(Encountered many people who have exited the market, those who have failed) I want to tell every newcomer in the cryptocurrency world: you must find a way to survive.

Here, “survive” does not mean merely getting by; it means taking root in this industry for the long term — with a clear understanding, a healthy financial chain, and an unbroken mindset, weathering the waves of cycles.

The first layer of wisdom for survival: replace “get-rich fantasies” with “survival mode.”

Don’t enter with a “gambler’s mindset”: always use no more than 5% of your assets to participate in highly volatile coins (such as altcoins and contracts), and keep the remaining 95% for dollar-cost averaging in mainstream coins or fiat reserves.

Remember: in the crypto world, those who have survived through three bull-bear cycles are rarer than those who have made three times their profits. The capital you retain today may be the only asset you have when others are jumping off buildings at the end of a bear market.

The second layer of wisdom for survival: turn yourself into an “anti-fragile system.”

Don’t be a player with a single dimension; strive to refine yourself in all aspects.

Technical skills: learn basic on-chain analysis (such as using Glassnode to observe BTC miner holdings and major whale events), don’t just look at candlestick charts;

Information flow: join 1-2 high-quality research report communities to filter out 90% of junk information;

Networking: connect with more than three “pragmatic veterans,” as their experiences are more valuable than any tutorial.

Remember: when the market crashes, your knowledge reserve, information channels, and networking resources are more likely to determine your survival duration than the coins in your wallet.

The ultimate answer for survival: treat “staying alive” itself as a strategy.

In a bull market, remind yourself: all surges are dopamine lent to you by the market, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

Most of those who called for LUNA in 2021 have now disappeared;

In a bear market, tell yourself: all crashes are admission tickets sent by the market; the more expensive the tuition, the more valuable the course.

Those who bottomed ETH in 2018 did so not out of bravery, but because they survived to the DeFi explosion in 2020.

Remember: the crypto world is never short of stars, only short of those who endure. When you learn to view each rise and fall with a “survival” mentality, you have already beaten 80% of the participants.

Finally, a message for newcomers:

In this game where 70% of people are destined to lose, the essence of “surviving” is not to defeat others, but to avoid being defeated by your own greed and fear.
