That year after FTX returned to zero, starting anew
When the sky doesn't discuss profound strategies, and doesn't talk about a hundredfold myth, I just want to tell you: when everything returns to zero, how an ordinary person can find their rhythm again in the simplest way. 1. Bitter Winter: 800U tuition, and the frozen winter. In the winter of 2022, when the thunder of FTX came, I was working the night shift at a convenience store. The reminder on my phone screen saying 'withdrawals paused' was as cold as the steam from the cup of instant noodles in my hand. 800U — that was all my savings after eating instant noodles for half a year and standing at the counter for eight hours every night. At that moment, I didn't cry, nor did I think about 'making a big bet' to turn things around.
The core battleground of the next bull market may no longer be how much Bitcoin has risen.
Recently, people keep asking me: 'Is the bull market over?' And my answer is: perhaps the 'bull market' we once understood has quietly changed. While most people are still debating whether 'now is a bull or bear market', my keen-sensed institutional friends have stopped only focusing on the fluctuations of the K-line. What they are more concerned with are the ongoing, irreversible structural migrations, and one key vein among them points to a field that is both familiar and brand new to us. 1. The new definition of a bull market: from emotional speculation to value on-chain. In the last bull market, we chased MEME, speculative concepts, and embraced narratives.
When the market plunges, smart money is quietly flowing here
Today, I want to talk to you about: How to see the true flow of funds when most people only see the waterfall. 1. Chaos is a ladder: Why has the traditional crisis become an opportunity for crypto? The U.S. government shutdown has set a record, and the debt deadlock continues. These news seem distant, but they directly affect the nerve of global capital. Historical validation: Whenever there is a crack in the traditional financial system, some funds quietly seek a more transparent and autonomous habitat. This is not just talk. We have observed: The issuance of stablecoins has increased against the trend during recent market fluctuations;
Today, I want to share with you these three 'iron rules' that will turn him around, without reservation. 1. Diversification: Your funds are not bets, they are soldiers He divided 3600U into three parts, each 1200U, each with a mission: First part: Short-term scout At most two attacks per day, rest after one loss. The purpose of this rule is not to make money, but to 'sense the market temperature'. Second part: Trend sniper Only focus on mainstream assets weekly, no bullish arrangement then stay in cash and observe. Only after the trading volume breaks the previous high and closes confirmed, use 30% of the position to test the waters.
From Retail Investor to Hunter: How I Achieved Asset Rotation with the Three Principles of 'Wait, Steady, Ask'
Today we won't talk about the myth of getting rich quickly, nor will we mention the hundredfold passwords; I just want to share with you a core truth: in this market, those who survive the longest do so not because they can charge ahead, but because they can wait. 1. New coin listing: Let the bullets fly for a while. Every time a new coin is listed, the community is filled with FOMO, as if missing today means missing a lifetime. But my experience is: in the three days before listing, just watch and don't act. Why? Because new coins are like freshly baked porcelain—looking tempting, but can burn your hands at the slightest touch. I will wait for three signals to appear simultaneously: Three-day price box formation: the price no longer jumps up and down but forms a clear range;
How I went from 'roller coaster' to 'steady income': three things about taking profit that no one told you.
Today we won't discuss metaphysics, we won't teach you how to escape the top, we will only talk about a heart-wrenching fact: in this market, those who can buy are apprentices, and those who can sell are masters. If you often jump back and forth between 'selling too early' and 'profit retracement', this note might give you a calm exit. 1. The essence of taking profit: it's not about predicting the peak, but about managing your mind. Too many people treat taking profit as a 'technical task', but in fact, it is a 'psychological battle'. It took me three years to understand: true profit-taking is about finding that balance between profit and risk that allows you to sleep at night.
A 'Crash-Proof Manual' for New Traders: How I Survived with a 6% Position Over Three Years
Hello everyone, I am the conservative player who always advises you to 'bet less' when the market is crazy. Today we won't talk about getting rich quickly, nor will we discuss miracles; we'll share the simplest truth: in this market, surviving longer is more important than earning more. If you have ever found yourself sweating while staring at the screen late at night, unable to resist 'betting again' after a loss, then this note may help you regain your calm. 1. Position management: your 'lifeline', not a 'sprint line' I have seen too many people treat their trading accounts like a gambling table, forgetting that we are here to make money, not to seek thrills.
The Hidden Battle at Bitcoin's $100,000 Threshold: How Should We Play When 'American Selling Pressure' Meets 'Asian Silence'?
