# Don't be harvested by contracts anymore! This "0-cost leverage" is the smart person's way to make money.
I've always been puzzled: clearly, there are safer "money-making leverages," so why do most people dive headfirst into the vortex of contract liquidation?

The pitfalls of contract leverage are glaringly obvious; it's just that many people are blinded by the fantasy of "quick doubling."

The explicit cost is the continuous erosion of funding rates—when the market is calm, it can swallow 1% of your net worth each month; when the market is hot, the loss can spike directly to 10%; the hidden risks are even more deadly: the higher the leverage, the risk of liquidation does not increase linearly, but instead skyrockets exponentially. It's like holding a contract with 1x leverage for a year; even if the price stays completely still, your net worth might only remain at 0.8. Time becomes a slow poison, gradually squeezing your principal.

In fact, the market has long hidden "0-cost leverage," but no one is willing to take the time to discover it:

That is spot trading + selective investment. Spot trading is inherently a friend of time, and holding spot assets can also pledge for "rental income," easily obtaining an additional 30%-50% annualized returns. When the market rises by 50%, your principal doubles directly; even if it falls by 20%-30%, you won’t incur direct losses, with a margin of error that leaves contracts far behind. For spot trading, time is a value-added agent; but for contracts, time is a bloodsucking knife—holding for one more day means being cut by the funding rate once more.

Choosing the right targets is more like adding hidden leverage to your returns.

In a round of market conditions, SUI and BGB can increase by 10 times, while EOS and LTC might only increase by 60%. Picking strong targets is equivalent to picking up 3-5 times leverage for free, with no funding costs, and you won’t be forced into liquidation by "flash crash" market conditions.

However, most people insist on jumping into traps:

They lack the patience to wait for the "slow wealth" of spot trading and always think about doubling their money overnight through contracts; they lack the ability to choose the right targets, yet are addicted to the thrill of high leverage in contracts. What’s the result? Over the course of a year, they lose dozens of points to funding rates while clinging to the fantasy of "the next round to recover losses," ultimately being washed out by the market.

Trading cryptocurrencies is essentially a mathematical game; only by clearly calculating costs and risks can one laugh till the end.

Give up the high-risk temptation of contracts, and choose "spot trading + selective investment" as your 0-cost leverage. Using time to exchange for space is the truly smart way to play.

Recently, people keep asking me: 'With the market so chaotic, can small funds still enter the market?'

Hearing this, I think of my past self—only 1500U left in my hands, not even daring to look at the contract interface in full screen, fearing that one mistake would wipe out this little capital. Who would have thought that this 1500U would eventually roll up to 30,000U, a solid 20 times increase.

At first, like most small fund players, I was all in on hot spots, chasing rises and selling on dips, getting washed out by the main forces to the point of questioning life. After falling several times, I finally understood: making money in trading has nothing to do with talent; the key is controlling the rhythm and managing the position well.

Step one, thoroughly understand the core logic of 'rolling positions'
This is definitely not gambling on luck, but a compound interest game that uses profits to roll profits. When I opened my first position with 1500U, I only used 30% of the position, locking in profits as soon as I made 10%—separating profits to use as the principal for the next position, while keeping the initial 1500U as a 'moat.' I set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance for each trade, without being greedy or hesitant. While others are hoping to get rich overnight, I only seek to make each trade stable and steady. Gradually, the profits grew larger, and the position was gradually expanded; this solid feeling of 'compound interest snowballing' is more reassuring than a sudden surge.

Step two, stop-loss quickly if the direction is wrong, and dare to increase the position if it's right
No matter how chaotic the market is, the trend cannot be hidden—the trend is a friend, and risk is an enemy. During the 1500U phase, I placed orders like a sniper: I wouldn’t pull the trigger unless I was sure, and once I identified the right trend, I would gradually increase my position in batches, allowing profits to run a bit longer; but if the direction was wrong, I would stop-loss faster than anyone else, never clinging to the fantasy of 'waiting for a rebound.' Many people lose because they can't bear to take small losses, while I can win precisely because I dare to decisively acknowledge my mistakes—stop-loss is not a loss; it's leaving capital for the next opportunity.

Step three, rolling positions rely on rhythm, not luck
From 1500U to 30,000U, it took me only 43 days. There was not a single all-in bet, not a hint of insider information, relying entirely on a fixed position strategy and rhythm control. I summarized this method into the 'three-stage rolling position method': initial capital protection period, profit doubling period, and mindset reversal period. Many friends around me have followed this method, most of whom have achieved several times profit, but the hardest part is grasping the 'degree'—when to enlarge the position and when to take profits off the table; most people stumble here.

# Don't wait for the “Altcoin Season” anymore! Newbies should act like this for stability
A few days ago, I was drinking with a friend who trades cryptocurrencies. He frowned and asked me, “Bro, when exactly can we expect the altcoin season? I've been hearing about it since last year, and I still have half of my altcoins stuck!”

I showed him two sets of data: since last year, aside from a few altcoins that reached new historical highs, the rest have either been in a long-term sideways trend or have been completely stagnant. Especially after the big drop on October 11, many altcoins lost the gains of the past few months in just one day, and some even saw their principal nearly wiped out.

It's not that we have been waiting for too long; the current market conditions simply cannot support an “altcoin season.” In the past, altcoins surged together, relying on a wealthy market and retail investors willing to take risks; now, it’s completely different—

First, consider the broader environment: the US economy is sluggish, and US debt is frighteningly high. They need to “bleed” money from various markets, and the crypto space naturally became a target. Altcoins lack the resilience of mainstream coins and are the first to be hit.

More critically, there is no “fresh money” in the market: new investors are hesitant to enter, retail investors are scared after being cut, and the money they hold is either being kept idle or only being used to buy BTC and ETH. It’s important to know that altcoins rely on retail investors pouring in to rise; with no one to take over, how can there be a widespread “altcoin season”?

