How to Survive Long Enough to Win in Crypto? šāāļø
Crypto rewards the people who stay solvent. A 50% drawdown needs a 100% recovery. An 80% drawdown needs 400%. Most traders never see those recoveries because they get wiped out long before the market turns bullish.
š Cycles eventually bail out the prepared. BTC makes new highs, narratives rotate, liquidity comes back. If you still have capital when the cycle flips, you benefit. If youāre blown up, the next leg happens without you.
Here are the habits that keep you solvent in crypto š
1ļøā£Fall in love with selling. Sell airdrops, take profit on good trades, exit bad ones fast, and sell anything you wouldnāt confidently re-buy today.
2ļøā£Always keep a chunk of your portfolio in stablecoins. Liquidity is your lifeline.
3ļøā£Use a cold wallet if you hold real size. Hot wallets fail, people make mistakes, platforms disappear.
4ļøā£Spread funds across multiple wallets. One point of failure is all it takes.
5ļøā£Avoid shady platforms. No tier-3 exchanges, no low-TVL lending apps, no protocols run by ghosts.
