The illusion of sudden wealth is the grave of retail investors; discipline is the compound interest weapon for the poor.
This is not a motivational speech; it is a survival guide with scars.
1. Newbies die from illusions: those fatal mistakes that made me lose money.
When I first entered the crypto space, like most people, I was obsessed with three major illusions:
The temptation of '100x coins': Following the trend into a certain animal coin, daily rise of 200% is easy, but overnight drop of 90% buries you.
Leverage revenge mentality: after losses, going all-in with 50x leverage, liquidating in 5 minutes and still owing the platform 3 USDT.
Free group traps: Following 'teachers' to trade, getting stuck with altcoins pre-arranged in paid groups.
Only understood while crying at K-lines late at night: 90% of losses in the crypto space come from emotions, not technology.
2. My thousand USDT breakthrough technique: four steps from coffin capital to becoming a ten-thousandaire.
Phase one: Safely accumulate the first bucket of gold (1000 USDT → 5000 USDT).
Airdrop hunter's survival flow.
Open the Binance Alpha points page at 8 AM sharp every day, execute the 'three-piece set':Keep $100 USDT in the account for a guaranteed daily return of 1 point.
Splitting orders to trade: buying $2, $4, and $8 in incremental orders, each order aiming for 3 points.
Wait for double points day: aggressively trade limit orders when BSC chain fees are low; once accumulated 42 points in a single day.
In May, made a free gain of 1,500 coins worth $140 from SIGN airdrop, plus $92 from BOOP airdrop, achieving a risk-free total of 232 USDT.
Anti-human nature swing technique.
Only trade BTC/ETH two main coins, refuse altcoin casinos:Ultra-short positions: 15-minute level, with $30 capital opening 3x leverage, taking profit at 3% and stop-loss at 1.5%, e.g., running when ETH rebounds from $2480 to $2510.
Strategy order.4-hour trend, $50 opening 2x leverage, capturing a wave of increase, building position at $2350 before the June ETH Cancun upgrade, selling at $2550 for an 8.5% profit.
Stop when daily profit exceeds $50—Greed is the father of liquidation..
Phase two: Roll out golden positions through compound interest (5000 USDT → 10000 USDT+).
Pyramid dollar-cost averaging core assets.
Withdraw 30% of profits monthly for dollar-cost averaging:
BTC: Increase position by 10% for every 5% drop.
ETH: Must buy during pullbacks after Layer 2 locked value exceeds $108 billion.
Hold for three months, with BTC rising from $82k to $94k, ETH from $2200 to $2680, earning over 35%.
Hedging against event-driven market fluctuations.
Before Circle goes public in June, buy related Hong Kong stock Huaxing Capital Holdings:
Use 100 USDT of profits to buy put options for hedging.
After a 14% surge on the first day, took profit, netting $1703.
'Trading stocks is more stable than trading coins' is the biggest realization of 2025.
3. Blood-forged rules of risk control: How not to be wiped out.
Position death line.
Single trade risk ≤ 2% of the account: with a 1000 USDT account, the maximum loss per trade is 20 USDT.
Case study: During a short position on LPT, set a stop-loss at $18, hit it and immediately closed the position—resulting in a flash crash to $15 one minute later, avoiding liquidation.
Emotion circuit breaker mechanism.
Loss of 5% in a day → shut down and go work out.
Consecutive losses for 3 days → halve the position.
On the crash day of May 19, after stopping losses, shut down and slept, waking up to find I avoided a $3000 drop.
Leverage ban principle.
More than 5x leverage? Think about the May 19 disaster of 2021: the remains of a 330,000 USDT liquidation are still fresh in memory.