You can see that ETH, as the leading altcoin, has already broken its historical high, yet other altcoins remain completely unchanged, which is the best proof.

Here are 3 practical suggestions for newbies that can be used right now:
First, prioritize holding mainstream coins, putting 80% of your portfolio into BTC and ETH. These coins are resilient and have clear rebound opportunities, unlike altcoins that could potentially go to zero;
Second, avoid altcoins as much as possible. If you really want to test the waters, only invest up to 5% of your principal and choose those with real applications (like building on-chain ecosystems). Avoid “air coins” that only rely on narratives;
Third, don’t wait for the “fantasy altcoin season.” The crypto space is no longer a place where you can easily profit in a bull market. The myth of getting rich is becoming rarer; instead of holding onto altcoins waiting for them to recover, focus your energy on short-term operations with mainstream coins—like entering with a small position when BTC retraces to a key support level, which is much more stable.

Newbies shouldn’t be fooled by the old stories of “altcoins rising tenfold”; preserving your capital and making small, steady profits is far more reliable than waiting for an uncertain “altcoin season.”

# 32-Year-Old Cryptocurrency Comeback: From 100,000 to 42,000,000, Using 4 "Foolish Methods" to Control Emotions and Make Big Money
This journey has been filled with ups and downs, and the deepest insight can be summed up in one sentence: the cryptocurrency space is full of a mob chasing after rising and falling prices; as long as you can control your emotions, the market is your cash machine.

If you want to make money in this industry for a long time, I've summarized a few "foolish methods" that seem simple but require patience to implement.

The first is "don’t make small profits and don’t lose big money." These 8 characters are easy to say but extremely difficult to put into practice. In my early years, I tried to open a position with 20,000, and when it rose 5% to 21,000, I panicked and took profits, only to turn around and see the market surge to 25,000, wishing I could slap my thigh in frustration; later, I learned to be smart and wanted to hold for the long term, so I opened another position at 20,000, and when it rose to 21,000, I stubbornly held on without selling, only for the market to plummet back to 19,500, resulting in a stop-loss loss. Many people get stuck in the dilemma of wanting to earn more while fearing losses; I also took about half a year to grasp the rhythm—take what you should take, cut what you should cut.

The second is to only focus on mainstream coins that have dropped significantly. I never touch those flashy new coins or narrative coins; without solid value support, they are all traps for cutting leeks. I wait for the mainstream coins to drop to a certain level and stabilize slowly, first throwing in 10% of my position as a base. I don’t guess the so-called "absolute bottom"; even if I don't buy at the cheapest price, at least it's safe and I can sleep well.

The third is to add positions only after stabilizing. Others always think about buying at the absolute bottom to earn the maximum difference; I prefer to wait for the trend to clearly move up and then add 20%-30% of my position during pullbacks. A slightly higher price is fine; it's much better than getting stuck in a position halfway up the mountain—last year, I helped a friend who lost over 600,000 reorganize his account, and it was done step by step steadily, without letting him fall into another trap.

Finally, and most importantly: every time there is a rise, first take out the principal and half of the profits. No matter how crazy the market gets, as long as it reaches your predetermined target line, sell decisively; never hold on with the greed of "just a little more." Money in hand is real profit; even if the paper gains look good, they can vanish overnight.

Either follow those "smart paths" and continue to lose in chasing rising and falling prices, or try my "foolish methods"—take it steady, don’t be greedy, and every penny earned is solidly grounded. If you are willing to calm down, I will slowly share the practical details I've learned over the years.

I am 32 years old this year, a native of Northeast China, and after working hard in Shenzhen, I have two apartments—one for my parents' retirement, so they don't have to worry about making a living anymore; the other holds my trading diary filled with blood and tears.

This solid life was earned after three years of stumbling in the cryptocurrency world, losing my initial capital of 180,000 to only 30,000, and then clawing my way back to profit.

When I first entered the market, I was like possessed, completely mindless: I heard "experts" say that Dogecoin could double, and without blinking, I invested everything; I saw others flaunting their contract profit screenshots, and couldn't resist, diving in recklessly with 20x leverage.

As a result, in less than half a year, my 180,000 had dwindled to just 30,000. My wife was shouting for a divorce, and my parents were secretly wiping their tears over the phone, afraid to say anything more for fear it would break me further.

Later, I treated the remaining 30,000 as my life-saving money, set three strict rules, and persevered for two years, turning it into a thousandfold:

1. Only trade "familiar" coins, never touch the unfamiliar
In the past, I would buy any coin I saw, chasing after whatever was popular. Now, I only focus intently on three mainstream coins. Last year, when Bitcoin dropped from 30,000 to 20,000, everyone around me was terrified and sold at a loss; I followed my rules and bought in batches—this coin I had been watching for a year, I understood its temperament, and knew this was a normal correction. Sure enough, three months later, Bitcoin rose back to 40,000, and I steadily collected my profits. No matter how crazy unfamiliar coins get, I also never reach out; I only earn within my understanding, which allows me to sleep soundly.

2. Withdraw 50% of profits first; securing gains is the real deal
When I first earned 200,000 from mainstream coins, I didn’t get carried away and transferred 100,000 to the bank on the same day. Later, when the market suddenly plummeted, everyone around me was crying for help, but because I had this 100,000 as a cushion, I felt no panic. Remember: the numbers on your account are all virtual; turning it into real cash in your pocket is what counts as real profit.

