#ETH Two o'clock in the morning. A fan with a grayish avatar said, "Brother, if I lose any more, I'm quitting the circle."

Only 1400U left in the account, the aftermath of the third liquidation. That kind of impatience of wanting to turn things around but fearing to miss the opportunity is something I'm very familiar with—every newcomer has experienced it.

I said, "You're not here to gamble, you're here to rebuild your account."

For the first trade, I only let him use 10% of his position to buy ETH. He was stunned: "Just 200U? This will take ages to turn around."

I stared at him and said, "Survive first, then we can talk about turning things around." He gritted his teeth and pressed the buy button.

Three days later, the market started to rise, and the account was up 36%. I had him transfer the 600U profit to his spot account and only use the principal for trading: "Profits should be like seeds; you need to store them before they can sprout."

During that time, we were almost synchronously watching the market. He filled every page of his notebook with records, analyzing the market at three in the morning, densely packed.

1400U, 1900U, 5200U, 8700U... On the 28th day, breaking 50,000, he asked me, "Brother, am I considered a master now? Can I bring friends to trade?"

I didn’t answer, only saw him posting profit screenshots in his social circle—Is it easy to reverse in the crypto world? No, the difficulty lies in maintaining discipline.

On the 34th day, he secretly over-invested in altcoins, saying, "I watched the K-line for three days, it’s definitely going to rise."

In the end, he lost 43%. He said, "I wanted to test my judgment."

At that moment, what I saw was not courage, but a familiar impulse—the shadow of liquidation came back.

On the 36th day, I blocked him. The account still had 28,000U left, not because I was heartbroken over the money, but because I watched him throw away "diversification, stop-loss, rolling positions" into the trash. The habits formed over 28 days were no match for the inner demon wanting to prove himself.

The harshest truth in the crypto world: Making 50,000 from 1400U is not hard; what’s difficult is maintaining the discipline to continue.

Those who can truly survive do not rely on one-time big profits, but rather engrave discipline into their bones.

As the old fisherman says: Going to sea does not rely on one big fish, but on knowing which sea area has the most reefs.

In summary: Many can make money, but only those who can maintain it deserve to show off.
