The big pitfalls I encountered in crypto trading: 90% of people are still repeating my foolish actions
I dare say, the issues you're currently facing—'not being able to hold BTC positions,' 'getting anxious as soon as I enter ETH contracts,' 'losing money despite correctly analyzing the trend'—are all pitfalls I stumbled into three years ago. It wasn't until I threw the 'mysticism of trading' into the trash that I truly transformed from a 'losing player' into someone who can consistently profit. First, let's expose my dark history: when I first entered the scene, I was obsessed with the so-called 'technical analysis guru' approach. I filled the K-line charts with various indicators, firmly believing I could accurately predict every rise and fall of BTC. What happened? I thought a breakout above the previous high meant it would definitely go up, only to get harvested by the big players; I believed the support level was unbreakable and held my position until I was liquidated. The funniest part is that every time I lost money, I would scold myself for having a 'poor mindset,' until one day I suddenly realized: where did this mindset issue come from? The real problem was that my trading logic was as flawed as a sieve!
A 46-Year-Old Crypto Veteran with a Fortune of 80 Million, Haggling at the Market on an Electric Scooter? I've Known Him for 12 Years and Uncovered 6 Rules for Making Money.
You might not believe it, but I know a hardcore player in the crypto circle who has been immersed for 12 years. He turned an investment of over 200,000 into more than 80 million. At 46 years old, he lives in an old residential area and relies on a second-hand electric scooter to go out. Even buying a vegetable at the market can take him 5 minutes of haggling with the vendor. Last time I met him for coffee, he was wearing a well-worn polo shirt and ordered the cheapest Americano. I couldn't help but tease him: 'Bro, with your wealth, you should be considered a big shot in the circle. Is it really necessary to be this stingy?' He took a sip of coffee and laughed: 'Money is made through understanding, not by showing off. The vibe of the market keeps me grounded; what the crypto market lacks most is clarity.'
90% of people in the crypto circle lose more as they trade? I used ten years to go from 100,000 to 80 million: the core is just two words, don't gamble recklessly!
Here's a heart-wrenching truth: the ones who can truly make money in the crypto circle are no longer those 'wild players' who listen to news and chase trends; instead, there are more and more people who 'seem to understand the industry,' but they lose even worse than beginners. Why are there fewer and fewer people with awareness? I am Old K, immersed in the crypto market for a full ten years. In 2013, I jumped in with 100,000 savings, and after half a year, I was left with only 20,000, staring at the K-line every day and losing sleep; now my account funds have exceeded 80 million, I own three properties, and I have changed my cars twice, relying not on luck, but on completely stepping on the 'gambler's mentality.'
After surviving 3 rounds of bloodbath in the crypto circle, here are the 8 unconventional methods that saved my life
Brothers! Let me be clear with you, after 12 years in the crypto circle, I haven't relied on any insider information, nor have I touched any 'wealth codes.' I've survived solely on 8 rules I stumbled upon myself, managing to stay afloat through 3 major crashes; not having my account wiped out is already a win, and now I can chat with you all here comfortably. To be honest, every day in this circle, some people shout 'bottom fishing' and 'hundred times coins,' while others cry out 'liquidated.' I've seen too many newbies get deceived by K-lines and misled by big influencers, losing their principal in just a few days. Today, I'm not going to be vague; I'm sharing my 8 survival rules that I've kept for tough times, all of which are hard-earned insights. After reading this, you can avoid 90% of the detours!
Stop loss swept away + missing out double kill? I rely on 'inverse stop loss technique' to turn losses into gains, while 90% are still doing it wrong!