3. Never hesitate on stop-loss; capital always comes first
Now, every time I open a position, the first thing I do is set the stop-loss point; when it hits, I cut it immediately, never holding onto the hope of "it might rebound." Once, when Ethereum suddenly plummeted, I lost 50,000 but decisively stopped out, and later it dropped another 200,000. Thanks to cutting my losses quickly, I wasn't trapped and preserved my capital, which gave me the chance to make a comeback.

If you are still stumbling around blindly in the cryptocurrency world, wanting to get ashore but lacking direction—if you reach out, I will hand you the rope; let’s walk steadily together.

# 1900U Rolling to 35,000U: The Key to Making Money in Cryptocurrency is Learning Not to "Stare at the Screen"
In the past, when trading cryptocurrencies, I would stare at the screen from morning till night, my eyes bloodshot, practically staring a hole in the monitor. The more I stared, the more chaotic it became—whenever the K-line rose a bit, I couldn't help but chase it, and whenever it fell a bit, I panicked and cut my losses. After frequent operations, my 1900U principal directly shrank to 700U. Watching the numbers in my account decrease, I suddenly realized: the longer I stared at the screen, the more chaotic my emotions became, the more mistakes I made, and I ended up losing money due to "overexertion".

Later, I resolutely changed my habits: I only looked at the market twice a day, at 9 AM and 8 PM, for a maximum of half an hour each time. I set a clear trading plan, established take-profit and stop-loss levels, and immediately closed the software, never exceeding the time to stare for even a second. At first, it was really hard to adapt; my fingers would subconsciously want to open the app, so I simply handed my phone over to my family to manage, forcing myself to focus on work and fitness, deliberately shifting my attention.

After not staring at the screen, I was able to calmly judge the market, which greatly reduced emotional trading. One time I went long on ETH, entering the market at $3,000, setting a take-profit at $3,150 and a stop-loss at $2,940 in advance, closed the software, and went back to work on projects. At 8 PM, I opened it on time and saw that ETH had risen to $3,160, automatically taking profit and earning 8%. If it were before, I would have definitely been staring at every fluctuation of the K-line, and maybe panicked and closed my position when it rose by 5%, and I wouldn't have earned this profit at all.

Another time, I encountered a volatile market, with BTC bouncing back and forth between $31,000 and $32,000. A friend advised me to "trade short to earn the difference, you can make several trades in a day." But I firmly maintained my position according to my plan, not tempted by short-term fluctuations. Later, my friend indeed lost quite a bit in transaction fees due to frequent operations, while I waited a week until BTC steadily broke through $32,000, decisively entered the market, and made a profit of 12%.

Now my account has surged to 35,000U, and I have thoroughly realized: in the cryptocurrency world, staring at the screen is not "effort", it is "internal friction". Short-term fluctuations are all noise; the more you stare, the easier it is to be swayed by emotions and make impulsive decisions. Properly "letting go", shielding from distractions, allows you to see the true trend clearly, reduce unnecessary mistakes, and instead earn more steadily and abundantly.

# Is it hard to make money with altcoins? The core issue isn't a lack of funds, it's that you're not keeping up with the new rules.
Many people complain that altcoins aren't performing, constantly mentioning "lack of funds, no liquidity", but they haven't addressed the root of the problem. The real key is: the market has changed, and investors are becoming increasingly savvy. Who would still be fooled by just any story nowadays? People are much more rational and cautious than before; the old tricks of hype are no longer effective.

On the surface, it seems like there's insufficient liquidity, but digging deeper, two fatal issues are at the core:

First, there's a complete lack of innovation. Over the past two years, the vast majority of small coins lack new technology and practical value, relying entirely on "narratives" to hold up the facade. The era when one could hype things up with just talk in 2017 and 2021 is long gone! Without solid value support, who would be willing to invest real money?

Second, the valuations are ridiculously inflated. Since 2021, VCs have been crazily raising prices, and the primary market has inflated the bubble to the sky, with valuations hitting tens of billions of dollars as soon as they hit exchanges. Ordinary people who enter the market end up being the bag holders; who can withstand that?

More importantly, the market is becoming increasingly mature, and the funds are getting "smarter". Just like in the US stock market, the top 10% of projects take 90% of the funds, leaving the remaining 90% of small coins to gather dust on the sidelines. The same is true in the crypto world; the more mainstream coins attract capital, the less attention small coins receive.

Even project teams have learned their lesson: they no longer blindly pump prices to create hype because they know well—once they pump, someone will dump. Not only can they not attract "faith", but they can also easily trap themselves. The result is that many altcoins plummet right after launching, without even a decent hype cycle.

So, if you want to make money with altcoins now, you need to completely change your mindset: don't be greedy for the long term, but rather look for short-term explosive opportunities. Cash in once you make a profit, and never fall in love with a position; your vision must be sharp, and your actions must be quick! If you're slightly slow, you won't even get a taste of the soup; the current pace is that fast.

When the next easing cycle comes, the environment might improve a bit, but competition will only become fiercer. You must understand the logic, grasp the narrative, and hit the right rhythm; random buying will definitely lead to losses. If you really want to gamble on air coins, then play meme in the primary market—but make it clear in advance that this is essentially gambling, and definitely don't get carried away.

# 8 Years in the Crypto World: From Penniless to Supporting a Family: 12 Rules to Avoid Pitfalls, Helping You Save 3 Years of Detours
After 8 years of ups and downs in the crypto world, I've lost six figures in principal and stumbled upon various dark pits, only to go from being penniless to supporting my family through trading—today, I’m sharing the 12 rules forged from real money, each one encapsulating the essence of avoiding pitfalls. It’s recommended to save them; they could save your account at critical moments.