I am the one who always pours cold water during market euphoria and looks for opportunities when others panic. Today, no anxiety, no predictions of ups and downs, I just want to chat with you: What is smart money doing when on-chain data severely diverges from market sentiment? 1. Surface calm, but secretly turbulent: The current market's 'split personality'. Bitcoin is hovering around $110,000, like a respectable gentleman, appearing calm, but underneath there are already turbulent currents. The core contradiction is: Americans are selling, Asians are watching, while Europeans are hesitating. Several key signals are worth pondering:
From liquidated retail investors to rolling position hunters
Hello everyone, I am the contrarian hunter who silently opens positions during the nights of plummeting prices. Today, we won't talk about get-rich-quick myths, nor teach wealth codes, but share a core fact: 90% of losses in this market stem from the same action, making the wrong decision at the wrong time with the wrong position. If you have ever felt anxious about floating profits or stubbornly held on during a crash, then this article may help open another door for you. 1. Why do you always experience 'buying and the price drops, selling and the price rises'? The market is like a cunning opponent, it excels at exploiting human weaknesses: It rose by 10%, fearing profit loss, you hurried to close the position, resulting in missing out on the subsequent 100% increase;
From a monthly salary of 5,000 to a million dollars, the survival rules I learned after 'dying' three times in the cryptocurrency world.
Hello everyone, I am an old investor who has 'died' three times in the cryptocurrency world and crawled out of the grave myself. Today, I won't talk about inspirational quotes or paint big visions; I just want to chat with you about how ordinary people can survive in this market where 90% lose money and still make a living. Chapter One: The 'Investment Belief' of the First Generation of Investors In 2017, I had a monthly salary of 5500, believed in the legend of 'one coin, one young model,' and gritted my teeth to invest in EOS every month. Result? Three years later, I understood what it means to 'think you are planting trees, but in fact, you are filling pits.' First lesson: insisting on the wrong target is called self-touching.
After eight years of watching the market and ending up with three white hairs, I have summarized the 'Eight Laws of Survival' that trading experts absolutely do not share.
Hello everyone, I am the crypto veteran who laughs in a bull market and loses sleep in a bear market. Today we won't discuss K-line mysticism or teach hundredfold passwords, let's talk about some truths that can help you survive in this chaotic market and continuously make money through fundamental disciplines. 1. When trapped, your first reaction determines the outcome. Old hands in the crypto circle have all been trapped, but newcomers are always on the road to being beaten. Remember one thing: 'Supplementing is for survival, increasing positions is for death.' The position is trapped, and the supplement is the risk margin, not a beautiful fantasy. If you are always thinking, 'If it drops a bit more, I will fully invest,' the market will always give you a lesson in liquidity exhaustion.
If you only have 10U left in your pocket, how can you make a comeback in Web3?
Hello everyone, I am your crypto old friend, a wild analyst who has rolled in the market, blown up positions, and clawed my way out. Today we won't discuss metaphysics or shout out trades; let's talk about something heart-wrenching yet realistic: if you have only 10 dollars left, don't laugh, I mean around 10U, can you still survive in this circle and even turn the tables? My answer is: Yes, but the approach must be right, and the mindset must be tough. 1. Start: 10U is not money; it's a 'spark'. Many people think that 10U is not worth as much as a cup of milk tea, but in Web3, it is a seed. You don't have to rush into the market; first ensure that this amount of money is a loss you can fully afford, even if it means doing odd jobs, completing tasks, or skipping a meal to earn it.
Stop being a chive in the crypto space! With this "position splitting technique", I turned 80,000 into a six-figure sum in 3 months
Every time the market heats up, the crypto space gets crowded with people wanting to "pick up money". Some come in with the fantasy that "buying the dip will make them rich", while others blindly operate based on so-called "insider information". The result? Nine out of ten lose money, and the one remaining is still on the road to breaking even. To be honest, the crypto space has never been an ATM for ordinary people, but rather a "field of chives" for inexperienced novices! Today, I'm not holding back. As an old hand who has been navigating the crypto world for 7 years, I’m going to show you my ultimate "position splitting technique". This is not some folk remedy; it’s the solid method I verified in practice with SOL in 2023, going from 80,000 to 1,000,000, all supported by this logic. The key is, top players never discuss this in public, after all, who wants to spread their money-making secrets everywhere?
I rely on this set of 'foolproof methods' to make consistent profits in the crypto world, bidding farewell to the life of a retail investor!
Don't trust those flashy short-term strategies anymore! After 8 years in the industry, I've seen too many brothers rushing into the crypto circle with the dream of 'getting rich overnight', only to either chase the highs and get stuck at the peak or gamble everything and end up eating instant noodles in the dark. Today, I'm not holding back; I'm revealing all my 'foolproof methods' that I keep hidden. There's no advanced theory, just practical summaries of the 'three prohibitions and six principles'. Follow them, and you can avoid 90% of the detours! Let me share something from the bottom of my heart: In the crypto market, those who can truly achieve long-term results are never the 'smart people' who are fixated on the charts and chase highs or lows, but rather the 'foolish people' who understand the rules and control risks. These three rules are life-saving principles I've extracted from countless losses, so make sure to remember them!
