I want to share the most unforgettable experience from my cryptocurrency trading career.

After 8 years of trading, I finally understood: it’s not the skyrocketing prices that make people rich, but rather — taking the money away.

Let’s go back to 2017.

I stealthily bought ADA at 0.03U, and no one knew; I held onto it quietly.

Three months later, it soared to 1.2U, my account multiplied by 40 times, and I felt like I was dreaming every day.

How crazy was I back then?

I was browsing the Porsche official website obsessively, my phone filled with luxury car addresses, already living in my mind the life of "financial freedom."

What was the result?

I didn’t sell a single coin.

Until ADA dropped from 1.2U to 0.2U, watching my profits vanish faster than they came, I finally woke up:

I once fantasized about a Porsche, and now I couldn’t even afford a second-hand BYD.

The real underlying logic can be summed up in one sentence:

Buying right is luck, selling right is skill.

The reason I can stay steady today is not because my skills are strong, but because I’ve lost enough to finally learn to obey the rules.

Over the years, I've summarized a set of "foolproof methods," which are actually the most survivable ways for ordinary people.

1️⃣ Taking profits: Don’t bet on the peak, just take profits in batches

If it doubles: sell 30% → get the principal back first

If it triples: sell another 30% → lock in most of the profits

The rest goes with a trailing stop → automatically liquidate when it drops 15% from the peak

It seems foolish, but it’s what everyone who survives is doing.

2️⃣ Stop loss: If the direction is wrong, just run

Now I don’t let a single trade lose more than 5%.

The first thing I do after buying is to set a stop-loss order; no struggling, no praying, no fantasizing.

Last month I stopped out of a trade, and my friend laughed at me for being timid, but that coin went to zero directly afterward.

I was safe and sound.

The biggest problem has never been the market, but human nature.

Over the years, I've seen too many friends:

Not selling when they made six figures,

Thinking they could push for seven figures,

And then giving it all back.

What can make money is the market,

What can preserve money is discipline.

Remember one thing:

In the crypto world, it’s not about who makes money the fastest, but who survives the longest.

When you can execute the rules like a machine, you are not far from freedom. @K哥财经