After opening a position, I once made a profit that made me want to take a screenshot and show off. As a result, the market reversed and precisely triggered my stop loss. Just after I cut my losses and left, it started to surge in the direction I had predicted. The feeling of missing out is so frustrating it might drive you crazy lately, right? Stop listening to those “highest realm of stop loss” nonsense—it's all talk! What truly prevents you from being harvested by the big players and missing out on major market movements is real substance. Today, I'm going to share my ultimate “inverse stop loss technique.” After reading this, no one will dare say you're a trading novice! Let me ask everyone a heart-wrenching question: do you always randomly pick an entry point with a snap decision and then casually set a stop loss? Congratulations, you've hit the fatal pitfall of 90% of retail investors! A stop loss isn’t just a decorative item used to 'save your life' after entering a position; it’s your 'scouting team' sent to investigate the big players' movements—if the scouting team is disorganized, the big players will easily trap you! I've seen too many people set their stop losses at what seems to be a 'reasonable' position, like randomly picking a previous high or low, only to be swept away by the big players, and then the market takes off. Frustrating, right? A truly effective stop loss is never decided on a whim; it has to be based on a 'consensus level line' that the market has tested repeatedly through long and short battles—this is a position that the big players won’t bother to manipulate. Once it breaks and then rebounds back, it’s a signal to make money! Here comes the key point (note this!): after years of navigating the crypto market, the most profitable strategy I’ve found is to go against the flow—first find an effective stop loss level, then work backwards to find the entry point! Don’t foolishly enter a position and then look for a stop loss; you need to focus on those key levels that have been tested multiple times and can't be broken through, treating them as your 'support stop loss level.' Then, set up an ambush based on that level—if the big players come to test it, we’ll be ready for a major move! For example: a certain mainstream cryptocurrency repeatedly tests a level line, frequently spiking high and then retreating, testing the bottom and bouncing back—this is the market consensus level. Wait until it truly breaks below and then rebounds back to this level; don’t rush to enter! Confirm that it can’t effectively break through after the pullback, and then enter, setting your stop loss just slightly outside this level line—the big players want to sweep you? They have to first break the market consensus, and their cost is much higher than yours! Previously, a fan argued with me: 'Isn't this just talking based on charts?' I directly showed him my real trading records—last month, I made a significant gain in ETH-related operations using this strategy, with a stable stop loss and precise entry timing, completely unafraid of the big players manipulating the market. Those who shout about 'stop loss realms' every day should learn how to find effective stop loss levels, after all, we come to the market to make money, not to cultivate immortality!
Newbie Savior! Master K-line in the Crypto Circle and No Longer Be a 'Bag Holder'
Who understands this? When I first entered the crypto circle and looked at the red and green bars on the chart, it felt like reading a foreign language. Either I blindly bought and got cut, or I missed the market and regretted it! Later, I realized that mastering candlesticks is like getting the 'detective's magnifying glass' for market dynamics; all the subtlety of the bull-bear game is hidden in it! Today, I'm going to share my top-notch candlestick basics, and after reading it, newbies can instantly become 'market experts' and easily pass the investment entry hurdle! First, let's understand: what exactly is a candlestick? Many people don't know that candlesticks are not exclusive to the crypto circle. Going back 300 years, Japanese rice merchants used them to record rice price fluctuations! Because they look like small candles, they are also called 'candlestick charts.' Who would have thought that the wisdom of our ancestors is still applicable in today's crypto market!
From 20U to 1190U? I’ve become a 'seasoned player' in crypto contracts relying on 9 short trading rules
Who hasn't stumbled in crypto short trading? Back in the day, I jumped into the contract market with 20U, blew up three times in three months, almost smashed my keyboard shouting 'this market is all scythes'; now, relying on the 9 short trading rules I've painstakingly summarized, I won't say I win every time, but at least I've torn off the label of 'liquidation player', and my account has climbed from 20U to 1190U.

7 Foolproof Ways to Profit in the Crypto World: I relied on them to double my assets from a monthly salary of 5,000
After 5 years in the crypto world, I've seen people shouting for "all-in to get rich" only to end up with nothing but their underwear. I've also seen those who quietly roll small funds into large positions. The harsh truth is: those who can consistently profit are not the "gamblers" betting on price fluctuations, but rather those who have ingrained the principle of "stability" into their bones. Today, I'm sharing my top 7 profitable strategies that beginners can follow to minimize tuition fees, and veterans can use to identify gaps. Don't rush to scroll away after reading; make sure to follow me so you can find your way next time you want to copy my homework! 1. The Zen Way of Holding Coins: The simplest yet most counterintuitive method I would like to call this method the "Lazy Person's Bible in the Crypto World"—choose 1-2 fundamentally strong assets, buy them, and then directly "seal" your wallet. Don't touch trading software for six months to a year. Theoretically, as long as you can hold on, achieving tenfold returns in one cycle is not a dream. But in reality, 90% of beginners can't withstand pullbacks; they panic and cut losses when the price drops by 20%, and rush to take profits when it rises by 30%, only to watch the assets they sold soar to the sky.
Don't be fooled by "stable profit = counting money every day"! Six years ago, I faced bankruptcy and insomnia from debt, now a seven-figure account reveals the truth.
