Ten Years in Crypto - 10 Survival Rules Learned from 100,000 in Tuition

Second Rule: Profit = Cognitive Radius × Execution Strength
For new coins, three things must be done:
Check team background / Look at on-chain data / Test contract security
Real Case:

Clear all leveraged positions
Reduce altcoins to below 10%
Set a limit buy order for a 10% drop
(Volatility exceeds 300% around Spring Festival/ National Day)
Fifth Rule: Smart Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy
• Segmented buying method during declines:
[Current price - 5%] buy 30%
[Current price - 15%] buy 50%

(Data shows: 87% probability of breaking even for those who stop loss in time after 3 months)
