I personally helped him grow from 1400U to 54,000U, but in the end, I had to block him.
It sounds like a plot twist, but this incident made me completely understand — the 'turnaround' in the crypto world is never about how much money you can earn, but whether you can change your gambling mindset.
When he first came to me, he was a typical newbie: scared of losses, yet still wanting to turn things around. His account was down to 1400U, he couldn't sleep all day because of anxiety, saying, 'Bro, if I lose again, I’m quitting the circle.' I was all too familiar with that state of being anxious, scared, and unwilling to give up.
I told him to only use 10% of his funds to build a position on the first day. He got anxious, saying, 'What can I earn like this?' I smiled and said, 'You’re not here to gamble, you’re here to turn things around.' He reluctantly followed my advice. Three days later, the account made a profit of 36%. I told him to immediately separate the profit and continue to roll with the original position, letting 'profits generate profits'. This was the first step of rolling positions.
In the following days, we were almost inseparable. Whenever the market fluctuated, he would come to me for analysis. When successful, he only touched the profits, not the principal; when mistakes happened, we would review until three in the morning together. In that state, he was like a machine, executing discipline at every step. The account rose from 1400U all the way to 1900, 5200, 8700... so fast that even I was surprised.
But what people fear the most is starting to 'float'.
On the 28th day, he asked me, 'Bro, can I start bringing people along now?'
I didn't say anything. At that moment, I knew the risk had arrived.
Sure enough, on the 34th day, he heavily invested in a meme coin without consulting me, and ended up losing 43% overnight. I asked him why. He said, 'I wanted to test my own logic.' That tone was both familiar and dangerous. The gambler's mindset was back. Two days later, I blocked him. Not because he lost, but because he forgot the most important lesson — turning around isn’t about one-time windfalls, but countless steady efforts.
It’s difficult to grow from 1400U to 54,000U, but it’s even harder to keep that money safe. The crypto world is never short of people who can make money; what’s lacking are those who can maintain their original intentions and execute at a steady pace.
True turnaround isn’t about doubling the account; it’s about stabilizing the mindset.
How much principal you have doesn’t matter; what matters is whether you can control your hands, stabilize your heart, and stop gambling.
Only when you learn to control yourself will the market begin to reward you.