It's all fans asking: "Brother Wei, what does stable profit feel like? Is it true that you can rake in a few hundred U every day with your eyes closed and earn 20% monthly?" Every time I see this question, I want to laugh and feel heartbroken. Back then, I jumped into the crypto market with this fantasy, only to lose all my savings and end up in debt, almost forcing myself to stay up all night with my eyes wide open until dawn. Looking back now, those days of ecstasy, collapse, and late-night smoking on the balcony have long become fleeting memories; trading for me is no longer a gamble for life, but just a routine operation in life.
5 years without flipping! 5000U rolled into 7 figures, I used these 3 tricks to make the market work for me
Let me ask a heart-wrenching question: have you ever stayed up all night staring at the screen until your eyes hurt, frantically chasing gains and cutting losses, only to either get liquidated by a spike or hold onto a position until your principal goes to zero? Don't swipe away! I am Old K, I've been grinding in the crypto circle for 12 years. Since 2013, I entered the market with 5000U and have seen too many people lose money relying on luck. In the end, they lost everything by relying on their own abilities. Some brothers chased high contracts and lost their down payments, while some newbies went all-in on altcoins and lost everything overnight. Meanwhile, my account has always been as steady as a straight line; I haven't flipped in 5 years, and my maximum drawdown has never exceeded 8% of my principal. I have rolled 5000U into 7 figures.
12 Years as a Full-Time Cryptocurrency Veteran: From 10,000 to 25 Million, What I Rely on is Not Luck but 'Job-like Trading'
Haven't you also encountered the myth of 'getting rich overnight in the cryptocurrency world'? You dive in and find yourself being pressed to the ground? Don't be silly! I entered the market in 2013 with 10,000 yuan I saved from working while in college. I haven't had a job since graduation, living off cryptocurrencies for 12 years, going from almost losing 500,000 to rolling to over 25 million. The pitfalls I've encountered could circle the exchange three times. Today, let me speak frankly: what can make you money in the cryptocurrency world is never 'taking a gamble', but treating cryptocurrency trading as a serious job from 9 to 5! In the first two years after entering the market, I was just like the current newcomers: staying up late watching the market like I was on steroids, chasing highs and cutting losses more fiercely than anyone else, thinking that ETH leverage + altcoin spot trading would guarantee easy wins. In the end, I almost squandered 10 million in profits. It wasn't until I was left with only 500,000 that I suddenly realized: for small capital, discipline is 100 times more important than intelligence!
Stop staring at the market aimlessly! I rely on 'golden tail K-line', making steady profits in the crypto market with small funds for 2 years.
I've seen too many newcomers in the crypto market staying up all night staring at charts until they have panda eyes, buying randomly after getting blinded by the K-line charts. They either chase highs and get trapped crying, or cut losses at the lowest point, ultimately spending enough on fees to buy half a year’s worth of milk tea. Today, I want to share with you my 'lazy trading method' that I've used for 5 years. You don't need to understand news, or memorize complicated indicators, just 2 steps to grasp high win rate signals. Even with small capital, you can gradually roll it into a snowball. Let me be honest: a high win rate is never about 'guessing the market.' Many people think that successful traders are 'prophets,' but I once fell into that trap too, running after so-called 'insider information' every day, and ended up losing so much that I was nearly broke. It wasn't until later that I realized: in the crypto market, a practical trading system is 100 times more reliable than 'precise predictions.'
Brothers, attention! The judge's hammer may have struck the last golden pit before the bull market!\n\nI just saw the news about Connecticut being slapped in the face by a federal judge, and I couldn't help but applaud! This is not just a simple legal dispute, but a crack in the iron curtain of traditional financial regulation!\nLooking at the on-chain data, smart money has already moved: In the past 24 hours, the supply of stablecoins on exchanges has surged by 800 million USD, but the net withdrawal amount of BTC/ETH has also risen—indicating that a large amount of capital is gathering off-exchange, waiting for a sniping opportunity.\nThe funding rates in the derivatives market have returned to neutral, but the large options contracts show that the premiums for call options expiring in Q1 next year have skyrocketed by 300%, and whales are betting real money on regulatory easing.\nMy judgment is extremely clear: this is the most important regulatory turning point signal in the first half of 2025!\nThe judge's temporary injunction essentially acknowledges: using last century's "gambling law" to define prediction markets is just playing tricks!\nBehind Kalshi stands the entire DeFi prediction track, and the state government's continuous defeats mean that the federal level will inevitably open the green light for crypto innovation sooner or later.\nEmotionally, I am fully charged: any pullback now is just giving away money!\nRemember what I said in the community last week? "When the regulatory bearish sentiment is exhausted, it's time for the altcoin season charge"—today's judge's hammer is that horn call\n#ETH走势分析 $ETH \n
Losing in cryptocurrency trading? Don’t panic! The 15-minute wave trading method is a practical guide that even beginners can use to profit.
