Turning 20,000 Around: A Blood and Tears Guide from an Old Crypto Veteran
I will always remember that late night when Luna's K-line plummeted to zero, like a sharp blade piercing through my phone screen, turning 100,000 in capital into a three-digit remnant in just 48 hours.
After sitting paralyzed on the edge of the rooftop and finishing a whole pack of cigarettes, I wiped my tears and used the remaining 20,000 to start my path to redemption. This is the practical experience bought with real money:
1. Stop the bleeding before rebuilding
Open the trading history and review each transaction, setting screenshots of the liquidation orders as my phone wallpaper. Recite "Capital is a warrior's life" three times every day at morning, noon, and night, uninstall all leveraged trading platforms, and delete all signal groups.
2. Build an antifragile portfolio
Split the 20,000 into three parts: 10,000 for regular investments in BTC/ETH spot, buying 500 every Thursday afternoon; 5,000 to scout new assets (inscriptions/Meme/new public chains),
each project not exceeding 500, requiring a launch time < 7 days and real active community; the remaining 5,000 to participate in 3-5 airdrop projects, focusing on high-certainty interactions like zkSync and LayerZero.
3. Establish mechanical trading discipline
① Set stop-loss for any investment: Spot -20%, altcoins -35%, abandon airdrop projects if they hit zero;
② Hold no more than 3 sectors, with no more than 40% of funds allocated to each sector;
③ Withdraw capital immediately once profits reach 50%, set trailing stop for remaining profits;
④ Forcefully liquidate altcoins every Sunday at 11 PM, and select new items the next day.
4. Establish a closed loop for monetizing cognition
Dedicate fixed learning hours from 7 PM to 9 PM every day: spend the first half-hour checking the latest dynamics of the top 100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, the middle hour studying project white papers and technical documents, and the last half-hour analyzing on-chain data.
On the 187th day of strictly implementing this strategy, my account grew from 20,000 to 96,000. Although I haven't fully recovered my losses yet, the early layout in ORDIs and capturing Starknet airdrops have already validated the feasibility of this system.
Remember: The crypto world is never short of wealth myths, but it lacks those who can transform failure experiences into survival rules.
True turning around is not about earning back 100,000, but about never falling into a desperate situation that requires turning around again.