1. Capital is Lifeline: The crypto market is volatile; without capital, there’s no chance of turning the tables. Protecting your capital is essential to stay at the table long-term.
2. Greed is the Root of Loss: In the early days, chasing highs to “get rich quick” led to being trapped. Later, I learned that making steady profits is more reliable than chasing big wins; accumulating small profits can happen faster.
3. Focus Your Energy: Don’t buy a bunch of coins for “risk avoidance”; it’s easy to miss opportunities. Stay within your limits and follow trends, leaving room to handle sudden fluctuations.
4. Don’t Over-Leverage: I’ve seen too many people over-leverage and stubbornly hold onto losses, leading to even greater losses. Controlling your position and trading less is the key to steady profits.
5. Enter Steadily and Exit Quickly: Don’t impulsively chase after rising prices; wait for the right moment to enter. Don’t hesitate to sell; avoid profit loss; be decisive with stop-losses, and execute them without hope for luck.
6. Losses Have Limits: Market profits have no ceiling, but losses can be a bottomless pit. Don’t be greedy for profits that can never be fully realized; allowing losses to accumulate can wipe out all previous gains.
7. Don’t Delay Stops: Stop-losses are the last line of defense for your account. If triggered, exit immediately; hesitation will only exacerbate losses.
8. Real Profit is Cash in Hand: Regardless of long or short positions, book profits as soon as they are realized; they are illusory until you cash them in.
9. Extremes Lead to Reversals: No matter how crazy the rise, there will be corrections; no matter how bad the fall, there will be rebounds. Don’t let extreme market conditions cloud your judgment.
10. Waiting for Opportunity is Better than Blind Trading: In the early days, I always wanted to “catch every wave,” leading to significant losses from frequent trading. Later, I learned that patiently waiting for opportunities leads to steadier profits.
11. Stop-Loss is a Responsibility: You must strictly enforce stop-losses yourself; profits are gifts from the market. How much you can earn depends on opportunity; don’t force it.
12. Wealth Comes from Waiting: Truly profitable trades come from waiting, not from continuously buying and selling while fixating on the market.

The most uncontrollable aspect of the crypto world is desire; only by adhering to rules and strict execution can one go far. The details of capital planning, seizing opportunities, and controlling pace will be discussed with you slowly later.

In this market, it’s too difficult to walk alone. I’ve already stumbled through all the pitfalls and paved the way; do you want to follow along?

Last year, a fan approached me, with only 3300U left in hand, desperately wanting to turn their situation around with that little money. I didn’t provide a complex strategy, just shared three sentences. They followed my advice for 4 months, and their account directly grew to 150,000U without any liquidations in between. Today, I’m sharing these three "life-saving rules" with you without holding back; how much you comprehend and earn depends entirely on your execution ability.

First, split the funds into three parts, never gamble your life on the full account.
3300U is divided into three parts of 1100U, each with its own purpose, absolutely no "crossing over":
- Short-term trades: Make at most two trades a day, take profits when available, accept losses gracefully, do not linger in battle;
- Trend trades: If the weekly line hasn’t turned up, completely play dead, do not enter without a clear signal, better to miss than to make mistakes;
- Emergency funds: Specifically reserved to guard against "spike" liquidations, if anything happens, replenish the position on the same day to ensure you can still stay in the game.
Full account? Don’t even think about it! In the crypto world, a broken branch can grow back, but a severed root means no chance at all. Keeping the principal allows for a comeback possibility.

Second, only take a bite of the trend’s fat, during the volatile period act as a turtle retracting its head.
A volatile market is a meat grinder for retail investors, 9 out of 10 trades end in losses. My entry signal is particularly simple:
If the daily moving averages haven’t formed a bullish arrangement, stay in cash and wait, even if others are raking in profits, do not feel envious;
Only when there is a significant breakout past the previous high, confirmed by the daily closing, do I first get on board;
When profits reach 30% of the principal, immediately withdraw half to secure profits, set a 10% trailing stop for the rest, never be greedy.
The market will always have the next bus; don’t rush to the crowded doors, only take a steady ride to go far.

Third, lock in your emotions; mechanical operations last longer.
Before entering, you must write a "life and death statement," operate by rules, not feelings:
Set a hard stop loss at 3%, automatically cut the position when it hits, no hesitation, no entanglement with "it might rebound";
When profits reach 10%, pull the stop loss to the breakeven price, everything earned afterwards is a gift from the market, and losses won’t affect the principal;
Shut down the computer at 11 PM sharp every day, no matter how tempting the candlesticks are, don’t stare at them; if you can’t sleep, directly uninstall the trading app, never stay up late gambling on the market.
The more mechanical, the more boring, the less greedy, you can actually survive longer in the crypto world and earn more.

In this market, it’s too hard for one person to walk in the dark. I’ve already stepped on all the pits and paved the road, do you want to follow and steadily secure the first 1 million?

# Bringing Newcomers from a 40% Loss to Stable Profit: Making Money in Cryptocurrency Relies on Patience, Not Speed
Three years ago, when I brought Xiao Lin into the market, he was no different from most newcomers in the crypto world: seeing others' coins double made him envious, always afraid to miss out, chasing highs and cutting losses for half a month, resulting in a direct 40% shrinkage of his capital.

I told him to stop trading immediately and to engrain one principle in his heart: for small capital to survive in the crypto world, the key is not "speed," but "patience." Catching two or three major upward trends a year and steadily earning a portion of profit is enough to cover living expenses; constantly fighting with full positions is merely sending transaction fees to exchanges and serving as “chives” for market makers.

Xiao Lin once asked me with a puzzled expression: "I can earn freely in a simulated account, why do I lose in a real account?" I hit the core point directly: a simulated account can be reset infinitely, but making a mistake in a real account might lead to a total loss—this is the gap that retail investors must recognize. Many people only understand this principle after being liquidated, but by then they have already lost their chips to play.