Isn't it true that you often fall into the dead cycle of 'chasing highs and getting trapped, cutting losses and then seeing prices rise'? Either you stare at the candlestick charts all day until your eyes go dark, or you follow so-called 'experts' and end up losing your pants? Today, I won't hold back; I'm sharing my 'lazy wave trading method' verified over 5 years of practical experience: 15-minute cycles + naked candlesticks + Bollinger Bands + MACD. No complicated analysis, no staying up all night watching the market. Just execute strictly, and you can steadily capture wave profits! Beginners can directly copy the homework after watching, and veterans can also patch up their gaps. Let me highlight my core point: if you want to sustain profits in cryptocurrency trading, don’t be greedy about 'catching the full wave,' and avoid 'meme coins and erratic varieties.' Just focus on 'smooth trends' + 'clear signals'! Many people lose not because of poor skills, but due to chaotic mindsets and mixed signals. This method helps you filter out garbage signals and lock in high-probability opportunities.
Just now, I was staring at the 1-hour K-line chart of ETH, my blood was boiling, this trend is simply giving us opportunities! Look at the chart: after the price surged to 3374.93, it fell back, now steadily fluctuating on the middle track of the Bollinger Bands (around 3367.53), the EMA and MA moving averages are starting to flatten, indicating fierce competition between bulls and bears! The MACD's DIF and DEA are still above the zero axis, but the red bars are shortening, short-term adjustment pressure? I'll say it directly: this is a wash, don't be fooled!
The technical side tells me that there may be short-term fluctuations and adjustments, but this is precisely a good opportunity to increase positions! On-chain data is even more explosive, long-term holders have stable chips like a rock, and institutions are still secretly increasing their holdings! On the news front, expectations for ETFs and ecosystem upgrades are stirring, and the fundamentals are strong to the point of having no friends! Overall, my view is unwavering: ETH will fluctuate and accumulate in the short term, and will inevitably soar in the medium to long term!
Lost money in trading and want to close your account? What you lack is not a 'universal system', but this essential 'multiplication table' you must learn.
Have you also come across various 'crypto market passive income secrets'? Holding onto a guru's trading system and studying it overnight, only to be crushed by the market as soon as you try it? Back in the day, I rushed into the market with the capital I had saved for half a year, obsessed with flashy indicators like MACD and Bollinger Bands, firmly believing that 'mastering the system would make me rich'. In the end, I lost so much that I couldn't even afford bubble tea. Looking back now, I simply didn't understand the 'multiplication table' of trading: candlestick charts! Don't think that the basics of candlestick charts are insignificant; this thing is like the foundation of a house. If you can't even lay bricks, how do you expect to build a skyscraper? I've seen too many newcomers who jump straight into chasing 'advanced strategies' and 'contract secrets', only to have their foundations collapse. No matter how fancy the architecture is, it will still fall apart. Today, I'm sharing the practical candlestick insights I've summarized over many years of stumbling around, all real stuff filtered from actual trading, not the 'theoretical discussions' found in books.
Crypto Circle Alarm! Internet Celebrity Flaunts Wealth and Gets Precisely Targeted, Your NFT Holdings Might Be a 'Withdrawal Invitation'!

This is not just a case of an internet celebrity; it's a tailor-made risk lesson for all of us in the crypto circle who love to 'show off'!

This dead silence of 92777 is not support at all, it's a trap set by the bears! In the 1-hour K-line chart, the Bollinger Bands are opening their jaws like a crocodile, and the price cannot even climb to the middle track; all EMA moving averages are twisted into a death noose, and the green energy bars of MACD are still sucking blood—this is not a fluctuation, this is a cold continuation of a downward trend! The 'smart money' on-chain has quietly shifted positions long ago, combined with the low pressure of news, market sentiment is crystallizing into frost. Stop deceiving yourself!
