I blocked the girl who went from 1200U to 51,000U.
When she found me, her account had only 1196U left, her voice trembling, saying that if she lost it all, she would leave the crypto world for good. I told her to only place 10% of her position on the first trade, she complained it was slow, but still listened. I knew she was holding a lot of frustration inside.
From 1200U to 51,000U, we endured for 35 days. At first, she made 32%, and I pushed her to take profits immediately: "Never touch the principal again." She gradually changed, no longer anxious when making profits, and not resentful when losing, learning to analyze on-chain data. But when her account broke 50,000U, she suddenly asked me, "Sister, can I bring people in now?" — with an overly confident gleam in her eyes.
On the 32nd day, she went all in on a popular altcoin without consulting me, and her account dropped by 41%. She said, "I can’t always rely on you." but forgot that I taught her discipline: pyramid-style profit-taking, hard stop-losses, watching the fear and greed index… Once someone feels they’re “good,” they tend to unbuckle their seatbelt.
I blocked her. It wasn't because I was angry she lost money, but because she lost her reverence for the market.
The crypto world is never short of smart people; what it lacks is the calmness of "not getting carried away when making profits, and not panicking when losing." Those who survive rely on repeating tedious disciplines — like collecting plastic bags, accumulating each small victory, so that when the wind comes, there’s a container to catch the luck.
If you also want to last a bit longer:
· Don’t let your account hijack your emotions; leave the screen for 10 minutes when your palms start to sweat.
· Use tools to set guardrails: automatically take profits when the greed index > 90, check sentiment data for popular coins, strictly separate principal from profits.
· Acknowledge that you will make mistakes. The difference between experts and novices is often just whether they are willing to cut losses.
After blocking her, I changed my signature: "There are no myths in the crypto world, only ordinary people who survive."
Perhaps one day she will understand: what truly took her from 1200U to 51,000U was not a specific coin, but those late-night urges that were restrained, and the greed that was suppressed.
Unfortunately, teaching others is difficult; experience teaches once is enough — and the tuition in the crypto world has always been steep.
