From 'myth' to rationality
I've heard that someone turned 150,000 into 420 million? The crypto world never lacks stories of getting rich quickly, but as an analyst with many years of experience, I have seen more endings of 'myths' shattering. The real winners are often not those 'gamblers' chasing hot trends, but the 'fools' who are patient like hunters and follow the rules. The mindset I am sharing today helped a friend who lost 400,000 recover his funds in half a year and drive a Tesla; the core is just eight words: 'Maintain a stable mindset, adhere to discipline.'
1. Refuse to 'earn small losses and suffer big losses', firmly stick to stop-loss and take-profit lines
90% of losses come from chasing small profits and hoping to hold on. The lesson I learned last year still stings: when BTC rose from 18,000 to 18,900, I hurried to take profits and made 900U, only to miss the subsequent 4,000U increase; unwilling to accept this, I heavily chased the upward trend and ended up losing 500U due to stubbornly holding on to my stop-loss line.
My iron rule:
Be bold in cutting losses: Single losses should not exceed 5% of the principal, and leave the market immediately if it falls below key support lines;
Take profits without greed: When profits exceed 20%, withdraw principal in batches and let the profit part follow the trend.
Market fluctuations in the crypto world are like waves; clever tricks are often knocked dizzy, while foolish methods can live longer.
Second, only focus on mainstream coins, do not touch 'air scythes'.
New coins and altcoins often advertise 'ten-thousand-fold dreams' to attract funds, but the ones that truly withstand the test are still mainstream assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. Last year when ETH dropped from 1,500 dollars to 800 dollars, I waited until it consolidated for a week and stabilized at 880U (MA30 support) before gradually building my position.
Why stick to the mainstream?
High liquidity resists crashes: Even during deep declines, institutional support and community consensus can easily drive rebounds;
Avoid zero-risk: New coin project parties running away and regulatory black swans frequently occur, but mainstream coins can at least 'survive.'
The so-called 'foolishness' is recognizing that you cannot predict which new coin will explode, and only doing things that have a high probability of being correct.
Third, take action only when the trend is clear, rolling profits withdraw principal.
Is buying at the bottom often just halfway up the mountain? The problem lies in impatience. I never pursue buying at the lowest point; rather, I wait for trend confirmation and then add to my position during a pullback. For example, I only added 20% when ETH rebounded from 880U to 950U and then pulled back to the 900U support level.
Capital management mindset:
Principal safety first: When the principal of 10,000U grows to 15,000U, withdraw the principal first and continue to gamble with the profit portion;
Take profits in batches: Withdraw part of the profits every time it rises 10% to avoid rollercoaster account fluctuations.
This friend who recovered funds relied on this strategy: operating with a capital of 50,000U, not only filling the pit after half a year but also earning an additional 200,000.
Fourth, emotions are the enemy, discipline is the amulet.
The crypto world is like a magnifying glass, greed and fear are magnified infinitely. Many people are addicted to frequent short-term operations, thus missing out on the trend dividends.
My daily life as a 'fool':
Look at the market less and learn more: Spend a fixed hour each day reviewing technical indicators and the rest of the time studying project fundamentals and industry dynamics;
Isolate market noise: Do not chase group chat 'insider information', only trust on-chain data and authoritative reports.
True masters turn trading into monotonous discipline execution, rather than exciting gambling.
Conclusion: Slow is fast, foolish is smart.
There is no 'get rich overnight' code in the crypto world, only verified long-term strategies. Those who laugh last are often the 'fools' who give up on clever tricks and stick to discipline. If you are tired of chasing highs and selling lows, you might as well start from today:
Only play mainstream, strictly adhere to stop-loss, profit layering, and cut off emotions - perhaps the next to rise against the odds is you.