News events are another major pitfall for beginners. Once when a certain coin had good news, Xiao Lin rushed in eagerly, and I firmly stopped him: "The market always anticipates ahead; good news being realized often leads to bad news." As a result, the next day it indeed opened high and closed low, and he managed to avoid disaster.

Understanding market rhythms is also crucial. When a decline drags on, the rebound is slow like a snail; once it accelerates and crashes, the rebound often comes quickly and fiercely. Reducing positions before holidays is an ironclad rule; I reviewed five years of historical data with him, and there was never an exception.

The methods need not be complicated; I only taught Xiao Lin two tricks: for medium to long-term, keep enough cash for swing trades, sell when the price rises, and buy when it falls; for short-term, only focus on actively traded coins with high trading volumes, watching 15-minute candlesticks and KDJ for entry and exit points. As for obscure coins and meme coins? Don't even touch them; that's not a game for retail investors.

The most crucial thing is execution: if you buy wrong, cut the loss quickly; never hold on to a losing position. As long as the capital is there, opportunities will always exist; once the capital is gone, no matter how good the market is, it has nothing to do with you.

Now, Xiao Lin not only has long since recouped his losses but has also achieved stable profits. In fact, making money in the crypto world never relies on luck—it depends on respect for market rhythms and ironclad execution. Keep these in mind, and you can at least avoid five years of detours. If you haven't found your direction yet, feel free to ask me anytime.

In the past, I walked in the dark in the crypto world alone, but now I am willing to hold the light higher—do you want to follow along and walk steadily?

The four characters of "financial freedom" took one of my fans three years to write without deviation:
In the first year, he was full of thoughts of "making quick money," losing most of his 20,000 yuan New Year's money, and at that time he wrote "liquidation";
In the second year, following my adjustments, he slowly regained his principal, writing "break even";
In the third year, he steadily built up, finally able to resign without worrying about livelihood, which was when he truly touched the edge of "freedom."

Here are some practical tips for friends who want to pay less tuition:

1. Divide the money into five parts, first ensure the base before seeking profit.
Split the principal into 5 parts, only take 1 part to enter the market each time, and stick to a 10% stop-loss; even if you make five mistakes in a row, the total loss will not exceed 10%. Once you profit 10%, take some off the table, let the profits roll in the market, and first ensure the principal "returns home"—only by being alive can you have the chance to earn more.

2. The trend is like an elevator; going against the trend is just foolishness.
Don't blindly "catch the bottom" when prices are falling; that’s just throwing money away. Get in after an upward correction, and it's easier to follow the trend. It's very simple to judge: only go long above the daily 20-day moving average, go short below, and take a break when it's sideways; don’t waste energy in choppy waters.

3. Don’t touch coins that surge wildly; they are a death knell.
Coins that multiply five times in three days should only be watched if you can monitor them second by second; otherwise, you are just catching the last baton. It may seem lively at high positions, but in reality, the main forces are placing sell orders; entering makes you a bag holder. Missing out is not regrettable, but blindly chasing is truly dangerous.

4. Three indicators are enough.
Use MACD to gauge the big trend, RSI for overbought and oversold conditions, and VPVR to find support and resistance. Don’t clutter your screen with fancy indicators; the cleaner the screen, the clearer your mind, and the more decisive your decisions.

5. Don’t add to losses; add to profits.
Supplementing a position during a downturn is just laying mines for yourself; adding to a position when prices are rising is leveraging momentum. Cut losses decisively if you are wrong; don’t stubbornly hold until you’re numb; the more you hold, the more you lose.

6. Volume and price don’t lie.
A sudden volume breakout after a period of low volume means the market is about to start; high volume without a price increase definitely means the big players are unloading, so run quickly. If you don’t understand candlesticks, just look at the volume; the histogram built by funds is the most real.

7. Daily review is more effective than random operations.
Write three lines at the end of the day: why you bought, why you sold, and how to improve next time. Stick with it for 30 days; not only can you save on tuition, but you can also earn back "interest" from experience.

It's too hard to navigate this market alone; I have already helped my fans through most of the pitfalls. If you want to take fewer detours and turn "tuition fees" into profits, feel free to chat any time.

# 3500U turnaround from 3 million loss: Surviving in the crypto world relies on these two iron rules
In the winter of 2022, BTC fell from 69,000 to 15,000. When Xiao Zhao came to me, there was only 3500U left in his account—his previous 3 million had been completely lost.

"Bro, I can't sleep all night, my heart races every time my phone buzzes, I've deleted all my social media, and my relatives are advising me not to touch crypto anymore. My girlfriend almost broke up with me." When he said this, his eyes were redder than the crashing candlestick chart.

I replied to him with just one sentence: "No matter how much you lose, it's just the beginning. Admitting defeat is the real end. If you want to leave, I won't hold you back; if you want to try again, follow my rules."

He was silent for a minute, then sent a screenshot of his account: 3500U, the last bullet.

I gave him two iron rules and told him to read them three times a day, engrave them in his bones:

1. Position control: Never go all in, no matter how tempting the market is, at most 20% position. Surviving is essential for the next candlestick; if you run out of bullets, you're completely out of the game, with no chance of a comeback.

2. Steady roll: Split the 3500U into two parts, 1750U for defense and 1750U for offense. Only trade trends that are 4-hour levels or above and that you understand, aiming for a target of 5%-10%, with a stop-loss of 3% that must be cut. No holding, no averaging down, no all-in; not a shred of luck can be allowed.

In that month, he turned himself into a robot. He got up at 7 AM every day to write trading plans, reviewed the market until midnight; if he lost 3%, he would automatically shut down and stop; if he made 8%, he would immediately take profits. Every operation was screenshot and sent to me, and I would respond with "1" for it to be considered passed.

Week 1: 3500➜5200;
Week 2: 5200➜8600;
Week 6: the account directly broke 40,000U.

