong to this type =)))
Once lost everything, got scammed, hit by leverage, held the peak, bought high, fell for scams, and made every newbie mistake imaginable…
But somehow, they are still here.
Maybe because they only put a small amount of capital on the exchange, while their black funds are in their wallet.
Or they have rebuilt from scratch 2-3 times.
Or they hit a "lucky break".
Or someone believed in them and gave them a new opportunity.
Whether by luck, fate, or stubbornness not to give up,
→ They still exist.
And here are 3 points I summarize:
🔻 Principles to avoid "disappearing"
Keep capital first, earn profits later
Only enter when you see clear opportunities, don’t FOMO
Don’t go all-in, so you have money for the next time
Always be cautious of risks from exchanges, wallets, and people
Keep cash to act when others are scared.