From Liquidation to Lying Down to Earn: My Crypto Trading Survival Guide Earned Through 10 Blood Losses
Stop telling me 'high risk, high reward'! As someone who has been in the crypto space for 5 years and has faced liquidation enough times to fill two mahjong tables, the phrase I want to curse the most is this one—those who tell you this likely have never experienced the despair of waking up at 3 AM to find their account cleared, nor have they tasted the joy of tripling their money only to be rubbed into the ground by the market makers! To be honest, in the first three years, I was purely a 'living Lei Feng' in the crypto space, staying up late every day chasing news and monitoring the market. Whenever someone said a coin was about to take off, I would rush in; when the market makers released some good news, I believed it. In the end, I didn't make any money and instead contributed a lot in transaction fees to the exchanges. It wasn't until my tenth liquidation that I slammed my keyboard and realized: the more anxious you are in crypto trading, the more you lose; the more 'effort' you put in, the more you get cut. The real masters of making money are quietly 'lying down to earn'!
Starting with 100U, I rely on these 3 iron rules to stand firm in the market
Don't ask 'Can I trade with a small principal?' anymore! When I only have 100U left in my account, I don't panic; instead, I feel that the real training has just begun. After all, I've seen too many people lose their 10,000U to just a few cents, and I've also seen tough characters roll their way up from 100U. The difference is never about how much principal you have, but whether you have the ability to 'survive.' As an old hand who has been through the ups and downs of this market for many years, I have long passed the fantasy period of 'doubling my money by luck.' Especially at the point where I only have 100U left, every operation must be as careful as walking on a tightrope, allowing for no hint of aggression or impulse. Here are 3 practical tips for beginners, all lessons learned with real money, to help you avoid taking 3 extra years of detours.
Stop going all in! The gradual operation method used by veterans helps you lose half less and gain more.
Have you ever experienced such bloody moments? With your eyes closed, the market reverses immediately, and your account shines green; or you hesitate for a long time, not daring to enter the market, only to watch it take off, slapping your thigh and cursing yourself for missing out? To be honest, in the crypto market, it’s not enough to just be bold; you need a hard logic of 'survival + profit,' and the strategy of gradual operation is the 'safety net' I want to recommend to newbies after 8 years of ups and downs! First, let’s clarify for the new friends: what is gradual operation? Simply put, it means not putting all your eggs in one basket. You split your funds into several portions and build positions, increase, or decrease them over multiple instances. This operation can be quick or slow; you can complete it in a day or extend it over several weeks. The core idea is not to 'bet life and death' with the market.
From losing hundreds of thousands to leaving with eight figures: The iron rules of crypto trading that I have figured out, saving you 3 years of detours if you read this.
In the early days of the crypto space, I was just a pure 'sucker'—full of enthusiasm entering the market, and ended up operating like a gambler, losing hundreds of thousands in less than half a year, wiping out most of the savings I had accumulated from my previous startup. At that time, my wife was giving me the cold shoulder every day, saying I was crazy to get involved with this stuff. Looking back now, I really should have been scolded! I estimate that many friends are now like I was back in the day, either chasing the market and getting clearly cut, or holding a bunch of coins and unable to sleep, always feeling like they are about to go to zero at any moment. Today, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you; this is all practical experience I summarized after falling countless times, especially the part about the trading process. I suggest you save this and watch it repeatedly; it's 100 times more reliable than following the so-called 'masters' for signals!
From 200,000 to 10,000! The stop-loss iron rules I gained through 3 liquidations, read this to avoid 3 years of detours
A few days ago, I saw a brother's complaint in the community, saying that he went from 100,000 to 1,000,000, but as a result of one 'wait a bit longer' order, he returned to square one overnight. The comments section was full of lamentations, with 90% of them being contract players venting their frustrations. Some said, 'I liquidate more often than I drink water,' while others cursed themselves for 'not setting stop losses.' As an analyst who has been navigating the crypto space for 5 years and has experienced liquidation 3 times before figuring out the ropes, I understand this feeling all too well! It's not that we have bad luck, nor is the market deliberately targeting anyone; it's that 90% of people have stepped into the most fatal pitfall from the very beginning and simply do not set stop losses! Today, I will share with you the stop-loss secrets that I learned through real money, all practical tips that can save beginners and help veterans level up!
