When my aunt said, "Why not marry a rich man?" I was squatting on the floor of my rented apartment, staring at the mere 800U left in my account. That moment of chill still stings when I think back on it. But also, that saying forced me to tear off the "gambler" label and start rooting myself in the crypto world with rationality. Today, I want to talk about my transformation rules—not a quick success secret, but a survival logic that ordinary people can hold onto.
1. Entering the crypto world: fanaticism and lessons learned
I was once a "hot post believer": following the crowd in the forum, chasing after rising K-lines, and ended up with only a fraction of my principal left. Later, I understood that the market specializes in punishing those who don't comply: blind chasing and selling = giving money to big players. For example, during the LUNA crash in 2022, how many people lost everything overnight? However, I managed to preserve 90% of my profits thanks to the laddered take-profit strategy I learned later.
This experience made me understand: the crypto world is not a casino, but a cognitive arena. Those without strategies will ultimately become fuel for those with strategies.
Two, three-in-one principle: My solid foundation.
After meeting a benefactor, I learned to use systems to counter human nature. Her account had a drawdown of no more than 8% over five years, showing me the power of 'slow is fast.' These three strategies are still my core principles today:
Split rolling: Only steady can lead to long-term profits.
60% base position: Only invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Don't panic sell when prices drop, and don't be greedy when they rise; treat them as digital gold.
40% rolling position: Use only 1/5 for swing trading each time, profit first replenishes the base position, and losses must never touch the base position.
Example: When ETH broke 2000 USD in 2020, I accumulated 120,000 USDT through rolling positions and paid the down payment for my first house. The base position is the ballast, and the rolling position is the accelerator.
Signal filtering: Reject noise, only seize certain opportunities.
Don’t look at a single K line; must wait for RSI (below 30) + MACD golden cross to buy; RSI (above 70) + MACD death cross resonance to sell.
Example: Last year SOL dropped from 100 USD to 80 USD, and after patiently waiting for double signal confirmation, I entered the market and earned 380,000 USDT in three days. The most expensive thing in the market is the 'impulse tax.'
Ladder profit-taking: Lock in floating profits in a safe.
Set three profit-taking points before opening a position:
Earn 20% → Withdraw 10% to the cold wallet to buy physical items (I prefer gold jewelry);
Earn 50% → Withdraw 30% to keep safe;
For the remaining part, if it drops below cost by 10%, clear the position immediately.
This set of actions allowed me not only to break even during the LUNA crash but also to gain 39% in my account, enabling me to buy my first car.
Three, heartfelt words to my sisters.
Avoid greed: Focusing on two mainstream coins is enough. Altcoins are highly volatile, and non-professionals can easily become fodder.
Practice patience: If signals are not aligned, it's better to stay out of the market. Not trading is also a form of profit.
Cold wallet is the bottom line: Important assets must never be stored long-term on exchanges.
Last year, my cousin brought cherries and said with red eyes, 'I was short-sighted back then...' I smiled and didn’t respond. She wasn’t wrong—stability doesn’t necessarily rely on marriage, but it definitely relies on rationality. Now that my cousin comes for advice, I only give her this sentence: 'The crypto world can magnify everything about you, including weaknesses. First cultivate your mind, then cultivate your skills.'