He threw the profit chart into the former "cut-loss group," and the group was as quiet as a frozen market, with no one mocking him anymore.

I told him: "Trading is never about betting on the size; it's about controlling the rhythm. Most people lose, not because of their skills but because of their mindset—afraid to hold when it goes up, unwilling to cut losses when it goes down; eager to recover losses when down a bit, fantasizing about doubling when up a bit. With this mindset, no matter how good the market looks, it’s a meat grinder."

That night he treated me to drinks, and when he raised his glass, his hand never shook again.

"Bro, I found my way, and there are people behind who want to follow. Will you let them?"

I clinked glasses with him, my voice heavy: "The road has been paved; those who can hold the rules and endure loneliness, feel free to follow."

# 30 Days to Roll 1000U to 13000U! These 3 Counterintuitive Strategies Will Help You Turn Things Around
He used to be an ordinary office worker, working overtime until late at night. His salary would be spent within days, and his savings were always at zero.

Until that day, he gritted his teeth and gathered 1000U, telling himself: "Just one last try; if it doesn't work, I'll give up for good."

No one believed in him, and some even laughed at his unrealistic ambitions. But 30 days later, the number in his account shockingly changed to 13000U.

This isn't luck; it's solid methods — the three strategies I taught him. If you follow these, you might be the next to turn things around.

First Strategy: Plan Ahead, Don't Follow the Crowd
The biggest trap in the crypto world is chasing trends. When a hot topic arises, everyone rushes in, leading to high prices. He never joins the frenzy; instead, he focuses on 3-5 target coins in advance. When they're mistakenly undervalued and their trading volume is minimized, he quietly buys in; once they surge, he immediately increases his position by 30% — while others hesitate, he has already locked in profits. True opportunities always hide in quiet moments, not in the chaos of excitement.

Second Strategy: Layered Rolling, Profits Generate Profits
He divided his 1000U into three parts: one for trends, one for short-term trades, and one reserved as backup. The key is that every time he profits, he only uses the profits to open the next trade, keeping the principal intact. It seems slow, but it's actually very steady — compound interest is never about quick profits; it's built gradually through discipline and time.

Third Strategy: Discipline First, Emotions Second
He set strict rules for himself: a maximum of two trades per day, with pre-set take-profit and stop-loss levels for each trade. No matter how volatile the market is, he never changes his orders on the fly. Is the market unclear? He simply closes the software and waits without holding any positions; once he sees a clear signal, he acts decisively without procrastination. It's not that he is technically superior; it's that he can control his own impulses. Later, he told me: "Making money isn't hard; the hard part is not acting recklessly."

A month later, he truly changed — not just because his account rose from 1000U to 13000U, but more importantly, his mindset towards the market changed. He finally understood: the crypto market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who can maintain their rhythm and control their emotions.

In this market, it’s really hard for one person to navigate in the dark, but I have laid out practical methods here, and the path is paved. Do you want to follow it?

# 1200U rolled to 38,000U: The core of making money in the cryptocurrency world, staying alive is more important than making quick profits
I have seen too many friends with small capital, holding a few hundred to a thousand U, always wanting to "double it in one go," but within half a month, they lose all and exit. But one cryptocurrency beginner I guided started with 1200U and grew it to 25,000U in 4 months, and now their account is stable at over 38,000U, without encountering any major issues throughout. This isn't luck; it's the core method I discovered from 8000U to achieve stable returns, and I'm sharing it with you today:

First rule: Divide the capital into three parts, staying alive allows you to earn
Split 1200U into three portions of 400U:
The first portion is for day trading, focusing on just one trade a day; once the target is reached, secure the profit without lingering;
The second portion is for swing trading, avoiding chasing small fluctuations, waiting for clear trends to emerge before acting, aiming for profit margins of over 10%;
The third portion is kept as a reserve, never touching it—this is your lifeline during poor market conditions. Most people fail because they act impulsively without a backup plan. Remember: staying alive is the first step to making a comeback.

Second rule: Only take advantage of major trends; acting randomly is like giving away money
The market spends 80% of its time in consolidation, and frequently opening trades just means paying fees to the platform. When there’s no market activity, be patient. For instance, if a core asset consolidates for over 3 days, close the software; wait for it to break below the consolidation range or stabilize above key moving averages, and then enter when the trend is clear. Furthermore, if profits exceed 20% of the principal, withdraw 30% to secure gains— I often tell beginners, "Stay inactive most of the time, and when you do act, ensure it’s a stable profit," which is much more reliable than trading every day.

Third rule: Use rules to manage emotions, don’t rely on gut feelings when placing orders
Set three strict rules in advance:
1. Set a stop loss at 2%, and you must cut losses regardless of any subsequent rebound;
2. When profits exceed 4%, reduce the position by half, allowing the remaining profits to run;
3. Absolutely do not add to a losing position, don’t think about “lowering the average price.”

You don’t need to make the right judgment every time, but execution must be precise—the highest level of making money is letting rules manage your emotions, avoiding letting greed or panic disrupt your rhythm.

In fact, small capital has never been the problem; the issue is always thinking about “getting rich overnight.” Turning 1200U into 38,000U relies not on gambling but on risk control and waiting for opportunities. If you are still losing sleep over the fluctuations of a few hundred U and don’t know how to allocate capital or identify trends, I would be happy to slowly share this method with you.

Sometimes, it just takes understanding “how to be stable” rather than “how to be quick” to avoid three years of detours.

