The hardest lesson in the cryptocurrency world is not how to make money, but when to stop.

Many people lose at this step.

In 2020, I saw a friend who entered the market with $5000, caught the bull market, and turned it into $100,000 in half a year.

At that time, we were all happy for him and urged him to take some out and secure his profits.

He laughed casually: Don't rush, I want to reach $500,000; this is just a warm-up.

As you can guess, the market reversed. $100,000 turned into $30,000, and in the end, only a few hundred dollars were left. That day, he stared at the screen in a daze, unable to speak. He never opened the trading software again.

I have also fallen victim to this.

Once my account surged to $600,000, watching the profits soar, I felt the urge to gamble for over a million.

But after one correction, it dropped back to $200,000. Those few days, I was completely stunned, trying to hold on during the day while at night my mind was filled with that K-line.

After that, I finally understood: In the cryptocurrency world, it's not about how much you can earn, but how much you can take away.

Too many people die in the greed of “just a little more,” thinking they are making money, but in reality, they are waiting to lose everything. True experts never get greedy for the last piece of meat.

I later set a few strict rules for myself: When the account doubles, take out 30%; when it triples, withdraw half; the money earned must be secured into a real account.

It's not cowardice; it's understanding.

No matter how beautiful the numbers are, if you don't cash out, they are just illusions.

You ask me: How much is enough?

Actually, there is no standard answer to this question.

Because human nature is never satisfied.

The difference is: Some people get off before the peak, while others only wake up after a fall to the bottom.

The cruelty of the cryptocurrency world lies here: Those who can survive until the end are not the ones who earn the most, but those who dare to stop halfway.

Opportunities are always there.

But once the capital is gone, the game is over.

Now I only believe in one thing: Not only should you be able to earn, but you must also be able to protect it.
