Don't think that a bull market is an ATM; a bear market is a morgue—how many people just finished paying 500,000 in tuition when LUNA crashed, and then smashed their coffin money into SHIB as cannon fodder. As someone who has experienced three rounds of bull and bear markets, let's break it down and discuss why those who survive are always the ones who 'dare not be greedy.'
1. Blood and Tears Case: Full Warehouse Three Times, From BMW Owner to Delivery Rider
Last year, a brother came to me crying: in 2021, he used demolition compensation to buy DOGE with all his money, holding from $0.12 to $0.5, making 200,000 and thinking 'the crypto world is nothing special,' directly quitting his programmer job. As a result, when LUNA collapsed in 2022, he bought the dip and got stuck, holding on until it went to zero; in 2023, he saw PEOPLE surge, mortgaged his house to chase the rise, and ended up owing the platform 180,000 at the time of liquidation; early this year, he followed the trend to speculate on AI coins, and now he's even sold his electric bike for delivering food.
These three operations, every one stepped on a landmine:
First time: Used relocation money as 'spending money' to go all in, completely lacking risk control awareness (refer to Wang Wei's liquidation case);
Second time: Mortgaged property to chase highs and sell lows, directly triggering a 'death spiral' (the same method as BitEase CEO's 100x leverage liquidation);
Third time: Used borrowed money to speculate on worthless coins, completely became a cash machine for the market maker (similar to Xia Jie being trapped by ONT).
Two, advice from old investors: Surviving is a million times more important than getting rich.
I have seen too many cases of 'getting rich and then suffering':
2021 bull market: Someone achieved financial freedom through altcoins, but in 2022 bear market fell into debt of a million, wife divorced and child dropped out of school;
2023 rebound: someone turned 100,000 into 3 million, then went all in on Meme coins, and ended up with only 30,000, afraid to tell their family;
2024 AI boom: Someone mortgaged their car loan to speculate on RDNT, made 500,000, felt 'this time is different', leveraged 50 times, and now even their car has been repossessed.
The common point of these people is three words: Greed!
They are always repeating the same script:
Early in the bull market: "Small positions to test the waters, if I earn a bit, I want to increase my position";
Mid-bull market: "If others can tenfold, why can't I?";
Late bull market: "This time is different, the market manipulation is just an illusion!";
Bear market arrives: "Wait for the rebound, I’m sure I can break even";
Zero moment: "The crypto world is a scam! I'm never playing again!"
Three, survival rules: Rolling snowballs is a million times more reliable than gambling on getting rich quick.
Players who truly survive understand these three iron rules:
Always only use spare money: Losses shouldn't affect the principal that allows you to eat and sleep, that way you can sleep well (refer to stablecoin investment strategies);
Bull-bear rotation for trading:
Only trade spot in a bull market, dollar-cost average BTC in a bear market (like Xian Yun who uses USDT to preserve capital);
Plunge 30% to buy in batches, surge 50% to take profits in batches (don't learn from contract gamblers who go all in);
Better to earn less than to explode your account:
In 2022, someone invested 100,000 in ETH regularly, dollar-cost averaging through the bear market until 2024, and now it has tripled;
At the same time, someone played contracts with 1 million, and now the account has only 55 yuan (exactly like Liu Jie's tragic case).