# Don't have less than 1000U in capital? Don't place orders recklessly! Transforming 600U into 20,000U relies on these 3 life-saving principles.
Not having reached 1000U yet? Don't rush to hit the order button, let me tell you some honest advice! The cryptocurrency market is not a gambling casino; it’s a battlefield of strategies— the less capital you have, the more you need to be steady and careful, like an old hunter waiting for the right opportunity.
Unexpectedly, a month later, his account directly broke 6000U; after three months, it even soared to 20,000U, without a single liquidation throughout the process! Some say this is just good luck? It’s really not! It’s all about solid discipline, and these three “life-saving and profit-making” principles helped him go from 600U to where he is now:

First Principle: Divide capital into three parts, always leave a way out.
Directly split 600U into three parts, not a single cent can be misallocated: 200U for day trading, only focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum, cashing out decisively when there’s a 3%-5% fluctuation, never getting attached to a position; 200U for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before acting, holding positions for 3-5 days for stability; keep the remaining 200U tightly held, not touching it even in extreme market conditions—this is your foundation for a comeback! Those who throw all their capital into the market easily become anxious when prices surge or drop, and they cannot go far. Real winners understand the importance of keeping part of their capital off the market and leaving themselves an exit.

Second Principle: Follow trends, don’t get stuck in sideways fluctuations.
The market spends 80% of the time in sideways trading, frequent trading is just giving the platform transaction fees. Wait patiently without a signal, but act decisively when there is one; if profits reach 12%, withdraw half to secure your gains, being practical is the hard truth. The rhythm of a master is always "no action unless certain, when acting, success is guaranteed," and during the time his account doubled, he was steadily cashing in, not greedy for even a bit more.

Third Principle: Prioritize rules, control the urge to operate recklessly.
Set a hard stop-loss at 2% for each trade, cut losses decisively at the point, never rely on a rebound; if profits exceed 4%, reduce the position by half, letting the remaining profits run naturally; never add to a losing position, don’t let emotions drag you down. You don’t have to pinpoint the market every time, but you must adhere to the rules every time. Making money in the cryptocurrency market essentially relies on a system that controls those hands that always want to operate recklessly.

Remember, having little capital is not frightening; what’s frightening is always thinking about “making a comeback in one go.” Transforming 600U into 20,000U relies not on luck but on rules, patience, and ironclad discipline. You may have previously wandered in the cryptocurrency world alone in the dark, but now I lay these solid experiences here; are you willing to follow the rules and steadily make money?

# From losing 850,000 to netting 300,000: Surviving in the crypto world relies entirely on "following the rules"
Last year's crash completely knocked me down to the bottom——I lost my entire 850,000 principal.

I smashed my phone against the wall, the cracks in the screen resembling the wounds on my heart; all trading apps were deleted completely, and I hid for a whole month, too afraid to respond to my friends' messages, even the mention of "crypto" made me feel suffocated. Staring at the empty account page, only one thought remained in my mind: I will never touch this murky water again.

But at night, tossing and turning, that stubborn spirit in my heart kept stirring.

At the beginning of this year, with only 3,000 U left in my pocket, I gritted my teeth and told myself: just one last time, let’s try again.

There are no earth-shattering secrets, just relying on the three words "following the rules" to endure.

Starting from 2,200 U, I tightly controlled my positions——no matter how good the market looks, I would never exceed 40% in positions, the remaining money is the bottom line, and I would never touch it; stop-loss was never vague, if it fell below the preset line, I would cut immediately, never relying on hoping for a rebound; I was even less greedy in chasing peaks or blindly bottom-fishing, if the market was good, I would closely follow strong coins and the rhythm, and if the market was poor, I would decisively observe without stubbornly holding on.

Once I caught the right opportunity, I made 5,000 U in ten minutes, watching the account numbers jump wildly, I didn’t get carried away——from the money earned, I kept 30% for continued operations, and withdrew 70% directly for safety.

Just this little bit of rolling, not only did I earn back the 500,000 I lost before, but in the end, I also made an additional 300,000.

Now I finally understand completely: the crypto world is never about who makes money fast, but about who can survive the longest. Those seemingly "rigid" rules, such as strictly controlling positions, decisively cutting losses, and not being greedy or anxious, are what protect you through the storms.

This is only said to those willing to listen patiently——keeping your own rules is more important than anything else.

# 1200U rolled to 800,000U: The core of making money in the crypto world is not about being 'fast' but about being 'steady'
I never force people into the crypto world; I only talk to those who are willing to settle down and have a meaningful conversation—after all, the journey from 1200U to 800,000U, I haven't really done hundreds of trades, making it hard to truly understand the nuances. But some heartfelt words need to be said in advance: only by seeing through 'stability is more important than speed' can one quickly overcome the hurdle of 'earning and then losing'.

In my early years, I also crazily chased hundred-fold coins, but later I understood: earning small amounts temporarily is just 'safekeeping'; if you can't hold on, you'll eventually have to give it back to the market. In fact, the core that truly allowed me to slowly roll from 1200U was never about how much I could earn in a single trade, but rather I strictly adhered to one bottom line: absolutely no significant drawdown in my account. If the account drops by 50%, it requires doubling to break even; this is the most basic calculation. Occasional profits don't count as winning; being able to lock in profits and control drawdowns is the key transformation from being a 'retail investor' to becoming someone who can 'consistently make money'.

Buffett said, 'Only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked'; the crypto world is the same—when the market adjusts, can your account withstand it? One test reveals whether it's true skill or just self-deception relying on favorable conditions. Don't be vain; correcting flaws is not shameful; being content with 'earning and then losing' is truly shameful.

The hardest part of controlling drawdowns is the human nature of 'fear of missing out'—always wanting to seize every opportunity. However, my ability to roll to 800,000U is precisely because I dare to give up 90% of opportunities that don't belong to me. Constantly asking 'who is the hundred-fold coin' reflects the most basic 'trading mentality'; a step up from that is 'pattern thinking', but what I rely on is 'account thinking'—focusing on the overall rise and fall of the account rather than the frenzy of a single coin.

