Friend, are you still anxious about the wild fluctuations in the crypto market? Fantasizing about getting rich overnight, yet often getting harsh lessons from the market? I understand.

In the crypto world, living longer is a thousand times more important than running fast. This is a lesson learned with real money. Those fleeting experts have mostly disappeared in the cold winter of the bear market. The ones who truly laugh last are often those who are steady and methodical like a turtle.

Here are a few life-saving methods that have helped me navigate through bull and bear markets, and they will definitely be useful to you:

Position is the lifeline: Don't go all-in! The money you invest must be something you can afford to lose. I've set a personal rule: total investment should not exceed 20% of spare money, and no single project should exceed 5%. Lost? If it doesn't hurt, you can judge calmly.

Stop-loss is a talisman: No one can hit the mark 100% of the time. My rule: set a stop-loss line of 5-8% as soon as I enter, no exceptions. Once profits exceed 15%, immediately activate a trailing stop to let profits run while locking in gains.

Asset fortification: Don't put all your eggs in one basket! Lock 80% of mainstream coins in a cold wallet! Keep a small reserve in exchanges for flexibility, to guard against hacking and exits.

The magic of dollar-cost averaging: Mindless dollar-cost averaging? Too inefficient. I use a smart dollar-cost averaging method: buy a fixed amount of BTC weekly, but double down when the price is below the 200-day moving average; reduce purchases when it's above; during a bull market frenzy? Just stop! This tactic has helped me accumulate enough chips at lower prices.

Combination punches for victory: Don't gamble blindly! My safe fortress combination: 50% BTC + 30% ETH + 10% stablecoins + 10% selected altcoins. Review once every quarter to automatically rebalance. Steady happiness.

Bear markets are friends: When others are fearful, it's my golden period to patiently accumulate quality assets in batches. Bull market coming? More restraint on greed, take profits in batches! Remember, sell when no one cares, buy when there's a crowd.

Cash is king: Always! Always! Keep at least 20% in stablecoins! This is your lifeboat, your ammunition for bottom fishing, and your confidence to deal with unexpected black swans.

Profits should be taken: Made money? Regularly cash out 20% of your profits! Enjoy the results and improve your life; this is the ultimate meaning of investing.

Data doesn't lie: In the past five years, simply holding BTC has easily outperformed 90% of short-term traders who watch the market daily, chasing highs and cutting losses.
