First, the conclusion: Don't panic, don't rush to recover losses, and definitely don't go all in in a fit of anger. What you need to do is stop, and reassess your trading system.
One, first ask yourself: How did you lose this 80,000?
The vast majority of people lose money not because of bad luck, but because of the wrong strategy. Which one are you?
Those who face liquidation on contracts? (The mistake lies in greed + leverage)
Buying memes at high prices? (The mistake lies in FOMO + lack of rhythm)
Holding onto altcoins that have halved in value? (The mistake lies in faith + lack of risk control)
Were you lured in by calls from the group? (The mistake lies in not thinking independently)
You need to honestly face the reasons for your losses to avoid losing a second time.
Two, recognize reality: The crypto world is a hellish arena against human nature.
Many people think the crypto world is a "shortcut to financial freedom," but in reality, it is a testing ground that amplifies all your human weaknesses.
Greed, fear, blind faith, impulse, and laziness will cause you to slowly lose money in traditional markets, but in the crypto world, they will lead you to instant zero.
So you lost 80,000 today, it might not be a bad thing—it's just tuition, and you paid a bit too much.
But please remember this sentence:
"Every penny earned in the crypto world is built on the losses of countless individuals."
"Your current loss is someone else's profit today."
When you are no longer willing to be the "provider of profits," you have truly begun to step into the threshold of crypto players.
Three, take immediate action.
Please do the following three things right now:
1. Stop trading, do not operate any cryptocurrencies for 24 hours, even if the market rises or falls sharply. This is to pull you out of the state of "emotional trading."
2. Write a review: The logic of this loss, the reasons, the emotional state at the time, the entry and exit points. If you can't clearly articulate where you lost, then the 80,000 loss is really unfair.
3. Look at asset allocation: Are you losing 30% of your position or 80% of your total funds?
If you are close to the edge of liquidation, consider reducing your position to stop the bleeding; preserving your principal is a victory.
Four, rebuild your understanding: You are here to make money, not to gamble your life.
Making money relies on system + discipline + execution, not on chasing highs and selling lows or blindly buying.
To turn things around, there are only two paths:
1) Recognize that you are an "ordinary person" and start from the simplest, most suitable direction for beginners: such as low-cap coins in the primary market.
Why?
Low cost, no need for hundreds of thousands in capital.
A high risk-reward ratio, daring to invest could start at 10x or 100x; more importantly, this is one of the few ways retail investors can survive and turn things around in a bull market.
2) Find a reliable trading system and execute it: There should be a logic for selecting coins, entry and exit rules, and risk control, rather than following feelings, following the crowd, or even following trending topics on social media.
Five, what to do? From today, rebuild your trading destiny.
You lost 80,000, it hurts, but it’s not the "end." What will really end your trading career are these three behaviors:
1. Not reviewing or summarizing, continuing to the next gamble;
2. Emotional trading, hoping to recover losses with one trade;
3. Give up and withdraw from the crypto world, never to recover.
The people I admire the most are not those who make a million overnight, but those retail investors who have faced liquidation on contracts three times, lost hundreds of thousands, and still managed to turn things around by investing in low-cap coins.
They have become the people they once envied, but they did not rely on "luck," they relied on understanding the rules.
Finally, here are four sentences for you:
1. Don't panic if you lose money; you are just paying tuition.
2. If you want to make money, don't rely on gambling, rely on mechanisms;
3. There are no gods in the crypto world, only strategies that can help you turn things around;
4. Investing in low-cap coins is the only opportunity for ordinary people to make huge profits in the current bull market.
What you need to do now is not to turn the tables, but to "survive."
