6000U was my last bit of 'dignity' in the crypto world
That year, I lost 400,000 in crypto, basically putting in all my savings from three years and all my fantasies. It wasn't that I didn't want to accept my fate, but it was useless to accept it.
When you go from being spirited and fully invested to checking every morning if you’ve received a liquidation message... you know what it feels like to have 'lost everything'.
In the end, I was left with only 6000U, which was a small obsession for me at that time. I told myself: if I can’t turn it around, I won’t touch the crypto world again in this lifetime.
I began to reflect on all the reasons for my losses.
It wasn't that I couldn't read the market, but rather that I was too impatient, too greedy, and too easily influenced by others.
I changed several 'life-destroying habits':
No longer going all in
No longer chasing uptrends or downtrends
I divided the 6000U into 5 parts and employed a strategy of 'short-term trades + small fluctuations + rotating hot spots'.
In the beginning, I didn’t earn much, but one thing changed - I was no longer afraid of losing.
I developed my own rhythm with staggered positions, anticipating hotspots, defensive positions + proactive profit-taking. The smallest trade was an ARB rotation with 260U, yielding 23%; the largest was on a coin nobody was watching, where I made 1700U, and that single instance restored my confidence.
In the second month, I reached 14,000.
I began to have the confidence to use leverage, but not in a reckless way; rather, it was a logical approach of heavy positions in line with trends and light positions against trends. During the main uptrend of ETH, I used 3x leverage; I entered late but added aggressively, holding for 14 days and nearly doubling my investment.
Three months later, I stood at the 59,000U mark.
I knew it wasn’t that I had become stronger; it was that I had finally kicked the 'gambling' habit and learned how to be a real trader.
Now, many people ask me:
'I only have 1000U, can I still turn my life around in the crypto world?'
I want to say: when I only had 6000U, I almost gave up just as quickly.
It's not that you can't turn it around; it's that you need someone to teach you how to survive and then grow slowly.
This rolling position strategy, I haven’t publicly talked about it yet; for those who genuinely want to learn and turn their fortunes around, we can discuss it later.
Don’t take the wrong path again.