Human nature always fears missing out, not being trapped; thinking 'missing the rise is a loss', in order to avoid missing out, one would rather be trapped, repeatedly trying to get out, exhausting mental energy. This is the 'human nature illness' of crypto people, and the core of my steady rolling is three words: kill human nature. Only by getting rid of greed can one truly change their fate.

Finally, I give you Laozi's saying: 'The reverse is the movement of the Dao; the weak is the use of the Dao.' I have seized several key opportunities on ETH relying on these ten words: when a strong coin suddenly shows weakness, decisively buy when it pulls back to the right point; when a weak coin stubbornly holds on without volume rebounding, resolutely sell, and if it really reverses, then add appropriately.

# Is your principal less than 1500U? Don't go all in! 80,000 rebound relies on these 3 pocket rules
Is your principal less than 1500U? Don't rush in just yet, let me give you some real advice! Having little money is never the original sin; blindly messing around is the real fatal injury. Treating the crypto market like a casino will likely end in zero. One of my last students with a small amount of capital started with 1800U and was trembling while placing orders. I told him: 'Treat 1800 as if it were 1.8 million; slow is fast.' To my surprise, 30 days later, his account surged to 12,000; after 90 days, it directly rolled to 80,000, with zero liquidation throughout. This was not based on luck, but on three practical iron rules, which I have organized today into a 'pocket version' to give to you directly.

First, divide the funds into three portions, always leave a way out.
Split 1500U into three parts; not a single cent can be misallocated:
500U for intraday trading, focusing only on Bitcoin and Ethereum, decisively taking profits with a 3%-5% fluctuation, never lingering in battles;
500U for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before entering the market, holding positions for 3-5 days for stability;
Leave the remaining 500U untouched, no matter how extreme the market is—this is your capital for recovery.
I've seen too many people rush in with a few thousand U, panicking when it rises and falls, and they simply can't last. Those who can truly win all understand the importance of keeping some money outside, giving themselves confidence.

Second, only follow the trend, don’t get exhausted in fluctuations.
The market is mostly sideways, frustrating traders, and frequent trading just sends fees to the platform. Wait patiently for clear signals; act decisively when there is a signal; take out half of your profits when you earn 12%, securing profits feels safe. The rhythm of experts is always: do nothing if there is no movement, but when moving, there is gain. I watched as his account doubled; I didn't chase highs or become impatient, but steadily followed the trend.

Third, rules first, control the urge to mess around.
Each trade's stop loss must not exceed 2% of the principal; cut losses decisively when the time comes, don’t drag things out;
When profits exceed 4%, reduce half of the position first, and let the remaining profits run naturally;
Never add to your position when losing money, don't let emotions lead you off course.
You don't have to read the market correctly every time, but you must adhere to the rules every time. Making money fundamentally relies on the method to control that urge to mess around.

Remember, having little principal is not scary; what’s scary is always thinking about 'doubling your money in one go.' Rolling from 1500U to 80,000U relies not on luck, but on rules, patience, and discipline. If you don't know how to find clear entry signals, you can also pay more attention to my future practical sharing~

# Crypto Circle 'Sweeping Monk' Sister Li: 100,000 U to 38 million, all thanks to 6 phrases of folk wisdom
The quietest fan in our group is Sister Li from Shenyang, 35 years old, and she speaks less than anyone. She joined the group in March 2024 and has never said a word of nonsense, only sending a screenshot: 100,000 U principal, with a 9-year profit curve rising from the foot of the mountain directly to 38 million.

Later I found out that she entered the market in 2015—never opened a contract, never put all her chips on a 'shitcoin,' and never asked me for any inside information. After much persuasion, I got her to share her methods; she threw me six phrases of 'folk wisdom,' saying they were all derived from the K-line, and I could use them however I wanted, as she didn't write anything down.

I organized them for everyone to copy:
1. Rapid rise, slow fall = buying: After a big surge, don’t panic if it hesitates and falls back; the main force is quietly moving chips. Volume shrinks but doesn’t crash, gently like a scumbag, falling just enough to make you itchy but not desperate;
2. Rapid drop, weak rebound = jumping off: A big bearish candle's rebound can't surpass halfway; don't fantasize about a V-shaped reversal. If it can't return to the 20-day line in three days, cut your losses—you're just helping someone carry luggage; the car has already left;
3. High volume is not a top, low volume is: At high levels, retail investors shout 'top,' while the main force continues to pull; the real top is when no one speaks, volume shrinks colder than an ex's heart, and take profits in batches;
4. The bottom needs three votes: The first rebound is 'Don’t go, fellow villager,' the second is 'Trust me again,' and the third is 'True love.' If there are three weeks of increasing volume without new lows, and it breaks the neckline, then enter;
5. Patterns are human hearts, volume is a heartbeat: Shrinking volume with a downward trend = heartbeat failure, increasing volume with a sharp drop = sudden stop, gentle increase in volume = recovery. Treat the 60-day average volume as a blood pressure monitor; break the line before discussing long or short positions;
6. The highest realm is empty: Not feeling itchy with an empty position, not getting jealous when seeing others become rich. She takes walks and buys groceries every day; the market comes and goes as it pleases, and rent is collected monthly; every month she takes 20% profit to invest in USDC financial products, and the rest is called living money.

Now, Sister Li operates two to three times a month, spending the rest of her time lurking and only posting snowy scenes of Shenyang, captioned with, 'No signal today, continue collecting rent.' When newcomers ask about her win rate, she replies, 'I don’t calculate win rates, I only count whether the rent has arrived.'

Those who can survive and make money in the crypto circle are never the ones who rush; they are the ones who dare to wait and dare to stay empty. Are you ready?
