Survival Rules in Crypto: How I Built Wealth Without Greed or Impulse
Lessons from 8 Years in the Game
Making real money in crypto isn’t about luck. It’s about discipline, systemization, and psychological control.
Here’s how I made my first $10M in just 1.5 years — and why I scaled even faster in every bull cycle after. 75% of those profits came in the last 6 months alone. Why? Because I followed a system — and I respected it.
1. Avoid the Contract Trap (The Silent Killer)
Leverage trading is a zero-sum game. In 8 years, I’ve never seen anyone win consistently trading contracts.
Short-term wins? Disappear.
Long-term losses? Guaranteed.
Who always wins? The exchanges — off your fear, greed, and fees.
Hard Truths:
99% of leverage “success stories” = survivor bias
Leverage doesn’t build wealth — it destroys it
My Rule:
Quit leverage = Quit financial suicide
2. Spot Traders: This Is Your Life-or-Death Zone
Position Management Logic:
Lightly stuck (<50% loss): Average down, ride the trend, look for a clean exit
Heavily stuck: Wait for the next cycle (2–4 years). No shortcuts.
Core Rule:
Sell when the crowd screams bullish. Go to cash before the divergence.
Why most retail traders lose:
Take profits too early in a bull run
Re-enter too late, driven by FOMO
My Rule:
Set a non-negotiable exit target (e.g., +120%). After that:
Full cash-out. No debate.
Forget the noise about “10x potential.”
3. Timing Is 80% of the Game
Crypto markets spend:
70% in chop
20% declining
Only 10% in real uptrends
If you’re learning during a bull market — you’re already late.
Keys to Survival:
Discipline > Emotion
System > Hype
Guidance > Guesswork
Final Words
Want to win long-term in crypto?
Respect the cycle.
Master your mindset.
Build your system.
Let the market do the work.
