Back in 2018, I was living in a small rental in Shanghai, convinced I’d cracked the code to wealth when my ¥400,000 Bitcoin investment soared to ¥4 million. But three days later, after a brutal market crash, only ¥700,000 remained. That Christmas Eve, I finally realized the hard truth — “holding out for a rebound” is just another way to lose everything.
After eight years of painful lessons and wiped-out accounts, I’ve forged 3 unbreakable rules that took me from constant losses to holding millions.

1. Cap Leverage at 3x — Say No to Get-Rich-Quick Illusions
I once traded Ethereum with 20x leverage, making ¥500,000 in a single day. That rush made me reckless.
During the infamous “9·24” crash in 2021, I lost ¥800,000 in two hours — and watched my account vanish.
That’s when I learned: leverage is dynamite, and if you play too close, it blows up your future.
Now my rule is ironclad: never exceed 3x leverage, and no single coin should take more than 5% of total funds.
Protecting capital comes before chasing excitement.

2. 85% in Blue Chips — Build a Foundation for Survival
I once went all-in on altcoins with ¥300,000, watched it grow to ¥1.8 million, refused to sell — and then saw it collapse to $0.001.
That was my wake-up call.
Today, I structure my portfolio like this:
85% in Bitcoin and Ethereum (for stability)
15% spare funds for altcoin speculation
No more chasing fantasies of overnight fortune — long-term survival always beats short-term greed.

3. 8% Hard Stop-Loss — Make Discipline Instinctive
When Bitcoin once plunged 15%, I refused to cut losses — and lost half of my house down payment.
Now, every trade I make carries a strict 8% stop-loss.
Once it hits, I exit immediately, no hesitation.
In crypto, opportunities never run out — but without capital, you can’t seize a single one.

From a reckless gambler to a strategic hunter, these three principles became my lifeline in the crypto battlefield.
If you’re still struggling through market chaos, try following these rules — because in crypto, staying alive is the first step to getting rich. 💡
