Since the day I stepped into the cryptocurrency circle, my life has felt like being caught in an endless storm. The first thing I do every day when I open my eyes is to grab my phone and check the market trends of mainstream assets, my heart racing along with the K-line fluctuations—excited when it rises to the point of insomnia, anxious to the point of biting my nails when it falls; these emotions are like shadows that I can't shake off.

When I first entered the market, like everyone else, I held the dream of 'financial freedom' and knew nothing about the ruthlessness of the market. On the day of my first liquidation, staring at the 'insufficient margin' message on the screen, I was completely bewildered—those were my savings accumulated over half a year, just gone like that. The feeling of helplessness made me want to delete the app and walk away, but that stubbornness deep down kicked in: if others can make money, why can't I?

Later, I locked myself in my room and frantically absorbed indicator knowledge, from MA moving averages to RSI, from candlestick patterns to on-chain data, reviewing historical market trends until dawn every day. I took notes in three notebooks, drew hundreds of charts, and broke down each losing trade into 'entry reasons, stop-loss settings, mistakes' to slowly grasp the market's temperament.

In my cryptocurrency career, there have been two experiences that felt like an 'adult ceremony,' transforming me from a naive beginner into someone who understands respect:

Once during the 2018 bear market, the assets in my hands dropped by 70%, and my account balance was shrinking every day. During that time, I had no interest in anything, even doubting whether I had chosen the wrong path. But I gritted my teeth and didn't sell at a loss; instead, I began to study the 'Bear Market Survival Rules'—keeping enough stablecoins, only taking 20% positions to buy in batches, and I stubbornly held on until the bull market turned things around.

Another time was the '519' crash in 2021, when the market dropped by 30% in half a day, and there were messages of panic selling everywhere in the community. I managed to suppress my anxiety, opened up on-chain data to observe whale movements, and found that large funds were not fleeing but were quietly accumulating. So, I didn't follow the crowd blindly. Later, when the market rebounded, not only did I not incur losses, but I also managed to buy a wave of low-priced chips. It was from that time that I completely understood: opportunities hide in panic, and risks hide in madness.

When my trading profits could steadily cover my daily expenses, I decisively quit my job and became a full-time trader. At first, it was incredibly enjoyable—I didn't have to squeeze into the subway, didn't have to watch my boss's face; I could trade whenever I wanted, like a bird out of a cage.

But the thrill didn't last long before loneliness knocked on my door. In the past, I could chat with colleagues at work, but now I'm staring at the computer screen all day, with no one to talk to. When the market fluctuates greatly, I feel anxious inside, but there's no one to confide in; when I want to share my earnings, I can't find anyone to call even after flipping through my contacts. Slowly, I realized that the freedom of full-time trading comes at the cost of loneliness.

A few years ago, I loved to post market analysis in my friend circle, saying which asset had opportunities today, reminding to stop losses tomorrow. But later I kept quiet because something happened once— a friend heard me mention a certain asset, added 5x leverage without doing any homework, and ended up getting liquidated. Although he didn't blame me, I felt particularly upset inside.

The essence of the cryptocurrency world is a game of chance; behind the transfer of wealth, there are always people who have to foot the bill. If I casually give signals, what if someone blindly follows and leverages their investments, ending up with a total loss? Wouldn't I become an 'accomplice'? Now when someone asks me 'What should I buy?', I can only advise them: 'First learn the basics; understand it yourself before taking action. Don't rely on others to make money.'

After 8 years of ups and downs, I have developed my own trading system, and the core is summed up in one sentence: Don't chase high profits, only seek stable gains. Now my trading win rate is stable at over 70%, with single profits possibly being just 5%-15%, not much, but it's stable.

For example, when I make a trade now, I will definitely set two points: stop loss at 5%, take profit at 10%; I execute when the point is reached, never being greedy; I always control my position to within 50%, keeping half the bullets to respond to unexpected situations; I only make 3-5 trades a week, not frequently. Although I have never experienced the excitement of 'doubling in one day,' the account balance has been slowly rising, and that sense of stability is stronger than anything else.

The road in the cryptocurrency world is indeed lonely; I have to bear the ups and downs myself. But it also hides infinite possibilities—as long as you are willing to spend time learning, be patient, and stick to the rules, you will always find your own rhythm for making money. Lastly, I want to say: The market is always smarter than us; the more respect we have, the more chances we have to survive. May we all stay steady in the storm and gradually earn steady money.
